We're so glad you came

Baby Gracie
March 1, 2004 ~ March 2, 2004
We miss you baby girl

(music player at top right, by Twila Paris)
A visitor from Heaven
If only for a while
A gift of love to be returned
We think of you and smile

A visitor from Heaven
Accompanied by grace
Reminding of a better love
And of a better place

With aching hearts and empty arms
We send you with a name
It hurts so much to let you go
But we’re so glad you came
We’re so glad you came

A visitor from Heaven
If only for a day
We thank Him for the time He gave
And now it’s time to say

We trust you to the Father’s love
And to His tender care
Held in the everlasting arms
And we’re so glad you’re there
We’re so glad you’re there


With breaking hearts and open hands
We send you with a name
It hurts so much to let you go
But we’re so glad you came

We’re so glad you came

(If you think of it today, would you please say a prayer for my sister?)

Lifting her in prayer.

Oh, I am saying some prayers for your sister and her daughter. My heart especially breaks because Gracie would be the same age as Madeline.

Sending love, hugs, and prayers,
Sara

I came across this blog kind of by accident but I think God wanted me to say a prayer for your sister. Consider it done.
