TO YOU MY DARK HAIR BEAUTY:
Miss Autumn Faith, a week from tomorrow would be your FIRST birthday. We would celebrate by watching you shove frosting in your face and marvel at the way you've grown. How long your dark locks have gotten and laughed at all your sill little faces. But, a week from tomorrow we won't watch your chunky fingers play in the frosting, instead we will sit at your grave and sing you a song. We will send you kisses tided to the end of balloons and cover your grave in flowers. We will marvel at the thought that a year has come and gone so quickly. We'll most likely talk about your adorable crooked feet and beautiful fetchers. We'll tell you how we long to kiss you a thousand times, the light your strong spirit is. We will feel the wind around us and know you are there.
You are a little and a big sister now, thank you for taking on the roll of the example. Thank you for being close to Oakley for dancing with her in her dreams and making faces at her in the sky. I feel so blessed for having such beautiful daughters so close to their Heavenly Father. Keep reminding them of the reality of Heaven.
As you sit with your baby sister until we meet her special spirit. Remind her to always have faith in the unseen. To stay close to the sun (son). Autumn I know you've been blessed with a great work ahead of you. Remember, though our bodies may be miles apart our spirits are closer than we think. That someone on earth can be praying for the spirits in Heaven. Just like the spirits in Heaven pray for us here. Tell your baby sister I can't wait to kiss her toes. I love my girls more than life. Until we meet again my messenger girl, thank you for all the notes from Heaven. I will always be your pen pal. We love you so much more than anyone else could ever know.
