You were supposed to be 40 weeks today... but in stead you are 1 month and 3 weeks old! Your spirits are gone & little pieces of you are everywhere. I remember you always. We have your pictures up in the hallway: you beat your big sister to the walls of the new house! Since you were twins, you also managed to leave a much bigger impact on mommy's tummy. I will always have my "love marks" to remember our time all in one body together. I hear that I was right about your personalities: Auntie Annie says God told her you're the sweet one, Noah! And Jayden I'm happy to hear you're a rascal! We got it right in the ultra sound: Jayden looked more like Mommy & Noah looked more like Daddy. We are so excited to see you both again that its usually too much to think about. We ache for you both. But more than Mommy aches, Mommy is as proud a mom today as I was the day we found out about you boys. I'm proud you're my sons. You were so handsome here & more amazing than I can know now. You two must be brilliant because we sure have learned a lot since you came along! I bet you've seen Africa, Canada & Alabama now in all of their perfect Beauty. That's better than what we could ever have shown you. You can see our hearts and our true intentions- if only you could send some memos to your big sister sometimes! We adore you. We're celebrating your lives today. I hold you in my heart and Jesus has you in his arms I'm sure.
Love, Mommy

This is such a sweet love letter to the boys. I love the painting. I know the boys are loved and missed.
I am praying for you. So are my kids and our youth group.
Maggie & Kyle. Thanks for processing "out loud" with everyone. This is so healthy to face your loss with honesty, in community (way to go family for standing together in this time and way to go Kyle & Maggie for inviting and accepting family to walk with you in your grief - this is so healthy). Thanks for including us ... we love you and bless you and what God is doing in and through you. May you be comforted today and may your walk with God be that much more intimate as you dwell in the reality of his kind but severe love.
