Hi baby girl!

Mommy loves you! Thanks for sending me some pink things today Kathlyn! Mommy loved that stuff! I saw the pink carseat, the pink balloon, and the cute little girl with hair and eyes like you waving and smiling at me. That was wonderful! You are such a sweet girl to peek in and say hello to Mommy, just when I needed you! Kisses for my sweet baby girl, you are so thoughtful and generous and kind and beautiful. I wish you could be all those things here with Mommy! I would have taught you to be those things, my sweetie, yes I would have! I know Jesus and God and the angels and Granddaddy are teaching you just right for me. Mommy misses you, and Daddy too... but we are glad you are in good company! Kisses for you! Kisses and tickles, I love love love imagining kissing and tickling you (gently for now, since you are just a little bitty one) because I know it would make you smile and kick your sweet little happy legs for me. I just love little baby-kicky-legs. You are just the cutest little baby when you do that! I miss doing those thing with you, so so much. I love you!

Daddy and I are going on a little trip for a week. We are just too sad without our little Joy.. so we need to go somewhere special together, somewhere we have never been before and will never go again. We will be thinking of you the whole time! We are bringing one of the little pink puppies with us to remind us of you. Not that we need reminding! We will be writing your name everywhere we go. You come with us everywhere, that's right! Our precious little angel baby, never far away from Mommy and Daddy.

So Mommy is sad because I won't get to write you a special letter on your 2 month birthday on September 30th. But Mommy will be thinking of you every second that day, and every day. Listen for me, I will keep talking to you all the time like I always do. The kisses, the tears, the smiles, whenever I tell Daddy I love him, it's for you too Katie! You were made just because Mommy and Daddy love each other so much. What a special little girl you are! Mommy loves you! You are still my baby!

Forever and ever,
Mommy

Hi baby!
Sorry honey.. we didn't send balloons at the party today. I will send you one sometime my love, I promise. Kisses for you! But I wore one of your pink paci's clipped to my shirt so everybody knew I had the sweetest little baby angel up in heaven! Many of them could feel all of our children in the room. Were you there too?! I hope you were... I hope you were giving me kisses and taking little tastes of my brownies.. Mommy ate way too many! Daddy is home safely from work now.. we are going to sleep. Dreaming of you always! You are still my baby!

Love you forever,
Mommy

Dear Kathlyn,
I miss you! Today I am going to a little party with some other mommies and daddies in memory of all our children who are angels.. just like you! You are the sweetest angel there is! That's right, Mommy's little angel. Kisses for you, kiss kiss kiss. I think we are going to have balloons at this party! Balloons! I bet you would have liked balloons Kathlyn. I will try to pick a pink one to release into the sky for you. Look for it, ok sweetheart? Mommy loves you! You are still my baby.

Love and miss you so so sooo much,
Mommy

Dear Katie,
I miss you.. Daddy does too. You are still my baby.

Love you forever,
Mommy


Dear God,
Since I didn't get to hold her and tell her about You, could you tell her about me instead?

Love You forever,
Beth

Hi Babygirl,
I saw your friend baby Kylie today.. she came to our house! She is Mommy's little shadow baby of you Katie.. she stayed in her carseat sleeping almost the whole time she was here, so Mommy could talk to her Mommy and Daddy. Little Kylie made some sweet little baby noises while she was sleeping, Mommy thought it was so cute and I was thinking of you the whole time.. I know you would make so many cute little baby noises for me too! Kylie is a special little baby and you have to watch over her too! Such a big job for you, my little angel, but I know you will do it for Mommy. Kylie went home with two sweet little outfits from your closet, and Mommy said "you have to put them on her very soon! And take a picture!" Mommy wants to see Kylie in these outfits because it reminds me of YOU! My precious baby girl! Kisses for you, kisses to the sky, kisses on your lips and on your sweet little belly and on your stinky feet! Kisses forever my angel, because I love you, and because you are still my baby! Missing you always.. and tell Granddaddy I said hello and give him one of the kisses. Here's three extras, kiss kiss kiss.
Love,
Mommy

Oh.. and you are still my baby! One more kiss!

Love,
Mommy

Kathlyn,

Blowing kisses to the sky for you.. kisses kisses and more kisses. Kisses on your darling little lips, on your cheeks, on your belly, on your hands, and on your sweetest little footsies.. kiss kiss kiss! I miss you!

Love you forever,
Mommy
