Included

Recently, McKenna was doing some drawing. She LOVES to draw. She starting tearing off small pieces of paper from the pad. I asked her what she was doing and she said she was going to draw a picture for each person in our family. Later, I came back to find her little papers scattered on the table. Each one had a name at the top - "Mommy", "Daddy", "McKenna", "Olivia", "Gabby", and "Lincoln."

It warmed my heart to see that she still includes Gabby in our family, and I think she always will. She had such a short time with her, but I think it was long enough for her to feel like Gabby will always be her sister - just a sister that happens to live in Heaven. I also thought it was sweet that she made a picture for Lincoln. It truly made me think about how my girls have learned that a person has more value than what can be seen in the form of a human body. They have discovered that the true worth of a person revolves not around what can be seen but around what can be felt in one's heart.
