Mother's Day 2011



Today was such a special day. Last year, I sat in church during the baby dedication ceremony with my heart broken. I should have been participating with Gabby. Instead, I sat there with no baby in my arms and also knowing Jason and I were once again facing infertility issues. I felt some strange pains and just knew it meant another failed cycle of trying to conceive. I cried when a stuffed lamb and Bible were presented to Jason and I in memory of Gabby. After church, we visited the cemetery and I felt so much sadness. The next day, our 13th wedding anniversary, a home pregnancy test revealed an answer to so many prayers. PREGNANT!

Today Jason and I participated in the baby dedication ceremony with Lincoln. What a miracle! What a tremendous blessing to be holding my son in my arms today. I must admit that I felt like Gabby was right there with me, at least in spirit.

After church, we visited the cemetery. It was the closest I could get to having all four of my children together on Mother's Day. Lincoln had his first visit to big sister's grave. It was a very special moment.

My sweet little Gabby, I miss you so much today and always. I'm sending tons of hugs and kisses up to Heaven for you today. You are so missed, baby girl.
