Dear God,

Take care of my little girl, the one with big eyes and soft brown curls. She was special as you should know. I really didn’t want to let her go. She touched the hearts of everyone she knew. Letting her go was so very hard to do. Her smile could brighten up the darkest of rooms. I wish you didn’t have to take her so soon. Could you sit and rocker and read her a story? She is probably afraid, pleez tell not to worry. Tell her mommy loves her and wishes she could be there, but it won’t be for many more years. She loves to sing all kinds of songs. Pleez tell her that she did no wrong. Would you comfort her and hold her tight? Tell her she is missed every day and night. Please tell her she is loved so very dearly, I will say it every day for her to hear. Her short life on earth is now completed for lessens I’m sure you thought I needed. Tell her I promise to see her again someday, when that will be I really can’t say. I promise to make up for time that has passed, hold her and comfort her in my arms at last.

Sincerely,
Amy (Mom)
