A Little Life Remembered


For you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.



Today, Jennifer and I remember the small life we lost this time last year.  You know what?  Miscarriages suck.  We didn’t have long to become connected to our second child, but we loved him or her, and don’t want to forget them.  That’s the scary part… We don’t want to forget.  Even though God saw fit for this little one to only be part of our life for a few months, and though they never experienced the light of day, they are a part of our story and are a life to be celebrated.

“I know the plans I have for you” declares the Lord.  For some reason, I am sure we will not understand this side of heaven; the Lord chose this plan for our second.  In this, we trust we’ll meet them someday.

You are loved baby.
