Two, Made for Heaven

Written last month - but I posted today, as it's the second anniversary of Yachal's entry into eternity. March 10th, 2012. End of January and into February, I was having a hard few weeks of missing my little ones..

The last couple weeks were full of tears...again.
I guess I should know, that even though I have peace, tears over my two babies will come every so often. It's normal. And, maybe it's even good. Another reminder that life is precious, and an evidence that souls last forever, as I miss little people that I never even met.
I had one solid week of hurt, you know. The kind that is so deep, it rarely surfaces. But when it does, it comes with great force.
There's a few gals who were expecting the same time as me - give or take a couple months - and when I see them, or pictures of them, I think about how far along I would've been. That's not to say I'm not happy for them, for of course I am! But, sometimes, selfish thoughts creep in. Thoughts like: no one remembers my baby. (side note: I do have some friends and family who lovingly ask me how I'm doing...and I appreicate that. :)  I should be around 7.5 months along and "glowing". Instead, I'm not. I'm a mess sometimes, as I cry, aching for my babies I never knew.
But to gain some perspective, I want to quote some paragraph's from an article by Serene Allison. (after a miscarriage)
{Made for Heaven}
"I felt Him (God) speak these words into my soul...' I am your God. I am not cheating you out of your baby and your dream. I have plans for this precious child beyond this world that you can see. I blessed you to conceive this child so that it might exist and have a soul, but I want to take this one to be with me. Your precious baby was made for heaven and will not have to go through the trials of this world. Your baby is living its destiny, worshipping its Creator in heaven. It is in my arms. Rest. Rest in Me. Rest in my divine plan. I have the best in mind. Your baby is not really dead, for Heaven is the true reality. Rejoice. Your precious baby is alive. You will come and see for yourself one day."

I think that is such a neat way to put it. We were used to bring forth a life, a soul, that is made for forever - eternity. And God wanted it with Him. So, Yachal is enjoying heaven as is Tiny One. I will get to see them again. Even if I miss them...and cry some of those earthly tears.

After...


After a nap, everything is so much better for you Erik.
Life just seems more do-able.
Your tears are less,
Your smiles are more.
You cuddle, laugh and play.
You chase and are chased.
You twirl around and you dance.

...but that's all after you yawn.

Beauty for a Time


"The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever."
{Isaiah 40:8}

{One of the tulips, from my sweetheart}


Silholuettes

Silhouette of my darlings.
There is just something so beautiful of back and white. 
Their little profiles change so quickly.
I'll miss those little noses, I know.
Katelyn - my princess.
 Erik - he had a harder time trying to look ahead. :)
He had his eye on the chair with the booster seat.
