Always Missing You......... / MemaKatherine &. PapaRon (Grandparents)
Dearest Sarah Faith...
Our precious, sweet babygirl...
Were you watching me today as I sang your song at church...and the whole congregation sang along? Did Jesus lift you up as we sang your song...and did you sing along and "Say To The Lord, I Love You"...? YOU taught me to really LOVE The Lord...in a way I never had before. Whatever God purposed for you in this life, I know that was part of it for sure...and you fulfilled that purpose not only with me. You touched the hearts of all who met you and sang praises to Jesus wherever you went. Most of my favoriate memories of you include us singing your songs or listening to you sing with your beautiful crystal clear, perfect pitch 2 year old voice.
One of the things I miss the most is your voice...the way you would greet me when I'd come in the door at your home...with you sing song "Hi Mema!" that made me feel like the most special person in all the world in that moment.......and greet Papa saying "Hi Papa" in that same beautiful voice filled with joy and excitement and love....with your arms stretched out to greet us with a warm and loving hug. Or, when you'd knock softly on our door with your tiny hand and walk into our home with the same "Hi Mema", "Hi Papa" and run to hug us first thing.
And, watching you dance with your big sis's and bro's...just like a big girl, with grace and balance that was well beyond the normal 2 year old and always amazed us so.
Nothing about you was typical..is was so amazing just to experience you...and now we know why. God knew you needed to cram a lot of living into your short 2 yrs & 3 months..so he let you do things beyond any typical child your age. I am so thankful I got to be picked to be your Mema...what a privilege and honor...what a blessing beyond measure and I am so thankful to God that He choose our family to be your family. He gave you just the perfect Mommy and Daddy, brothers and sisters...grandparents and aunts, uncles and cousins because we all loved you and we all knew you loved us.
I miss you more than words can express, but I know you are with Jesus, and that knowledge gives my heart rest. I Love The Lord so much better and so much more because you taught me how. Thank you, Sarah, so very much, for what greater gift could anyone receive than to be taught how to fall in love with The Lord, and you gave that to me.
I know someday when our work is done in this life, that by truly Loving The Lord and Living for Him First...not letting the World sneek in and pull us away from Him...one day we will join you in Heaven...and we will all sing together again, only never with tears again. We will sing for The Lord God and Dance for Jesus...and once again I will see your smile and hear your giggle and feel your hugs tight to my neck and your soft kisses upon my cheek. I know this because for Heaven to truly be Heavenly....I KNOW MY HEAVENLY FATHER GOD must have already planned long ago for your hugs and kisses to be a part of the Love in Heaven, and your beautiful voice in song, giggles and greetings to be a part of the choir with all His angels.
Be near us throughout this coming week, please darlin...and ask Jesus to be especially close and let us all feel your love and the Perfect Love of Jesus so that as we walk through the anniversary days of June 28 - July 5th, 2005...we will be strong and maybe this year we will hurt just a little less and celebrate with just a little more joy that beautiful blessing of having had you with us for that amazing short, but memorably love filled life you shared with us.
We will love you forever and miss you every day till we are all together again.
Love and Kisses,
MemaKatherine & PapaRon xoxoxo
