Happy 1st birthday in Heaven, Alethia Joy!

One day we will join you at the Table
And you will tell us about your life with Jesus.
About the gift of love He's given you,
That will never be broken or lost.
So although we will never scoot you up to our table,
Teach you how to blow out your candles,
Wipe the frosting from your face,
Or give you stuffed tokens of our love,
Today in our hearts we will sing with the angels:
Happy birthday to you, dear baby
Happy birthday to you.
Thank you, Amy, for sharing this poem with me.

Happy Birthday to your sweet baby girl. I pray for God to somehow shower you with His gifts today.
Thank you for being such an inspiration to me and reminding me to treasure each day as the gift that it is, no matter my circumstance.

What a beautiful poem, Charity. I have been thinking of you and praying for you so much. You have been such an example to me throughout this past year. I see your love and faith in our heavenly Father and how you still find joy through this unbelievably painful heartache. What a day it will be when you can see and hold your sweet, darling Alethia Joy again. Oh, come Lord Jesus!

What a beautiful poem. Happy Birthday Alethia!

I am praying for you guys as you miss your precious Ally. Praying for comfort as you remember the day you said hello and goodbye to your sweet baby girl. One day there will be no more pain, no more crying... and He will wipe away every tear from our eyes.
