Our community paper is published every Monday so this week I arranged to have a memorial in it for Abby. I wanted people to remember her, remember that we are still grieving, and be reminded that this baby cannot and will not replace Abby.
We do not need a special day to bring you to our minds; the days we do not think of you are very hard to find. Each morning when we awake we know that you are gone, and no one knows the heartache as we try to carry on. Our hearts still ache with sadness and secret tears still flow; what it meant to lose you, no one will ever know. Our thoughts are always with you, your place no one can fill. In life we loved you dearly; in death we love you still. There will always be a heartache and often a silent tear, but always a precious memory of the time that you were here. We hold you close within our hearts and there you will remain, to walk with us throughout our lives until we meet again. Our family chain is broken now and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one the chain will link again.
Forever loved and dearly missed,
Daddy & Mommy, Kim & Julia
