Despite how hard this journey is, Angel has given Jeff and I many gifts, including being able to hold her precious little body when she was born, which I am very thankful for. She has also reminded us of the fragility of life and to appreciate those around you - to be compassionate and to try to be a better person while we are on Earth.
I do hope to share Angel's story on this blog, one day in the near future. At the moment, I just want to thank her for allowing me to experience almost 32 weeks of pregnancy and to be amazed at all its wonders.
I was amazed to see her wave her hands and dance around on the ultrasound screen. I got to hear her heartbeat and cry at the sound of it. I was amazed to feel her pokes and squirms as she moved around inside me, especially when I ate pizza or something sweet like ice cream (she was definitely her father's daughter!). Jeff and I experienced talking and singing to her and telling her we loved her.
Angel gave me that experience and I thank her everyday for choosing me. She may have very well known that she had only a short while on this Earth and she chose ME to spend it with. Thank you my sweet girl.
