One year ago today Francesca Isabella was born. I was so excited to get the call from Michigan and to hear the words "IT'S A GIRL" I couldn't wait to come home to meet her. I was so excited for Nikki and Matt!! Their family was complete, two sweet boys and a beautiful baby girl.....but I never got the chance to hold that little girl in my arms. 75 days later on January 7th I'll never forget the call and hearing "She's gone..." Those were some of the hardest days in my life. Not being able to go home and wrap my arms around Nikki and Matt and to just be with our family as we all mourned and celebrated Francesca's life. I hated being so far away...
I loved that little girl and even though I never got to meet her in this life she has a special place in my heart. I will never forget her and she will be one of the first people I want to hug after I meet the Lord!
Today as the kids and I were driving to bible study I was talking to them about Francesca and how today was her first birthday, Marina says from the back seat " Oh, I know! Francesca is having her birthday in heaven. Can we send her a card and balloons for her party and Jesus can catch them for her?"..... So that's what we did.
Francesca is celebrating her birthday with Jesus.
happy birthday sweet baby girl......
