Dear Jordy-Bug,
While you have God's ear, please ask him to heal Donna too. She found out today that she has breast cancer. My heart hurts so much for her. She's not ready to meet you just yet, little Bug.
Love,

Praying for Donna
I'm a wife to an amazing man, a mother to a beautiful baby girl in heaven, and her little sister and baby brother on earth. I'm a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a niece, a cousin, a friend, a Christian, an Instructional Coach, a Packer Fan, a Badger Fan, and a bit of a neat freak.
Tough Week
Dear Jordy-Bug,
Mommy and Daddy are having a rough time this week, sweet girl. With the death of baby Barrett and your 3-Month Angelversary, we have a lot on our minds and hearts. Several times this week we have lain in bed at night looking at your beautiful face in photos. We are so very thankful that we have these photos to look at to help us remember the two weeks during which you blessed us with your presence. We are still in awe that we made such a gorgeous little girl.
Your Angelversary yesterday started out rocky for Mommy. Luckily, my good friend Donna came over and got me out of the house. Fitz joined us for a while, then Daddy and Matt (Donna's hubby) caught up with us for dinner. We talked all about you! They are such good friends; I'm glad that you got to meet Fitz, but it makes me sad that you never met Donna or Matt. Some day...
While I was hanging out with Donna and Fitz, Daddy was at football practice and he was pretty distracted because he misses you SO much. He was running backwards to show the players where to go during a drill, and ended up tripping on a bin of practice jerseys and falling backward. When he tried to brace himself, he jammed his left shoulder, elbow, and both wrists. He can still barely lift his left arm; even using the blinker in his truck was nearly impossible yesterday. His emotional pain is now coupled with pretty severe physical pain. So, please make sure you whisper into God's ear and ask him for healing for Daddy...in more ways than one.
Mommy is starting to cry again, so I guess that's enough for today, Bug. Know that we love and miss you more than we can ever express. Go on and play with your heavenly friends now...let Barrett know that he is loved and missed too.

Baby Barrett
Today I write to you through racking sobs like you've seen from me so many times since you went to heaven. These are different, though. These are for you, yes, but they are also for the Delmez family. As you probably already know, their newborn baby boy, Barrett, joined you in heaven this morning. Please do me a favor, sweetheart. Please find him, take him by the hand, show him around God's nursery, share your toys with him (yes, even the special Pooh bear that daddy gave you), and let him know that he is SO loved here on earth...just like you are, baby girl. I need to stop writing now because I can barely see the keyboard or the screen. I love you, Jordyn...I love you.

Here Goes...
Dear Jordy-Bug,
Well, it's been almost 3 months since you left us, and the pain and emptiness I feel are getting stronger. Some of my friends think I should start a blog to help cope with your absence, to help other people understand what it's like to lose a child, and to help other mommies and daddies who are in a similar situation. That sounds like a lot of pressure, so I'm just going to write and let it take us where God wants it to take us. I don't know if it's going to be a long-term endeavor or not, but for now, I'm just going to start writing. Today I just want you to know that I love you. Daddy loves you. So many people down here love you. And we miss you. I hope the angels are singing your favorite songs to you today (better than daddy or I ever could...still sorry about our sub-par voices while you were in my womb and the NICU.)
Love,
I'm a wife to an amazing man, a mother to a beautiful baby girl in heaven, and her little sister and baby brother on earth. I'm a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a niece, a cousin, a friend, a Christian, an Instructional Coach, a Packer Fan, a Badger Fan, and a bit of a neat freak.
