You already know that I've been blessed with an amazing husband (your Daddy.) Well, I'm also thankful for Daddy's parents. Your Grandma and Grandpa Sander are the reason Daddy is here and a lot of the reason he is such an amazing man. They are supportive, loving, and generous. They've been with us every step of the way since you were born. As we have dealt with our grief, anger, confusion, guilt, and irritability, Daddy and I haven't always been the easiest people to be around in the last 7+ months. But Grandma and Grandpa Sander have been there...waiting until we're ready...to visit, to talk, or to just be. From visiting daily in the NICU, to making sure our first Mother's Day and Father's Day were special, to walking with us in the Share Walk for Remembrance and Hope, to attending your brick dedication...they are always there for us, even as they struggle under the weight of their own grief for you. We appreciate that more than they know.
They were poised to spoil the daylights out of you. It breaks my heart that they will have to wait until they are reunited with you in heaven to do that. If you think heaven rocks now, wait until all your grandparents get there! Until then, beautiful girl, know that they love you and miss you. And Daddy and I love all of you.
Love,
What a touching entry Kelly! We love you and are thankful for both sets of your parents. They are true blessings in Jordyn's amazing story! :-)
