My Sweet Angel,
I love you with sadness and joy.
Sadness because I can feel you slipping away from me already, and joy because in you I can see the glory of God.
My heart is torn between the excitement of watching you grow and the agony of change.
I can't sleep at night, because it's at night that you change the most. I lie awake while you are sleeping and think about you and watch you dreaming about heaven as it grows more and more distant from your memory with each moment. I can sleep when I am dead.
While you are sleeping I pray for you, my darling. I pray for your future--your husband, the woman you will become, the mother you will one day be.
I pray that God will touch your heart as you sleep here in my lap and that He will walk with you as you grow and change as His creation.
I love you, my little girl.
Love,
Mama
