The boys

Dear "R-Man" and "Baby C",


I've loved the story of my life with you the last 15 months or so. I'm grateful to have had the chance to be your sister & love you as family.

I didn't know it until now, but you both taught me so well to live in the moment...to not miss what's happening right now. I did that more than ever with you.

How you've grown from coming to our doorstep in the middle of the night & not sure about us strangers holding you, to not being able to let us walk out the door without running after us, yelling, "I NEED A KISS!!!"

More than anything, I hope you remember we tried to show you Jesus.

Though my heart is breaking, He loves you more than I ever could.

He is why I have hope in one of the hardest moments put in front of me.

I believe He'll make something beautiful out of our crossed paths.

I believe this heartache & endless tears aren't for nothing.

He is why I smile when I think of your future, even though I can't count the number of times I prayed I would be in that future.


This is me letting go ... And this is me never forgetting you.
