Today you were going to change our lives. And even though we never got to touch you or kiss you or snuggle you, you did. Our lives were forever changed that summer day we heard your little heart beat for the first time. It was so strong. So fast. So beautiful. We fell in love with you before we even got a chance to know you. It has taken us a long time to understand that you are exactly where you are supposed to be. We know that you are God's child now and that gives us so much peace. And even though we wish you could have been ours, we have faith that day will come.
You are one of the best things that has ever happened to us. It's hard to explain - and maybe even to understand - our love for you, considering the brevity of your life. But the moment you became a part of our world, you gave us a new depth of life. It's almost as though we experience life on a deeper level now. You showed us this incredible feeling that only you could have introduced to us. We became your parents and began to dream...but no longer for us. We began to dream for you. You changed our perspective about what's important. You gave us a joy we'd never felt. You brought us closer in a way we didn't know was possible. We are so thankful for you. And when we are sad, we are sad for us, not for you. Because we started to dream for you, we had to find a way to let go of all of those dreams. It was really hard. It is really hard. But each day, we grow stronger in love. The love that you showed us was possible. It wasn't a coincidence that you were expected to grace us with your presence today. You've taught us the greatest lesson about love and we get to celebrate you every day going forward - but especially today. Happy Valentine's Day sweet angel.
You will forever be our little Valentine whom we will love, always.
Mama and Daddy
