What many will probably NOT understand about all of this is the level of resolve your parents had for each other and you as it was demonstrated in the peace in the room when you were born. Their love for you as an extension of their love for each other was so obvious throughout your life. If a childs life is measured by the love a devotion of their parents for them and each other--you were loved 'over the top'!! They looked into each others eyes, said things like "you are a wonderful husband....the best"; "you are awesome..." "you take such great care of us"; "you two are easy to care for"...kissing hands, forehead, holding hands...just constant care and compassion. Your daddy wouldn't leave your mom..ever. (and he wouldn't eat around her once she couldnt have food) Once we were in L&D, we waited for your 'earthly' arrival...I played Don Moen, read from by bible, prayed as I walked through the room, sang to myself....it was as if the Holy Spirit had set time still and blanketed us in His peace and love. When you arrived, we were ready to see you and love you. You were perfect....Amanda's nose, Avery's turned down ear, perfect profile, toenails, fingernails, a hint of hair. We held you, touched you, let our eyes take you in Ren...what a joy for me to see you, rock you, sing to you, pray over you and love you. The nurse pressed your tiny feet & hand on an ink pad to leave an impression for your parents of you in a memory box. Pictures were taken, you were weighed and we just enjoyed that time so much while we were all together. Time has a way of laying in our minds as a measurement of existence. Our marking of time in this life event for me...was a lifetime....I am so thankful. We had to say goodbye and I was ready as you were already in the arms of Jesus. My last thing I said to you as I tucked your blanket around your body was "I will see you again Ren"....I am certain of that. Your mom is physically better, but missing you and everything you were going to bring to their life. I pray for Avery and Amanda that though it was a short time, they will find comfort as they seek His comfort, the only true comforter...our creator, our Lord. You are His creation...His miracle....Thank You
