Baby of Mine... a gift of joy


This precious little one came into your world in the arms of an angel, on the wings of a dream, with the heart of a child.

Wanting you, needing you, trusting you... already wrapped in the warmth of your love.

and for a single fleeting moment time stood still whispering a quiet song of wonder.

How can it be that a life so small brings joy so great?

How can it be that a dream so beautiful is yours to hold?

If each breath of life is indeed a gift, what greater blessing could there be than this?

The helpless cry that first met your ears and pierced your heart,
the tiny fingers that first reached for your face and longed for your touch,
the first smile that fell upon lips too perfect for your heart to imagine,
the first time you knelt beside your sleeping baby and saw the face of an angel.
the first sound of laughter,
the first sigh of wonder,
the first prayer of gratitude...

These moments are the music of love's timeless lullaby...
the moments that change your life forever.

I am a friend of Heather Riggs so she has been keeping me updated on the Journey to Jadyn. I just wanted you to know that you and your family have always been in my prayers everyday. I have gone from tears to smiles to laughing out loud when I have heard and read the stories that you have written and what I hear from Heather. Jadyn is so lucky to have you and Shane. She is absolutely beautiful
