Dear Lucy,
This is your grandma writing to you to let you know that I think of you often.
Today, your mom was baptized and in her testimony she referred to a time in her early 20's where she experienced loss and hurt like she had never experienced before. She also talked about how she spent close to 5 years distracting herself from the pain with things like work and family. Your two younger sisters were born during this time, and in some ways your mom protected herself from the anguish of your loss, by immersing herself in the busyness of raising two very active little girls.
I want you to know that your passing was not in vain. The grief and pain your mother experienced eventually brought her to place of knowing that she needed to lay her past, present and future before the cross and fully submit her life to Him. Lucy, your mother now walks in grace and joy....and you were the reason she began this search. You see, my precious granddaughter, even though you only lived a few short months, you were an evangelist for your mother. You are the reason she now knows to Whom she belongs, and I am so grateful to you and our Heavenly Father for what you have done for and in her.
I miss you every day and look forward to when I see you face to face. You are missed so much but our faith assures us of a reunion in the Kingdom. Please know that you are loved even though I never got to hold you. Indeed the only person that held you was your beautiful mother. You are the only person who heard her heartbeat from the inside, and you changed her life forever.
Please say hello to my nephew Joel, who left this world when he was just a few short months older than you.
Much love,
Grandma
