I can't believe how long it has been. My sister's baby just turned one month old. He is such an adorable little baby, just barely learning to hold his head up. I just think, "wow, has it been that long?" My nephew was born on the 11th of June. A healthy, handsome little baby. Seeing that picture of Lucas holding his head up I felt a little pang. Right where my heart should be. I'm so happy for her family, I am so proud of baby Luke but I realized that it's been almost a month since she passed away. I know I've said that before, but...what? Bentley grew up so fast. I guess I should have known. It's going to be so weird watching my nephew grow up and see my little girl every time I look at him. What a tender blessing. One of those bitter-sweet kind of things. I can't help but think "If Brooklyn were a month old, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold her head up," or something similar.
I'm so glad I have so many pictures of her.
It will be a good thing, watching Lucas grow, a perfect reminder of my perfect little angel. A constant reminder that she is waiting for me. One day I will get to watch her grow up. One day I will be with her again. What a precious, precious gift.
Be still, Oh, my heart, one day we will be whole again.
