No regrets
In choosing to keep her
In loving her with all of me
In trusting the Lord blindly
In spending special moments with her while she was in my belly - talking to her, singing to her, caressing her
In having songs that remind me of my time with her
In buying her special outfits, toys, blankets, and even a bag with her name embroidered on it
In laboring unmedicated for her
In her crazy birth story. The Lord actually eliminated so many of my anxieties by allowing her to come so quickly.
In not putting her on life support
In letting Micah meet her
In allowing friends and family to meet her, hold her, kiss her
In giving her a beautiful name
In having her buried in a beautiful place
In celebrating her with a special memorial service
In allowing her to be a wonderful testimony of a great God
In keeping her memory alive everyday through this blog, pictures and mementos around the house, and speaking her name
That she is an integral part of my life, now and forever
No regrets
