Heidi’s Heaven Day

Today is Heidi’s actual Heaven Day; the day that she went to go be with Jesus.

There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of my sweet, little Heidi in some way. Heidi was only with us for 19 weeks, but she made a very big impact on our lives, and will never be forgotten.

Heidi is a very special girl and has not one, but TWO special days to remember her by. Her Heaven Day (today) and her actual Birthday Day (01/31/09).

Heidi,

Your Daddy and I are so proud of you. You were always meant to be an Angel. You did such a selfless and brave thing by leaving us to allow for your sisters and brother to have a better chance at life.

There hasn't been a day that goes by that I haven’t thought of you or were reminded of you in some way, Heidi. You made such a big impression on our lives in your short amount of time with us.

I have peace in knowing that you are a perfect Angel, and will always be. We will all be together again one day, and it will be perfect. In the meantime, I have a feeling that you’d prefer me to think of you and smile instead of being sad, so I try and do that as best as I can.

Today is your day Heidi. Your Daddy and I are thinking of you and missing you always…

Happy Heaven Day.

Jeremiah 1:5

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
before you were born I set you apart;

    Your letter to Heidi is beautiful and a wonderful tribute to her life. I know she is enjoying many play dates in heaven and her wings are beautiful :)

I can picture her in my head & imagine how happy she is in Heaven, playing with her brother & sisters & watching down on her mommy & daddy until you can all meet one day & be together!

  17. I have been thinking about you all day. I held an angel today that came to soon and left brothers to still grow. I just kept thinking this was your story almost to the tea. Little did I realize it was the same day. I bet they are dancing around together.

    I am praying and thinking of you!!!! XOXOXOXO

    Happy Angel, Heaven Day Heidi! We all love you!!!!
