Dear Mom and Dad

This was on the Facebook page called, I Am a Daddy to An Angel. It was written from the perspective of an infant loss but I picked some of the parts out that were good.

Dear Mom and Dad,
I wish I could've said "good-bye"...I am ok now; everything is better. I miss you and always will, but I believe we will be together again, in time for all time. Right now though, that seems like an eternity. In time, it will be for eternity.

Thanks for all you did for me...Thanks for the tears you shed for me. I know you did everything you could for me and I am fortunate to have you for my Mother. I am sorry for the pain and sadness you have suffered...

Please don't ever forget about me. I will not forget you. If there is something I have learned, it is that you will not find the answer to the "why" of this, not now anyway. God did not make this happen, but He will help you live, love and laugh again. Sometimes that can seem very difficult when you hurt and so badly want answers.

I want you to live today; be happy. Bring laughter back into the house. Dare to dream again. You know so much better than many that life is often too short, too unpredictable. Tomorrow is never guaranteed.

I would rather this all be a very bad nightmare, but I can't do anything to change that now. However, you can make something good out of my death if you use it as an opportunity to love each other a little more, and reach out. There are so many hurting people out there who need a hand, or a hug or a "hello" or just someone to listen. Don't be afraid to admit you may be one of them. Be gentle with each other.

On a still, clear night, look for me, out there in the peace and quiet. Look up, not by the Big Dipper or the Milky Way, but over there in the corner of the sky. See that small, twinkling star you never noticed before.

One more thing before I go, thanks a lot for everything that you did for me. Thanks for caring and sharing. Thanks for trying and for crying. I love you lots. And Mom and Dad, "good-bye," "good-bye for just a little while longer." 

Love you,
Your Angel Baby

(When I was writing this down, during the part about others who are hurting, Kaisa's name popped up on the side. I think you're trying to tell me that she is someone who needs help right now. Thanks for that!)
