Letter to Sadie

Dear Little Sadie,

Little Bit, Peanut, Angel, Precious, Daughter…

Every time I see you, I don’t want to leave.
Every time I hold you, I don’t want to put you down.
Every time I bathe you, I don’t want it to end.
Every time I touch you, I don’t want to stop.
Every time I hold your little hand, I don’t want to let it go.
Every time I kiss you, I want to kiss you more.
Every time I change your stinky little diaper, I want to do it again.
Every time I look into your little eyes, I don’t want to close mine.
Every time I think of you, I smile.

Just know that when we are not with you, you are in our hearts and minds always.
Know that you will always be loved.
Know that you are what keeps us going.
Know that each time we see you it brings joy to our lives.
Know that you are the most precious thing in the world to us.
Know that there are lots of people that are praying for you each and every day.
Know that we miss you dearly.
Know that you have a home to come to when you are ready.
And know that your parents love you very much.

You are the light of our lives and we cannot wait for you to come home. But until then we want you to grow big and strong and behave yourself for all of your wonderful nurses in the NICU.

We love you very much,
Mommy and Daddy
