A Father's Day Wish

Though her time with us was short, Dylan was loved beyond words.  From the moment we found out we were having a girl, she immediately became mommy's and daddy's girl before we even left the ultrasound appointment.  She was loved from the moment we found out we were pregnant.

I want to give my husband a special father's day message.  For 38 weeks, you showed love for someone you hadn't even met yet.  The joy had from feeling her kick in my belly, to seeing her "wave" to us from the ultrasounds... to the worry when we found out there was something wrong.  You stayed strong for all of us.  When you held her for the first and only time, however sad, you gave her all your love.  We made the hardest decision any parent can make, and we did that with Dylan in our hearts.

It's a different father's day for us.  It's one of love for a child who is no longer with us.  She never had a chance to get to know how much love was waiting her for when she arrived, but as an angel, I want to believe she knows now.  She will always be daddy's and mommy's girl.
