Happy Birthday Stacy! / Linda Cope (Mother)
Dear Stacy,
With this body, I carried you inside me till the day you were born. I was so excited about being a mom, and I felt so special during those nine months. The first time I felt you move I was in awe, I loved being pregnant with you. I couldn't wait till you were born so I could hold you in my arms. With this body, I will always feel an emptiness that can never be filled.
With these eyes, I saw you for the first time when the doctor put you in my arms, and I remember thinking how cute you were. I counted your fingers and your toes and welcomed you into the world.
I saw you take your first step and I was so proud of you. I watched you dress yourself for the first time, you were so independent. I watched you grow from a tiny baby into a beautiful young woman. I remember watching you sleep when I first bought you home, just thinking how lucky I was to have you, I couldn't believe you were mine
With these eyes, I cried so many tears the night you died, because I knew I would never see you again. I was and still am devastated.
With these ears, I heard your first cry when you were born. I heard you speak your first word, and I heard you say your lines when you were in the school play. I heard you sing along with the radio to all your favorite songs. I also heard you cry many tears, when you were upset about something. I tried to comfort you the best I could.
With these ears, I heard family and friends tell me how sorry they were at your funeral that I had lost you.
With these lips I kissed you softly when you were born. I sang you lullabies so you would go to sleep. I kissed all your boo boos so they wouldn't hurt anymore. I told you over and over how much I loved you.
With these lips, I pray over and over that God will take me home too, so I can be with you again.
With these hands, I held you close to me when you cried. I rocked you to sleep, when you were fussy. I fed you your first meal, and I colored with you when you had to stay in bed. I tucked you in at night, and read you a story so I could spend more time with you. With these hands I pray that God is taking care of you for me until I get there.
With these arms, I hugged you, and told you I loved you. I held you tight when you had a bad dream and couldn't sleep. I hugged you when you needed a friend to talk to you, and gave you advice. With these arms, I wish I could hug you now, and tell you how much I miss you.
With this mind, I taught you how to be a loving caring person. I thought of ways to make you laugh when you were sad. I helped you with your homework, and I always thought you were so smart.
I wanted to be there when you had a problem, so I could help you learn some of life's lessons. With this mind I think over and over, that maybe if I had done things differently, you would still be here. I am so sorry, I wasn't there with you when you left, I hope you forgive me.
With this heart, I loved you your whole life, and I still do. I still feel the pain and heartbreak of losing you. I think about you every day, and wish you were here with me. Life means nothing to me, since you left and I will never be happy again. With this heart, I feel so lost and lonely without you by my side. I miss having our little talks, sharing all the things in life that mothers and daughters share.
Stacy, you are so loved and missed. If only I could see you smile at me again and hear your laughter. It seems like yesterday that I bought you home from the hospital and couldn't wait to show you off. My life is so empty now, and I know it will never get better.
I love you so much and I dream of the day we will be together again.
I will always love you my little girl.
MOM
