Visitor From Heaven

It's hard to belive how much has changed since one year ago. September 27, 2007 was the happiest day of our lives; Allen and I were told we were expecting a child. I will always remember seeing the biggest smile on Allen's face and the overwhelming joy that filled my heart. Although, God had another path ahead for us and it was not our time to be parents. Over the course of the following four weeks I was going to the doctor every two days to draw blood and sonograms every other week. It was on November 2 our little visitor went to Heaven. A dear friend gave us a book that brought comfort that is titled I'll Hold You In Heaven by Debbie Heydrick. If you know anyone that has lost a child I highly recommend this book. Below is a song that sums it up:

Visitor From Heaven

Words and music by Twila Paris

A visitor from heaven

If only for awhile

A gift of love to be returned

We think of you and smile

A visitor from heaven

Accompanied by gace

Reminding of a better love

And of a better place

With aching hearts and empty arms

We send you with a name

It hurts so much to let you go

But we're so glad you came

We're so glad you came

A visitor from heaven

If only for a day

We thank Him for the time He gave

And now it's time to say

We trust you to the Father's love

And to His tender care

Held in the everlasting arms

And we're so glad you're there

We're so glad you're there

With breaking hearts and open hands

We send you witha name

It hurts so much to let you go

But we're so glad you came

We're so glad you came
