Most everyone has heard by now that our little girl died. She was born Friday May 29, 2009. She was so beautiful, it was very hard to know that we won't see her again in this lifetime. At the same time we know without any doubt that she is with her Father in Heaven where she is meant to be. We loved our little girl and cherish the special spirit she has. We spent some beautiful time with her body before the service. We were allowed to dress her in a blessing gown and say our last goodbyes. It was very emotional but so peaceful seeing her. Afterwards we held a graveside service for her in the Brigham City Cemetary. They have a little area called babyland, where other grieving mothers and fathers have laid there angel babies to rest as well. The spirit at this service was so strong and all the people who turned out in support of our trial was amazing. I felt so much love, not only from the family and friends in our life but also from my Father above. I know that He loves me and He will help me thru this trial He has given Josh and I. I cannot say that it is easy but the blessing to carry and give a body to such a sweet spirit has been an honor.
I love Josh and feel blessed that he is the man he is and has been right here with me facing this same trial. I am thankful for this gospel and the opportunity I have to have it in my life. Without the knowledge of eternal life and eternal families I would not be able to cope with the loss of my Adalyn. I am thankful for my mothers', who without hesitation have been here for us and helped thru our grieving by their brave examples. I am thankful for our fathers' who have shared in our loss and emotion just as any other. And lastly I am thankful for all the other great family that have been here for us and mourned with us.
I felt the silence the morning she was born, yet I felt an undeniable peace in my heart that I will see her again and have the opportunity to raise my sweet angel baby, my sweet Adalyn Grace.
P.S. Her dress was made with so much love and devotion by her Grandma Bryant.
