What I Want To Tell You

I can’t imagine what it’s like to be a spirit up in heaven waiting for a body. Although I’ve been through this experience, the veil keeps me from remembering what I felt. But know that I love you and can’t wait for the day I get to hold you in my arms and look into your little eyes and know that you are my child. I promise I will do my best to be ready for that day, so that you too can have the opportunity to experience life here on earth.

Being born into an imperfect body definitely has its challenges. It can bring us a lot of joy and also a lot of pain and suffering, but this enriches our human experience and teaches us to have compassion for others.

I pray that you will be understanding and forgiving of what your daddy’s going through, because the world around him isn’t. It is truly painful that you are not here with me and I am reminded of it with each passing day. But I hope some day that will all change, and I will get to be your father and you my child.

God works in mysterious ways, but I have faith that He knows all things, and that God has a purpose for creating me the way He did. His wisdom far transcends our own. I'm sure you already know that.

I can’t wait to do the things that fathers get to do with their children--like teaching a son how to throw a baseball, or being a daughter's first love. I can’t wait to teach you and be there for you when times get tough. I’m excited for you to learn, grow and experience all that life has to offer. My only wish is that you become your best self and I promise I will do everything I can to make that possible.

You will be my joy. I love you already. Hang in there for me.

Love,
Your Dad
