Baby Bug's 2nd birthday
Today is Baby Bug's 2nd birthday. I haven't heard from her mother or seen Baby Bug since April of this year. Her mother just stop keeping in touch or returning my calls.

I'm grieving today. I miss Baby Bug and I would've liked to see her on her birthday.

I know some may think, 'She rejoined her family last August, you should be over it by now!' Maybe I should. Most days I do pretty good. But it's days like today, her birthday, that I'm caught off guard. I'm feeling overly sensitive today. The sweet memories of our time with her are seeping in.

I'm offering up a prayer for this little sweetie, because it's all I can do. I hope she's safe and being well cared for. It's just hard to feel confident of that.

That must be so painful. Part of your heart will always be with her... Keeping you all in my prayers.
