Letters to Grace
So, this weekend I bought a journal and have started to write letters to Grace. I don't know when I'll give it to her...maybe when she gets married...is pregnant herself...going through those emotional teen years...I dont know.
But I am writing love letters to her. How we've wanted her for so long...we've loved her before we knew she'd ever exist...how we've prayed for her and missed her all of these years. I've included what it was like feeling her kick for the first time...hearing her heartbeat for the first time...all of that stuff.
It's helped me feel a lot closer to her. It's given me some closure on my fear and anxiety. I'm starting to accept that she is real and I'm having a healthy pregnancy.
I would reccomend it. I'm really not a journaler otherwise, and thus has helped me focus on the positive things.
Plus I would have loved to have something like thus from my mother.
