IN MEMORY OF
LUKE RANCIER
miscarried November 25, 1996.
Remembered
by Mommy:
Dear, sweet baby! I was thrilled when I found out you were developing inside of me!
It was so hard to believe that you were there! I could not wait until I got big
enough to show! You were Mommy and Daddy's little secret that we were dying to
share, but wanted to wait until you were "safer". We even picked up a grandma
book to give to your grandmas for Christmas to tell your grandparents! We had not
told anyone that we were starting a family, so we looked forward to everyone's
surprise! I ate well and dreamed dreams of your future. Who would you be? What
kind of memories would we share with you as a family? What was it going to be
like to be a parent? Could we raise you well?
Losing you was the most devastating thing that ever happened to me! All my dreams
of you were gone and nobody seemed to understand how much a part of me you were.
I think of you and look at your cousin that would have been your age and wonder
what you would have been like. I miss you still, but have been blessed with a
beautiful sister for you. I love you with all of my heart!
