Zoey Joy

There is a unique pain that comes from preparing a place in your heart for a child that never comes. We were told to name our baby even though we didn’t know the gender. I asked Dane because I really hadn’t thought about it, God had prepared me for this no matter how faithful I was to him...I knew that baby wasn’t ever going to be mine on earth. But Dane had wanted a girl and that’s what he thought this pregnancy was. So we named her Zoey Joy. & Zoey Joy will ALWAYS be mine. She was carried for only a moment but she is loved for a lifetime. We chose “Joy” because that’s the word that best describes this pregnancy. Zoey Joy was COVETED. Not just by her parents, by our family and friends too. We are all experiencing pain from losing her, but God whispered “too beautiful for earth”. So to our sweet coveted child, we will hold you in our hearts until we can hold you in Heaven.

  

 Birthday present from my mama! I will treasure it always.
