Painiversary

A dancing girl who never danced
The laughing child who never laughed
Little girl loved, but never kissed
Flashing eyes which never sparkled
Tiny hands which never held mine
Perfect lips which didn't smile

Aching parents you did not see
Mourning siblings you never knew
A birthday of tragedy
Annual remembrance of pain

Pray for us, our daughter
Our sister
Our saint
Our Bernadette

I have often asked Bernadette to pray for your family, especially you. Thank you for introducing me to your daughter and giving me another saint to implore intercession from. Happy Birthday sweet baby girl.

Beautiful tribute and very touching! I will ask Bernadette to intercede for our own little family that is continuing to grieve the early loss of 2 children to miscarriage over the past couple years. Thank you for this reminder to never forget them.

God bless little Bernadette. I hope she is playing with our little lost Felicity!

Thinking of you and your beautiful daughter. I know she is in heaven with our beautiful children.

It is comforting to think of our little ones as resting in the arms of Our Lady or playing at the feet of Jesus.

My prayers are with you.

This cuts too close. I cannot speak.
