From Kiya: (As told to her Grandmother S)
Mom gave me a bath today! She swabbed me with cotton balls. She says I'm so tiny that she worries about breaking me!!!--but it was the best bath ever. My Mom is so gentle and soft. I calmed right down and listened to Mom tell me all about how pretty I am!
Dad has never left my side. Boy is he tall--I already know that my Dad can beat up your Dad! I know I am going to feel so safe when I'm being held in his strong arms. I can tell my Dad will take good care of me forever. I love you Dad.
Mom and Dad, I love you so much. Already I have felt an overwhelming amount of love from both of you. I love that you sing to me and I love the gentle, caressing feel of your touch. I am so glad that you are my Mom and Dad. I know that one of you is with me at all times. I feel such comfort having you so close. I feel blessed to have you for my parents. Thank you Mom and Dad. I feel your prayers and your deep love for me. I'm sorry that you are having to worry about me.
I also want to thank all of my family and wonderful friends that have fasted and said prayers on my behalf. I feel the strength and healing power from each of you. I'm excited to meet all of you soon. I already feel a connection with you. Your love and prayers are helping to get better and stronger each day.
Thank you again, and all my love to my parents,
Kiya
This is so precious. I just bawled. How special to record these little memories. I hope her heart and lungs continue to get stronger.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing what Grandma's can "hear". Thanks for sharing this with us all Marilyn. Kiya has a long line of strong women behind her. I can't help but think her Great-grandma Slatter is praying and fighting for her just as much as we are - just a thought. :-)
