So That I Don't Forget

After we lost the baby we never really sat Sofia down and told her that he was gone. My belly was only just starting to grow and she didn't really understand that her brother had been inside. A week or two later I was sitting at the kitchen table and Sofia came and lifted up my shirt. She touched my stomach and asked "There a baby in you tummy, mommy?" Josef and I looked quickly at each other and suddenly I knew exactly what to say "No, he's not in there anymore. He went back to live with Jesus and Heavenly Father in heaven, but we will be with him some day". As simple as these words were, saying them out loud brought me tremendous peace and I know what I said is true.
