Talitha's day
Our attention is almost constantly focused on James right now, but today we also remember James's big sister. On this day last year we learned that our first child had died at 16 weeks in the womb. We named her Talitha, which is what Jesus called a little girl who had died that He brought back to life. Our daughter had 69 chromosomes instead of the necessary 46, so her body wasn't a suitable vessel for her spirit. So today we admit feeling sadness that she is not here with us, but we are also happy that she is with God in a place where no physical frailty can cause her pain. And we look forward to the day when James, Melinda and I can meet her face to face.

We know some angels who went before Talitha. I'm sure they hold her tight and comfort her.
I have been thinking about you guys a lot in the past couple of days and where you were a year ago. I am so glad that you have been blessed with James...and I can't wait to meet him this weekend!
I know that Mom is right - Grandmas and Aunt Evelyn are taking care of her. Love you all.
