Nine Years

Nine years ago my life changed completely.  All of the hopes and dreams I had of becoming a mother came to a screeching halt.  It would be a LONG year and half before I would be able to fulfill those dreams again.

The days/months after losing Katelyn were some of the longest and hardest days of my life.  Music became such an outlet for me because the words could convey exactly what I was feeling/thinking.  Of all the songs that touched my life during those dark days (and the one that still makes me cry every time I hear it) is "Glory Baby" by Watermark.  It is the perfect song for anyone who has ever lost a child.  It gives me such peace knowing that Katelyn is safe in the arms of Jesus, waiting for me to join her.  She will never know the pains of this world because heaven is the only home she will ever know.  What a wonderful thing!

GLORY BABY by WATERMARK
Glory baby you slipped away as fast as we could say baby…baby..
You were growing, what happened dear?
You disappeared on us baby…baby..
Heaven will hold you before we do
Heaven will keep you safe until we’re home with you… 
Until we’re home with you…

Miss you everyday
Miss you in every way
But we know there’s a
day when we will hold you
We will hold you
You’ll kiss our tears away
When we’re home to stay
Can’t wait for the day when we will see you
We will see you
But baby let sweet Jesus hold you
‘till mom and dad can hold you…
You’ll just have heaven before we do
You’ll just have heaven before we do

Sweet little babies, it’s hard to
understand it ‘cause we’re hurting
We are hurting
But there is healing
And we know we’re stronger people through the growing
And in knowing-
That all things work together for our good
And God works His purposes just like He said He would…
Just like He said He would…

BRIDGE:
I can’t imagine heaven’s lullabies
and what they must sound like
But I will rest in knowing, heaven is your home
And it’s all you’ll ever know…all you’ll ever know…


Happy Birthday, Katelyn! 
We miss you every day...
Love, Mommy & Daddy
