Life After Ada: Shower pictures

This is Ada's blog so I don't want to post all about the shower here, but if you want to see pictures on my other blog click here.

Cradling Song

We cannot care for you the way we wanted, or cradle you or listen to your cry;

but separated as we are by silence, our love will not die.

We cannot watch you growing into childhood, and find a new uniqueness every day;

but special as you would have been among us, forever you still will stay.

So through the mess of anger, grief and tiredness, through tensions which are not yet reconciled,

we give to God the worship of our sorrow and you, our dear child.

Lord, in your arms which cradle all creation we rest and place our baby beyond death

believing that she now, alive in heaven, breathes with your own breath.
