Today is Ada's 2nd birthday. I can't believe it has been 2 years since I last saw or held my baby girl. To remember her this morning, we visited the same beach at sunrise where her ashes were scattered.

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.

Happy birthday, Ada! We thought of you when we were at the Oregon Coast and wrote your name in the sand of the Pacific Ocean. xoxo from your friends in Denmark
All of the pictures were just stunning!
I hope Ada's second birthday was a peaceful day for you ((HUGS))
