Playing Tag in Heaven

Our Little Blessing 2 has preceded us to Heaven. My heart is heavy with the unexpected loss, but the Father has comforted my heart with the reminder that s/he is not without close biological family up there! 

Here's a list of some others, who welcomed our sweet little Ruci with all the hugs & kisses we'd pour out on him/her if only we could. And someday we'll get to share in those Heavenly loving's too.... 

• My husband's eldest child, who died soon after conception because s/he never implanted correctly.
• My husband's dad, who died years ago from heart trouble after weed-eating outside in hot summer.
• Ruby’s older sister, who was stillborn.
• My mom's 3 never-born children ... and all the other miscarried little ones in my maternal ancestry.

I got the call the other day - letting me know my bloodwork that morning had an HcG level of only 6, a sharp decrease from 137 in my bloodwork a week previously. I slept poorly that  night, mourning our precious Ruci's death but also praying desperately for our pastor's healing from a severe case of Covid-19. But unfortunately, soon after waking  up the next morning, we learned our pastor'd passed on to Heaven also. And the next week my hCG level was 0.5….

So although our pastor won't be here to perform the dedication of our third child (who also won't ever be here) - he is already there to join in the Heavenly game of tag with our Ruci, with Ruci's older half-sibling, with Ruci's paternal grandpa, with Ruby’s older sibling, with Ruci's maternal aunts/uncles, etc.
