Olivia's death was so desolate because we thought she was to be our consolation. We were determined that her loss would not be the death of hope as well. We were determined that hope would continue on.
That's a lot of responsibility for a baby girl, but I think she would have been able to handle it. I was so curious to see the woman she would grow up to be. I could see a glimpse of it in the little person she was.
Olivia Hope, what more can I say? You already know my heart. Peace, little one.
But I am like an olive tree
flourishing in the house of God;
I trust in God’s unfailing love
for ever and ever.
For what you have done I will always praise you
in the presence of your faithful people.
And I will hope in your name,
for your name is good.
Psalm 52:8-9

Yes, "little Peach" we did think of you as our consolation and hope does continue on. "But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently", Rom. 8:25. I will see you again and hold you again, but for now, I treasure the time I had with you and hold it near to my heart. Lovingly remembered by your Gramma.
