Sarah is dancing in heaven

July 2nd was a day I don’t think I will ever forget. I was with my adopted daughter helping to deliver a baby (congratulations Garret and Melea). When things were all settled, I was leaving the hospital and my phone rang before I was even near the doors.

My ex-husband called to tell me he didn’t think our daughter Sarah had more than a week to live. I cried like I had done when she was 8 years old fighting cancer, and I feared her death. I texted Sarah telling her I loved her. I texted her husband begging him to allow me to see her. It had been almost 3 years since our estrangement began, and God bless him, he let me back in.

I was with my daughter every day for a few hours. I told her how much I loved her. I told her I forgave them for the estrangement. I told her I’m so glad she got to fall in love, get married, and experience so much of life.

Sarah wanted NOTHING more than to be a mom. So I started praying that God would give her children to raise. Then they told me she had miscarried a baby in April. Sarah has a baby waiting for her in Heaven!

So each time I saw her, I talked to her about naming her baby. She was able to write on a piece of paper, we had cards with things that she could nod yes or no to. Communication was limited. But on Thursday morning, July 10, she somehow asked for me. I got a call from her husband telling me this, and I flew to their house. I was texting with my ex sister-in-law, and when she became unconscious, I told her to get Sarah’s Dad on the road.

Jon arrived and took his spot on Sarah’s left, holding her hand. I was on her right, holding her hand. He said his goodbye’s, and we spent a couple of minutes telling stories when she took her last breath. Sarah was holding on to say goodbye to her Dad.

We brought her into the world together, and we held her as she left. It was beautiful and I’m so glad she had both of us.

I will be finalizing funeral plans on Tuesday, and then I will share that information.

Just some fun info… Sarah loved the singer Jamie Grace, and Jamie wrote the song Fighter about Sarah several years ago. Jamie will be in Minnesota for a concert on Thursday August 7th. I will be there with several of my Sarah fans!

I’ve been slowly getting out orders, and I’ll work on those more in the coming days. I appreciate your patience. Today is the last day for the sale, using code FIGHTFORSARAH

But Sarah has won her fight, and she has a baby to take care of now!
