I wrote this on the one year anniversary of her passing.
“Today I stop everything, and remember my sweet, precious Moriah. From the moment she was born, she taught me about love. She taught me not only how to love her, but to love others. Justin and I couldn’t help, but look beyond ourselves, into the world she brought us. Whether it was the friend in the bedside next to her, her Nurse, her Doctor, her Therapist…she showed us how to see beyond the surface. Moriah taught us that there was so much more beyond words, beyond looks, beyond what is “normal,” beyond what is expected, beyond what is in our control. She showed us how to love well, and how to love deeply…to look into someone’s eyes, and see that they are beautiful, and see their value. Her spirit was unbreakable. Her joy was contagious. Her faith was immeasurable. I thank God everyday for her, my blessing, my gift. I am honored to be her mother. And thanks to a good and faithful God, I have the peace of knowing that I will see her again…”
