The letter we wrote to Paige Miracle that was read at memorial service.

To our sweet baby Paige Miracle,

From the very moment we knew of your existence, we have loved you. We were so blessed to have had 4 precious days with you after being prepared that we may only have minutes. During these days we had the chance to notice the little things that we would never have known about you otherwise. Things like you having Mommy’s widow’s peak in your hairline and Daddy’s “Lying Toe” on both feet as well as big sister Leilani’s full lips and perfect little dimple by those sweet little lips. Such memories we have to treasure, thank you so much for holding on and giving us extra time to spend with you, what a precious gift.
When I think of all the things you’ll never do in this life…all the “firsts” we will not experience with you, I am reminded that you gave so much more in your short life than most of us give in a lifetime of many years. Your gift of a chance at life to all those babies who otherwise would have no hope is just one of the many miracles of Paige. You have touched the lives of so many already and you have even caused some to reassess their belief that there is a God.
All of your nurses were amazed to hear of all the “Miracles of Paige” and were so very impressed by your strong will to live and seemingly having your own agenda of when it was time to go to Jesus.
Your apparent fondness of the number 4 will forever impact our lives. From your birthday of 4/8, your time of birth at 4:44pm, your weight of 4 lbs. 8 oz., and the fact that you are the 4th Anencephaly baby in the United States to offer the gift of life through organ donation. Not to mention your time spent in this life was 4 ¼ days, almost to the minute. When Pastor Hale came in to pray with us and console us after your passing he reminded us not to forget about the 4th man in the fire; rightly fitting because without that 4th man we would never have had the strength to endure these last 4 months following your diagnosis.
Baby Paige, this family of 4 will not be the same without you…when we all took our turn to say our “see you later’s” we came to realize that while it will seem like such a long time to us, for you it will be but a brief moment before we are reunited in that haven called Heaven at end of the road.
