Dear Megan,

I've been wanting to write this for you since we were given your diagnosis just a few short days ago. There are so many things we want to say to you, teach you, do with you before we have to give you back to God.

You are so loved by so many people already. Daddy and I remember the day so clearly we found out you were coming. It was the day before Thanksgiving and Mommy had been really sick but after many months of waiting for our turn we didn't think it could really be but it was! Ever since that day we have been planning for your arrival as well as all of the things we wanted to share with you.

You have a big brother named Tonka. He has fur, four legs, and a tail but you two would have gotten along just fine. I'm sure you have met. He cuddles up next to me on the couch each day and comforts me when I'm crying about having to lose you.

We were also going to take you with us to share with you our love for ECU and ECU football. One day maybe you could have been a cheerleader but instead you will be our cheerleader up in Heaven.

The day we found out you weren't going to be with us long we went down the Beaufort. It's such a beautiful place and you would love it. There are dolphins that swim through the channel and horses that roam the island. Such a free spirited place just like you Megan. You are such a strong fighter and you look just like your Daddy. In fact, he picked out your name a long time ago before we ever dreamed it would be so fitting for you.

Megan, we love you so much and we are going to do all we can to take care of you until God brings you home. Thank you so much for coming into our life, we wouldn't have it any other way.

Love you,

Mommy and Daddy
