Alex McKenna Alspach

We will never

hear your heart beat

see your picture on an ultrasound

feel you move in mama's tummy

celebrate your birthday

get to hold you

know what color eyes you have

know what color hair you have

know if you are a boy or girl

decide who you look like

let your little hand hold one of our fingers

change your diaper

introduce you to your great grandmothers, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and other loved ones

take you for walks

see if you are short or tall

hear you cry

hear you laugh

read you bed time stories

rock you to sleep

take you to church

give you a hug

put a bandaid on your boo boo

teach you to swim

take you to your first day of school

watch you grow up

we can at least give you a name.



We had to choose from gender neutral names. Daddy picked Alex, which means defender of mankind. I like McKenna because it means ascend, which is what you did...right up to heaven where you can be with your Poppop. He will love you and take care of you. I know it because he took such good care of me when I was little. I know you will make him smile We will be with you someday, until then you are in good hands my darling.
