Excerpt
I held the colored chalk between my thumb and index
finger and used my ring finger of the same hand to carefully blend, blowing the excess
dust off as I went. I concentrated hard on each feature individually, but when I finally lay the
colors aside, I was able to look at it as a whole. The baby was breathtakingly beautiful, and my heart
literally stopped as I wiped my stained fingers on a towel.
My heart filled with overwhelming love and longing
for the baby yet to be conceived; remembering Ryan’s words about his little soul
waiting for us in heaven. Wow. I prayed I could give him a baby as beautiful as the one I’d created
on paper. Excitement raced through me in anticipation of Ryan’s reaction when he opened it. I
imagined a Christmas as magical as the first
one we spent in Estes Park when he’d given me the ‘I
Love You Because…’ poem. My intent was to hang it, right beside this portrait in the
nursery. It seemed fitting, and I was certain Ryan would agree.
By the time I was ready for bed, the picture was framed
and matted. Since I only had two gifts for him this year, I made sure this one was
beautifully wrapped with gold foil paper and red gossamer ribbons.
Turning a small circle in the middle of the
apartment, I looked for a place to hide it so Ryan wouldn’t find it. Under the tree were the gifts the
families had sent, along with the pair of shoes I bought Ryan, but this package would be recognizable
as a framed picture, so it wanted to keep it out of site until the very last minute. A big smile
slid across my mouth. I couldn’t wait to give
this to him.
