Adelaide Medina

Adelaide,

your name was chosen with love,

spoken softly in the quiet moments,

held close to our hearts

long before we ever knew

how precious and powerful

your tiny life would be.

You were our daughter

from the very first second,

from the very first test,

from the very first rush of joy

that whispered, "We're going to be parents."

From that moment on,

you were deeply loved,

fully wanted,

and forever ours.

At just 18 weeks,

you lived your entire life

inside the safest place on earth

your mommy's warmth,

your daddy's hope,

and the shared heartbeat

of a family that already adored you.

You fought so hard, our sweet Adelaide.

Your strength was a quiet miracle,

your presence a soft flutter

that taught your parents

what true love feels like

love without conditions,

love without limits,

love that survives everything.

Though your tiny feet

never walked this world,

you left footprints

on two souls who will carry you

for as long as we breathe.

You will remain

the daughter who made us "Mommy" and "Daddy,"

the little light who changed our lives

in ways too deep for words.

Adelaide,

you were the dream that made us smile,

the heartbeat that we listened for,

the future that we had planned with full hearts.

And even though your time was brief,

your impact will be everlasting

written in memory,

held in spirit,

carried in love.

Now you rest in a place beyond pain,

wrapped gently in peace,

surrounded by the love

that was yours from the very beginning.

We will look for you

in every soft sunset,

every quiet morning,

every moment when our hearts

feel just a little lighter than before

because that's you,

Our brave little girl,

sending love from beyond the veil.

Forever cherished.

Forever missed.

Forever our beautiful Adelaide.
