Letter To Jewelz (Ju)
My Sweet Honey Girl,
From the moment I knew you were growing inside me, my heart belonged to you. I dreamed of the days we would share — your first smile, your tiny hands reaching for mine, the sound of your laugh. Even though our time together here was far too short, you filled every second with love so deep, it has changed me forever.
I remember the warmth of your skin, the softness of your breath, and the way the world seemed to stand still when I held you. I wish I could have kept you in my arms for a lifetime, but God called you home sooner than my heart was ready for.
You were small, yet your impact was greater than words can hold. You taught me about strength, about unconditional love, and about the beauty and pain of a heart wide open. I carry you with me in everything I do — in my thoughts, in my prayers, and in the quiet moments when the world fades and it’s just me and you.
Though I can’t see you, I feel you in the gentle breeze, in the warmth of the sun, and in the stillness of the night. You are forever my baby, my angel, my love. I promise to honor your life by speaking your name, sharing your story, and holding you in the light of my heart every single day.
Until the day we meet again, I will keep loving you with every beat of my heart.
With all my love,
Mommy
Jewelz LaNeice Duvall ~10/16/24-12/11/24~
