In Loving Memory of our Sweet Angel Baby
Amadi Ekundayo Green
Conceived Born into Heaven Due Date
October 2012 January 19, 2013 July 29, 2013
On Saturday, January 19, 2013 at ~9:15 p.m., at 12 weeks and 5 days
pregnant, I gave birth to an angel. It was one of the hardest and most
beautiful things that I ever did in my life. With the love, support, and
encouragement from the midwives at The Birth Center, my husband, family, and
village, I had a natural miscarriage at home.
I am writing about this today, because I am finally physically letting go of
my angel with a memorial/burial service.
Today, I celebrate Amadi's Ascension.
In the very near future, I hope to post a series of vlogs of Amadi's story. Below I have included the letter that will be buried with Amadi and also sent to the heavens via a white balloon.

To my Sweet
Angel,
I want to begin
by explaining your name. Amadi means “Rejoice” and Ekundayo means “Sorrow
brings joy”. When a name is called, it is like a chant to and for the person. A name
is supposed to be a reminder of one’s Divine purpose. Your name was hand selected so that you could
bring about joy and hope. In the midst
of all of our sorrow, you have brought so much joy into our hearts and our
home.
For 5 weeks and
5 days, you grew and thrived within me without me knowing. I wish I would have known, so that I could
have had those moments with you. But
alas, I did not. Instead, I choose to
embrace the joy in knowing that I carried you for 12 weeks and 5 days within my
womb. I know that it was no coincidence that the day you were born into heaven
that Zuri, Baba, and I were cuddled on the bed as I awaited your arrival. It was not the arrival that I had hoped for,
but it was just as magical and spiritual as the day that I gave birth to our
living angel aka your big sister, Zuri.
We chose to
remember your life on Easter Sunday, March 31, 2013. The spiritual energy seems fitting for such
an occasion for on this day it is believed that Jesus Christ was resurrected
from the dead and ascended into heaven. So,
we chose to acknowledge your ascension into the spiritual realm on this day as
well.
Sweet baby, I
miss you with every fiber of my being. I
know that you entered my life for a deeper purpose, and I will continue to seek
that purpose until all is made clear.
Your existence shall not be in vain.
Even though I
never had the opportunity to hold you in my arms, please know that I hold you
in my heart for all of eternity.
With an
overabundance of love,
Umi
PS-Please make
your way back to us at the divinely appointed and anointed time! I have
included a picture so that you may remember from which family you came.

Sending
a Team Green kiss to heaven just for you!
