Dear Sophia,
Hi my name is Rebecca Kingsley and I am a friend of your mom's. You are such a lucky girl to be coming to such a sweet lady that your mom is. I don't know too much about your dad but I am sure he is just as amazing. Okay first things first. I met your mom at BYU Idaho in Barnes hall, girls dorms, one night. We were only 2 apartments away from each other and we had never met. There was a black out and luckily I had purchased 4 little electric candles. I went out side and called softly to any girls who might be out side "any one need a light?" and I held up the little lights. Your mom came over to me and we started talking. I was engaged to my now husband at the time and we talked about weddings and stress and school and the gospel. We sat out in the almost full moon light talking for quite a while. I was going to go and sit with her in her apartment when all the lights came back on. I gave her a hug and we parted ways that night. When ever I would see her out in the quad or on campus I would wave and say hi.
Okay flash forward ... I read online that your mom and dad were engaged and I was so excited for them! And I was even more excited when I found out your mom was pregnant with you! When they found out you were sick, my heart broke for them. Sophia, you need to know you have a friend already up in heaven waiting for you. I am waiting till the millennium to see my first little one. I was unable to carry the child even to the second trimester. I am sure the 2 of you will be good friends.
Dearest Sophia, you are so very loved by your mom and dad and all of their family. You are also loved by many who do not know you. Stay strong Little Sophia. If I could I would wrap my arms around both of your parents and you through this hard time but as my arms are not long enough, I will send my prayers heavenward so that Heavenly Father may hold all of you in His arms and bring you the comfort you all need. I keep you all in my prayers. I know that your parents will be able to hold you, if not in this life than in the life to come, but I pray always for your healing and your ability to live with your parents in this life. I love your mom as a sister and I love you, Dearest Little Sophia. *hugs* "What ever happens God is in it."~Joseph Smith Jr.
Love you Darling,
Rebecca Kingsley
