Miscarriage quote

My cousin had a miscarriage very recently and she posted this on her FB.


"Dear Lord, I would have loved to have held my babies on my lap and tell them about you, but since I didn't get the chance, would you please hold them on your lap and tell them about me?"

I thought it was quite beautiful and poignant. I 'd like to know who the quote is originally attributed to. Anyone know?

I haven't heard that one before. Maybe your cousin penned it herself. Have you tried Googling it?

Quoting Squeaky McGee:" I haven't heard that one before. Maybe your cousin penned it herself. Have you tried Googling it?"

I did and it came up several times but w/o an author listed.

Quoting Spencer Pratt:" I did and it came up several times but w/o an author listed. "

I just Googled it as well and came up with the same results. I'm sorry for her loss.

Not even religious and that makes me wanna cry. Sorry for her loss
