For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. - Psalm 139:13-14

  16. Romans 12:15 "Rejoice with those who rejoice and mourn with those who mourn." Know that I am doing both with you today and in the days to come. Wish however, I could do so in presence not only in spirit. I love you,

  18. Hello....I just read your blog. I am so sorry for your pain. We too went through the loss of a baby girl. Her name is Mary Elizabeth and she was born early when I was 23 weeks pregnant. She lived right up until the time of her birth. Our hearts were broken, but we knew she was safe in the arms of Jesus. I will be praying for you in the days and weeks ahead. In Christ's love....Paul & Lora Clark

  19. Your precious baby boy Carter is beautiful. We lost our baby boy Timothy on January 25th. As you know there aren't words to describe a mothers grief - just a short week and a half ago I laid in the hospital bed thinking I could never move again. But each day I am more and more grateful that God chose me to be his mommy. We are special mommies on a special journey - our sons will achieve so much in their short tiny lives. I know how proud you must be of Carter - keep his memory alive until you meet him again. He and Timothy must be celebrating together...God Bless You.
