Our daughter, Lily Grace, was born to heaven on June 6, 2010. She was diagnosed with alobar holoprosencephaly (HPE) and a rare arrangment of trisomy 18 (isochrome 18q). To learn more about our experience, you may want to start at the beginning. Read Lily's Story: from Beginning to End, which is one of the first blog entries on June 24, 2010.


He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Psalm 147:3

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. Psalm 46:1

should've, would've, could've

It's one of those days...just when I think I'm doing pretty well...

I looked at my calendar today and realized

I should've been 30 weeks pregnant today. I would've felt my baby's kicks. I could've been decorating her nursery and buying cute pink clothes.

Instead, I am thinking of ways to make money that can be donated to help families whose babies won't live. I love that this is my new passion, but I hate that this is the reason.

Tomorrow will be a better day. It has to be.

    Ah Wendy, that is such a steep price for passion. I wish it was different and I'm so impressed with you turning this sorrow into something better.
