WELCOME TO OUR WORLD!!!

Welcome to our journey of love, living in the face of loss and just plain living. We've experienced the greatest loss a parent can face--the loss our our baby daughter, Sylvia. She flew to Heaven due to complications of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) on 2/26/09. We have two "Earth Angel" children, Will and Stella. They have been a great help on this journey. We live a blessed rich life in spite of our loss. We are lucky to be parents to such special children. They are our life. Welcome to our life!

Sylvia Hope Collage


Just wanted to share this. It was created by a mother that also lost her baby. Google Abiding Hope collages and you will find her blog. There are links to several blogs of parents that have lost their babies for all you angel parents out there. I found it helpful to read these other parents' thoughts. Andy and I spent a wee bit of Saturday planning the perfect wording for the collage. It was done on Sunday! We will use it in our family pictures to have something to symbolize her. Also, I ordered Christmas cards this weekend! I wanted something special for this year and knew it would take awhile to get so I thought I better get on the ball! I went to Mass this morning at St. Anthony's. It was hard, but I'm glad I went. I carried up a flower to honor Sylvia. Didn't know I'd have to do this. Andy went to Loras tonight to hear her name called from "The Book of Life" there. Anyhow, enjoy the collage. It is treasured by us.
