Man did I struggle with this one... Do I put Sylvi's beautiful picture in our local newspaper like I did with Will or not? I wanted to to show my pride in my daughter. I am VERY proud of that brave little soul. I am VERY proud to be her mother. However, I don't believe all the T-H subscribers have earned the right to see her. I have her picture available in many spots for people to see--in our house, on this blog, on her care page, etc. People who see her in these places care about her and our family though. They aren't just "gawkers." And, most of the people I don't know that see this blog have lost babies also. They are very welcome into my journey as well as Sylvi's. In the end, I decided NOT to put her in the yearly publication. She's far too special of a gift to share with those that don't know her or our family. I just wanted to put this out there because perhaps those who are local were expecting to see her. I don't want anyone disappointed that I didn't put her in there, rather to understand that it is BECAUSE I love her so much, I'm guarding her and her memory from those I don't want to know it.
With Love,
Sylvia's Protective Mommy
