When I read your post and saw the picture's of Ave it makes me think about my little babies that I lost I had 3 stillbirth's and I think about them all the time and this time of year makes me cry all the time because they can't be with me and I want them back to in my arms looking at how beautiful they all are. I know that it takes time to heal but I know that I can't heal from this because it hurts to much to think about them everyday. But anyways I am glad that all are doing good I wish you all A Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year from Kimadrianna yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17461095694070422092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5902675191615099501.post-87345815520191844272008-12-16T23:55:00.000-06:002008-12-16T23:55:00.000-06:00I wanted to let you know that you are such an insp...I wanted to let you know that you are such an inspirational Mom to so many people that you don’t even know!! I honestly have no idea how I found your blog in the first place, though I sit in awe every time I visit your blog with everything you have and are going through. You bring such a soft and tender side to parenting such a special child as Kaden and Angel Ava. God truly has chosen you and your family to be given such an awesome child as you have in Angel Ava and Kaden. Working in the medical world as I do, I see a lot of parents who can’t get past the shear devastation of having a child that does not meet what society says is a “normal” child. That fact that you write with such grace and joy about your experiences really shows what a phenomenal parent you are!!!! I can only imagine that writing about some of the things you have gone through can’t be easy, but honestly know that the words on you blog serve a much higher purpose!! You’re such an inspiration to what a true godly women is and I hope that you give other parents the “seed” to believe that there is ALWAYS HOPE even in the darkest days!!!! That they have to believe that doctors don’t always know everything and that by believing that miracles can happen, they will!!! I don’t believe I have read all the way back to the beginning of your blog, but what I have read over the past year, I don’t think I have ever heard you give up on your children once. You’re always striving for them to bet every milestone with the strongest of determination!! WAY TO GO!!!<BR/><BR/>Besides letting you know what an inspiration you are to many of us out in the bloging world, I am wondering if you might consider logging into another blog that many people are monitoring? This Mom I can sense would really benefit from hearing from another Mom with a child with a trach. This little one was born very premature and has had many, many struggle along the way. She was just transferred from her “home” hospital in North Carolina to Chapel Hill 2 hours away and they are running into lots of obstacles. Right now her daughter has just been trached due to capillary hemangioma in her throat. I thought you might be able to give her some kind and comforting words to let her know that someone out there has been in her shoes, morning the same “silence” she feels with knowing for some time that she will not be able to hear her cry or laugh. She is also grieving the loss of parental freedom of being able to take her daughter out and about without now having a full time nurse to care for her and the trach, especially in the car while driving. If you happen to read today’s entry you will see what she is going through. Here is the link if you think you might be able to help. http://mackenziealexander.blogspot.com/<BR/><BR/>Thank you again for all the inspiration that you provide without even knowing it!!!! <BR/>Kimberly<BR/>amazinggratitude@comcast.netKimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07505382998969509442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5902675191615099501.post-75113150534638973382008-12-16T20:47:00.000-06:002008-12-16T20:47:00.000-06:00We lit our candle, and I have pictues to send you,...We lit our candle, and I have pictues to send you, however I haven't downloaded them yet.

We went into my dining room where my x-mas tree is and turned off the lights and lit a candle. My boys were just so grown up as we prayed for your family. <BR/><BR/>What a beautiful post.
