3 years ago today.....


My Life changed FOREVER! We lost our sweet Lilly! We took all the kids with us for the ultrasound so we could see her and instead of seeing a baby wiggling and squirming with a heartbeat, we saw a very still baby with no heartbeat. A piece of me died that day and it is something that you will never fully recover from. And yes, when I am alone, I still cry sometimes. But I do have some comfort too. The picture of Jesus with the baby is titled "Arms of His Love." Every year, in April, to Honor Lilly I buy Lilies. They are always so gorgeous and it helps bring me peace. This last December I found this picture and I had to buy it! It brings me so much peace to know that Lilly is being loved and held by such comforting arms of Jesus. She left us right before Easter, 3 years ago, but that helps me cope because I am reminded of Christ's sacrifice for us and that because of Him I can see her again someday! I LOVE YOU MY SWEET ANGEL!! Until we meet again......


This the only ultrasound pic I have of her. It from her 8.5 week scan.
