I am wrought with emotion right now. I just checked the site "To Write Their Names in the Sand" and I was surprised to see my baby's name. I am so incredibly thankful for the service Carly and her family provide. What's more, February 2 is my birthday. Where I live, it is still Feb. 1. But, Carly is in Australia. There, it is February 2. Thank you for an amazing birthday present, Carly.
I love you, Elisabeth.
I began the layout for this blog in April 2008. I planned on blogging about life as an educated, intentionally unemployed stay-at-home mom. I never wrote a word. In November 2008, my fourth child was born still. Because I lost my precious baby girl, my blog specifically evolved into: life after losing a child to stillbirth. P.S. Four months later, add cancer to the subject matter.
