I have travis,...i am with you all the way in this. I have travis, my firstborn...and he was and is my "have to" as far as having to get thru it without him seeing me cry every day. I believe God gave me and gives you the grace to carry this life...simply because we chose to say yes to Him and to life. We are an example to the world and counter cultural and a witness of hope! I'm so glad you wrote! I would love to be here with you on this journey. How old is Clayton? My travis was just under 17 months when we had Cana. (fyi, named after john 2:11)<br /><br />I will follow your blog and please keep my email handy if there are any thoughts, fears, joys, struggles, basic questions. It sounds like you have a great base, but please add me to it. I found people that reached out to me were the greatest strength. So many of us run from the cross...i found i lost not only my daughter but those (family and friends) who didn't know how to cope or didn't know what to say. <br /><br />chrisabf@swbell.net<br /><br />peace always.christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09237298811988761237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7535428512866611512.post-63769232762483184512009-06-24T15:44:44.975-04:002009-06-24T15:44:44.975-04:00Hi, I don't know you, but I saw the Today show...Hi, I don't know you, but I saw the Today show piece on Eliot this morning, and off the Mooney's blog I saw your mom's comment and that led me to you. I saw you are carrying a baby girl with Trisomy 18. I thought I'd send a quick note because I am a live-in caretaker for a girl with full Trisomy 18. She is 12 years old--yes, 12 years old! Her funeral was planned before she was born and her parents never expected to bring her home at all, let alone have her still here 12 years later! So sometimes God has other things planned than the doctors do... I don't know if you've already connected with other people or not, but if you're interested in hearing about Kammie's story, my email is KristiPlucker@hotmail.com. There's also the SOFT national support organization for Trisomies 18 & 13 which is a great network of people affected by this. There's a yearly conference, this year in Virginia, which includes a memorial balloon release. Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep might also be something to look into; they are a network of volunteer photographers who come into the hospital or wherever to help you remember a baby who's time on earth is much too short.
