Her firstborn arrived at 19 weeks and died within a few minutes. My daughter and son-in-law kept little Elias with them for 26 hours. All four of his grandparents held him and cherished him also. My daughter's first daughter, Elianna, was born a year later at 23 weeks. She lived for 18 hours in the NICU. Again, all four grandparents visited little Elianna, and we were so sure she would be God's tiny miracle of life. After she died, her parents kept her with them for two days. It was so hard to say good-bye. Five months later, our adoptive granddaughter, Tahlia, was born at 31 weeks. My daughter and son-in-law were able to spend all their time with her. And my daughter had pumped every 3 hours around the clock since Elianna was born. So she was able to give Tahlia and herself the wonderful gift of breastfeeding. Tahlia is God's wonderful miracle and gift to her parents and to the whole family! We are so grateful to her courageous birthmother. In December, little Maura died at 10 weeks in my daughter's womb. We are still praying that God will indeed bless this wonderful family with a healthy baby brother or sister for Tahlia. <br />Thanks to you and your mother for such a wonderful book of faith and love for your Molly. And thank you for your blog which I have just started reading.<br />A grandmother of four -- three in Heaven with our Lord, and one to treasure and love here on earth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930154992656197046.post-14950304760275593692010-08-31T12:35:21.752-06:002010-08-31T12:35:21.752-06:00I have just cried many tears for you and me as I r...I have just cried many tears for you and me as I read this post. I lost my little Molly Grace on Oct 31st last year when she was stillborn. I was given your book shortly after. I read it in two days. Thank you for writing the book. Since then, I have been following your blog.<br />Today my husband and I finally picked out a grave stone for Molly. It is something we just didn't want to do. I wanted to let you know that we used the same words that you put on your Molly's grave: We cannot Lord Thy purpose see, but all is well that's done by Thee. <br />Thank you for sharing your story. You have helped me in my journey of grief.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02366869273862704608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930154992656197046.post-16779840266377590302009-12-07T13:05:43.183-07:002009-12-07T13:05:43.183-07:00Oh, sweet girl, if you could see me now, you would...Oh, sweet girl, if you could see me now, you would see my tears.

I cry for me not for him for I know where he is and that through God's grace I will get to spend eternity with him!!!mommidwesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16958953476831583188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930154992656197046.post-44584464070308421462008-09-16T20:23:00.000-06:002008-09-16T20:23:00.000-06:00Having caught a small glimpse of this beautiful mo...Having caught a small glimpse of this beautiful moment, I am moved again to read your recollection.
