New life. LIFE. No doctors. No drugs. And yet LIFE. To say that I'm shocked is an understatement. We had come to the tentative decision to end this infertility journey after walking a bumpy road of trials once again. Nate was on one page and I on another. I went to therapy to try to FIND … Continue reading New Life Grows Hope
One of the sessions at the 2014 Stillbirth Summit was a free writing workshop. After such an intense few days of medical research and information I was ready for a creative release. Although I've enjoyed writing for quite some time I haven't really sat down in a creative sense since my days in college. I was … Continue reading You Came Back To Me

I love that this candle has three wicks encircled in white wax. They seem protected. We light it often when we're thinking about them. It lives in a plate that says, "You Are Special Today". We got it as a wedding gift from a dear friend Leslee. I imagined using it for our family on … Continue reading We Remember You : You Are Special Today
