Other Blogs and Inspiration

D (an amazing mom, someone I admire, and a friend of mine) gave me the link to a blog that I've been reading over the last few days. It's a blog written by a mom who has an angel baby and it has so helped me through some tough hours. The writer of the blog came across an organization in Australia that writes angel baby names in the sand, takes a beautiful photo of it, and sends it to the baby's parents. Her post on this inspired me to head out to the beach on this gorgeous day and write my own baby's name in the sand <3 We decided to name her Jeslyn because it means blessing. Below are a few photos from our day at the beach...

Although losing our daughter has brought us such profound pain and sadness...she is still a *blessing* from God and we take some comfort in knowing that we will see her again one day. Until then, she lives on in our minds, in our hearts, and in the few memories we have of her during her life in my belly.
