I have been doing some research for families that have gone through this. Im so happy that I have come across your blog! I have a blog too called http://thesoutherncricket.blogspot.com/<br />My husband and I have been praying so hard. We named him Tate. Tate has a hole in his heart, cysts on his brain, clenched hands, and hes in the 25th percentile for his gestational age. I feel I fear the worst but I still have a little hope for a miracle. Hoping to do a amnio soon. Maybe it will ease my mind. If you dont mind I would love to follow your blog. <br />my email is dckajones@att.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1388767200683622680.post-73227591416021968792010-12-23T15:11:32.133-05:002010-12-23T15:11:32.133-05:00I love you so my friend - your friendship is like ...I love you so my friend - your friendship is like a Christmas Gift from God every day. I will forever be thankful that you allowed me to walk with you through the life of Reagan Marie - Cindy, she was so absolutely precious - and I mean precious as it is defined "of high price or great value; very valuable or costly; dearly loved". Her life was of great value. Although the entire journey had the potential to cost you much spiritually, instead you threw yourself into the hands of our amazing, loving and sovereign Lord and the Light of His Love shone through you - thru every tear, every shaky smile, every ragged sigh - I can't even begin to imagine what you were feeling, but it was clear that God sustained you. You were full of Grace. Your beautiful way of always remembering her with your friends and church family make it clear to all that Little Miss Reagan was and IS dearly loved. I will be forever thankful that you allowed me the honor and rare gift of holding that sweet and awesome baby girl - it will forever be one of the most intense and powerful experiences of my life. I am an aunt 3 times over - but I have never been so deeply moved to be called "Aunt" as when you wrote "Aunt Melissa" in the caption on the photo of Reagan's Christmas Tree - I go look at it and read it about 20 times a day. <br /><br />I have been and am continuing to Pray God's protection of this wee little rainbow baby every single day since the moment you first shared the news. I am praying for you too, and of course for Bob - love you both.Melissa Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12230218548864968715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1388767200683622680.post-35421270207698743732010-09-16T07:14:01.571-04:002010-09-16T07:14:01.571-04:00Thank you friend for stretching my heart - love yo...Thank you friend for stretching my heart - love you!!KJ Albeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16749887600393137705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1388767200683622680.post-68386027418449274112010-08-13T11:06:47.956-04:002010-08-13T11:06:47.956-04:00Cindy, you were radiant the day of Little Miss Rea...Cindy, you were radiant the day of Little Miss Reagan's birth - and I mean RADIANT - through the most intense emotions you've undoubtedly ever felt - the love was just pouring out of you - I will never forget it. I will never forget holding precious Reagan Marie - so tiny, so beautiful - to say I was "blessed" by the visit, or "honored to be there" (and I am both of these things) feel like understatements. From the moment of that early morning walk when you stopped, turned to me and said "I'm pregnant!" all the way through your pregnancy, Reagan's birth, life, going to be with Jesus, the visitation, the funeral the reception - you never took ONE thing for granted - you were mothering her from the moment you knew she existed. It was a lesson to me, to recognize the weight and importance of the relationships in my life - with my child, with my family, with my friends - and to not take any of it for granted. I can only imagine how many women will find great comfort during their pregnancies because of having you to talk to. Love you my friend!Melissa Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12230218548864968715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1388767200683622680.post-65586021959815776952010-08-13T09:44:56.058-04:002010-08-13T09:44:56.058-04:00Cindy, just want you to know to that I think that ...Cindy, just want you to know to that I think that your pictures are beautiful!
