The Saturday before Mother's Day, along with dozens of other families who have lost babies, we celebrated
our daughter Lily. Each year IHC's parent support group, Common Bonds, holds the Walk of Remembrance at
Thanksgiving Point. There is a short presentation of all of the babies' names, then families are free to enjoy the gorgeous gardens of Thanksgiving Point. It was good to catch up with our friends from the group. The weather this year was wonderful! We enjoyed taking pictures with baby Eliza in the beautiful flowers as we thought of her big sister Lily.
We are so grateful to have Lily in our family. Having Lily has helped us be much better parents for Eliza. We truly cherish each moment we have with Eliza. Our patience with her seems endless (something I never would have thought possible). Lily's death reminds us of the fragile nature of our lives and helps us appreciate each beautiful thing we see. It also gives us even more motivation to be very good so we can all join her up in heaven and be a whole family again.
