Here ye, here ye, let it be know that this precious family has good reason to celebrate the birth of this baby. Many of you remember baby Gavin’s family from last year. Tragically, Gavin was born only to live a short time on earth. No one understands why… it is the age old question we all want to ask God. Gavin will always be loved, treasured and valued by this family.
After Gavin passed away, his mom and I began a wonderful friendship. It was over breakfast one morning, she shared with me her excitement and fear about the new baby growing inside her. “What would the sex be?” “Would she be healthy?” “Who will she look like?” and on and on mom pondered. Nine months… back then… seemed like an eternity. It was a pregnancy filled with many doctors appointments and much monitoring. However, in the end, I know mom 100% agrees it was worth it all. Look what God’s gift to this family is…..
a girl! An absolutely, perfect in every way, girl!

One guess on who adores having a sister….

There is no denying that this little bundle is going to be so cherished by all who meet her. I believe that after you have loved and lost someone, you tend to cling just a little more tightly to those around you. You realize life is precious gift and it can be taken at any time. This family is soaking up every moment and relishing in a wonderful outlook ahead.

I love this one image of a very wide awake little one… she just stared right at me.

Thank you so much to this family for inviting me to be a part of not only the happy times but also of the sad times. I honestly feel like a part of the family as we have chosen to unite and walk the road of life together. Much love and happiness I pray for the days ahead.
