Baby Harry


Basically everyone who might be reading this blog knows our story. Our little Harry came into the world on April 19 at 3:42 am and left us to return to Heavenly Father on April 24 at 5:22 pm. His short life has forever touched our hearts and changed our family. He was beautiful and perfect. And we miss him immensely.

We wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you. Thank you to those who prayed with us and fasted with us. To those who came to our house and cleaned while we were at the hospital with our sweet boy. To those who came to the hospital to see him and get to know him. To those who couldn't because it broke their hearts. To those who brought food and comfort to our home. To those who donated so that we could afford to bury him and continue with life without the added stress of knowing how we were going to pay bills. For those who donated time and talent to help us in so many other ways. There are too many things to list. Too many people who helped in quiet, loving ways to make Harry's time here and the days since he's been gone easier and better. There is no way to say thank you enough for all of the support. Just know that it fills our hearts and we love you.

I love this picture of Harry! It sure shows how much he and Gracie look alike as newborns!!

My hope for you is that with each passing day, may the raw hurt fade a bit. As you cherish your sweet baby and hold him in your heart forever, may your love for him over power some of the emptiness that is within you. May you find some peace in knowing that there are many people who love Harry and will never forget him nor will they ever be the same since knowing him. Thank you for sharing Harry with me and letting me be a part of his life!

Dan & I have sure had a lot of fun with you guys. We love you and are so grateful for your friendship!
