Thank you

To be honest I did not really want a donation page. I still don’t like it. If we had a healthy baby, a baby that we got to keep, we would not have a WeCare page. This fact makes it hard for me to even visit the page, to see and think about all the wonderful, great people who donated. This experience has been devastating, overwhelming and humbling. All of these emotions do not take from the immense burden that has been lifted. We are beyond grateful and thankful. It is an amazing gift. As painful as this experience is, these is comfort and joy knowing God will take care of us, that people near and far, close friends, loving family and strangers will take care of us. I am forever humbled and grateful. Thank you to all who donated and lifted this burden. Thank you for taking care of us.

Also…thank you for the prayers, messages, cards, dinners, gifts, flowers. For the support, texts and emails, phone calls. 

Thank you to my sister for being a perfect Aunt to Alexander and for the love and support throughout this journey. Thank you to our family for being there for Alexander’s birthday, for singing happy birthday, for holding him so gently and having so much love for him, for supporting and loving us so much. 

Thank you to my girlfriends for caring so much for me, for listening so intently to all of my memories. It meant so much to share Alexander’s photo album with you. Thank you also for your sweet gifts and for helping me laugh, for giving me a respite from grief and for reminding me that day by day I will feel more like myself.

Thank you to the kind, gentle nurses and doctors who took care of us in the hospital, the OB in Naples who shared her story of loss, who prayed over me before I left Florida. Thank you to the amazing psychologist at CHOP who dramatically changed how we experienced this journey, the child life specialist at CHOP who left us with such special memories. Thank you to the photographers that donated their time and energy to give us some of the most special gifts of all. 

Above all thank you God for putting these people into our lives.
