Yes, it was long - but I am so glad that you did type it out. I just cannot find it in myself to put down in words everything that happened to me, but I will. It will likely be in pieces...

I am so sorry for all of your losses - for them all, I just cannot fathom or imagine. We, too, had many weird things said to us by well-meaning members of the church, incl a District President that said if they are stillborn, they don't count.

Our son, Sam, has Down syndrome - and he has been nothing but a sheer blessing in our lives. He is a child that was grown in our hearts and not my belly, but even by the words of his birth mother, I know that Sam was with us in the pre-existence and was meant for our family.

I am thrilled that you are here - and I am even more thrilled that you can share your pg with us as it develops. I am always happy when there is a baby to come, but even moreso when it is with a family who has already experienced a loss (or multiple losses). I guess in my heart, they really understand how precious life truly is.

I hope that you post often - it will be really nice to get to know you better.

[> [> Mary, your story is amazingly heartbreaking, yet inspiring as well. -- lynece, 13:08:43 10/04/03 Sat

I'm so glad we get the chance to know you. Your strength is incredible and your faith and testimony are so strong. I am so sorry for all of your losses and thrilled for the newest spirit waiting to join your family. You've proabably already read my "story", but if not, just click on the archive 1 link and it is there. I cheat and just cut and paste it because it is too painful to type out again.

Thank you for sharing with us.
Love, Lynece
