Here we are

February 27th, 2008

I don’t know what to write, other than we are besides ourselves with sadness.  I delivered the babies last night, James at 9:43 p.m. and Jake at 9:55 p.m.  The identical twins brothers were created together, delivered together and died together.  Every bit of them was perfect.   What caused their death seems to have something to do with an umbilical cord.

We, of course, are so very sad, but please let me take a moment to thank EACH AND EVERYONE of you for your thoughts, prayers and comments.  Your words of encouragement and prayers have helped not just Brian and myself, but every member of our entire family and our friends who are grieving right beside us.  Thank you for taking the time to show us how much you care.

Please pray for our strength

    I stumbled onto this blog a few weeks ago. I’m so sorry for your loss. Jake and James were clearly well loved.

    Beth – I think we might have different spiritual beliefs, but if it gives you any comfort, I truly believe in my heart that those little souls will be with you one way or another. You and your family are in my thoughts every day. Sending you love and strength.

    I didn’t comment on your sister’s post because it seemed like if I commented then it became real. I was so stunned that part of me hoped it was a mistake. We have been trying for a while to get pregnant. When you announced you were pregnant I was excited for you and I’ve enjoyed living vicariously through you.
    All I can say is that I am so sorry this happened. I have been thinking about you and praying for you and your family.

    Oh gosh, what a picture. I’m so glad that last night is behind you and you can grieve and have peace. My heart is so broken for you guys, I’ve not been able to sleep, up at all hours praying for you…for strength, peace, understanding. Hope. Thank you so much for being strong enough to come here and let us all know the latest. You are incredible, and I have no doubt you will get through this.

    Love,

    I am SO sorry.
    I read on another blog a long time ago that there is a Buddhist (I think) belief that when a baby dies before birth, he or she is a person in their final reincarnation of life who need to be loved one last time. You and your family were able to give that to your 2 babies.
