My dear friend Amy and her family are walking in honor of their daughter in the March for Babies, as I type this. Lydia Grace was born with a birth defect called anencephaly, she passed away the day she was born in December of last year.
Amy and I went to high school together – never in our wildest dreams did we think something so devastating would bring us even closer together.
What an amazing tribute to be walking in their beautiful daughter’s honor. Amy, Mike, Alex and Lora – I love you and am proud to be walking for Lydia tomorrow.
It does bring me comfort knowing our precious children are together right now, feeling all of the love for them here on earth.
Lydia’s Grace has raised over $4,000 – simply incredible.
This is an example of how necessary raising funds for the March of Babies is – many babies and their families need your help every single day. I hope you consider helping Team James & Jake reach their goal of $9,000 – we are so very close. If you’d like to give – click here.

Dear Beth,
As you begin your March in honor of Jake, James and Lydia… keep these powerful words of writer Laura Esquivel in mind:
“In the sacred traditions, the first thing you do in the morning is ask for blessings from the four elements – earth, air, fire, water. Because all of the work that you are going to do that day will change the universe.”
You, Beth… are changing the universe right along with your angels.
Much love,
Sharon

Funny — when I was watching our local news and they mentioned someone walking for their daughter Lydia, I immediately thought of your friend. Now, looking at the comments on her page, and knowing some of the people who gave money, I imagine that your friend must live in the same area that I do. Kudos to them for raising so much for such a wonderful cause!

Duh — I just looked at the top line of her blog, and now I realized that I apparently didn’t need to be such a detective to figure out where she lives.
Small world.
