People often ask what they can do to help. I usually say "nothing" or "just pray for strength and please, please do not forget my boys."
Never in a million years did I think I could experience a loss like we have. We never thought we would be the ones grieving, we never thought we would be the ones going to the funeral home to plan a memorial service. We only had visions of sleepless nights, blue blankies, and baby toys scattered across the living room floor. What we would give to have those sleepless nights and the messy floor.
But it did happen to us and the reality is, it could happen to you, your sister, your cousin, your best friend or your daughter, and I don’t want that. I will do what I can do try to stop others from experiencing this type of loss by raising money for the March of Dimes.
You all have helped me so much with your kind words of support through this blog, but now is when I need your help in helping me make a difference- you can help me by donating to the March for Babies. On April 27th, my family, friends and I will be walking six miles in honor of James and Jake, my dear friend’s daughter Lydia Grace, my niece, Grace and nephew, Jonathon, and ALL babies who left this beautiful earth too early or those that were born prematurely or with birth defects.
I can’t stand that I lost James and Jake and I’m going to do something about it. Walking on April 27th will not bring them back, but I will be comforted knowing I am doing what I can do make a difference. It is my hope that you will help me by donating.
**To everyone who has donated so far, we THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for honoring our boys with your donation. We are amazed and touched by your generosity. (click here to see our team’s outstanding progress.) ** My goal is $3,000 – I am almost there.
