he is because she is

Such a strange and unbelievably hard concept to wrap ones mind around.

4 years ago today we welcomed our sweet baby girl Olivia Grace into the world 17 weeks premature. 30 minutes later we watched her take her last breath and placed her into the arms of our Heavenly Father.

Today 4 years later we have a precious little boy with our last name. We would have never known him had it not been for her coming and going. Some make a lasting impression with just a moment of life. Hers was him. He is our lasting impression of our baby girl Olivia Grace.





Of course there were two more of our children that came and went that confirmed that we would indeed go this route to be parents but she lead the path.

Happy Birthday sweet girl. WE love you and miss you so much.
