Bittersweet

“When life is sweet, say thank you and celebrate. And when life is bitter, say thank you and grow.”
Shauna Niequist, Bittersweet

If I could pick one word to describe the last twelve days, it would be bittersweet. Sweet that we got to spend 9 days with our precious daughter, holding and loving on her every second we could. And bitter because she was taken from us all too soon {in our opinion}, after she wasn't able to breathe on her own. There are a lot of emotions we are feeling, but mostly I feel sad. Oh what I wouldn't give to hold her in our arms again and see those beautiful brown eyes looking up at me...

Please bear with us as we grieve & process what this new future looks like and if you're the praying type, send one up for us & our families.

  4. Meaghan! I saw your pictures on Instagram and had no idea what your precious family was facing when Charlotte was born. I AM most definitely the praying type and will be lifting you and your husband up as you remember your precious daughter. I am so sorry for your loss.
