Happy Angelversary my sweet baby Francis. We survived the first year, I guess if we can do that we can do anything. I am so grateful for the gift of the new life inside of me making this week a tiny bit easier. This past year has had so many emotions in it and the grief that we have felt is so unlike any grief I have ever felt before. Noone should feel this pain, its heart wrenching. Today you would have been 1. Every parent is so excited about that first birthday, today I just ask for peace and the comfort to be with family and friends. Today I know my rainbow baby will be with me. I will be thinking of you and thinking of the 9 months of joy that you brought to me. I thank you so much for that short time, I wouldn’t give that time up for anything. Our family has changed because of you, with so much love and strength we owe so much to you. We have found friends all across the country that care about us. Our local friends have become our family and we are bound together because of you. The rainbow that we saw a week after you past kept us going and has brought so much meaning in our lives. There is not a day that goes by that your sister doesn’t talk about rainbows. You are with us baby every second of every day. I love you so much baby, many kisses and hugs are sent up to you today.
I’m sending you all my Love today Francis, and remembering the short amount of time I held you in m arms. I miss You.

I have no words, Carrie, but I love you and am thinking of your whole family. May you find peace and strength.

Carrie, I’m thinking of Francis today and all the lives his story has touched. I am also thinking about you and your family and the amazing strength you have all shown in the past year. You are all truly inspiring. What a beautiful post you have written today. I’m sending you extra special thoughts today. Denise
You have been in my thoughts and prayers all day. You know how to get ahold of me if you need me.
Carrie–I was on yesterday, and just did not get back to post. I thought of you and Francis often yesterday, and I just wanted you to know how much of an impression your love for Francis (and his brother and sister and dad’s love for him) made on me. He has touched us all! Cristina
I’m glad that you were able to find peace in the day ….thinking od you ((HUGS))
HUGS!
Carrie and Arnie, if I could take your pain and carry it on my back – I would. Time heals but time also hurts. I love you both.
