We can not thank you enough for considering making a contribution in her memory. The NICU was our home away from home and we know how much they will benefit from any money raised.
As for us, I keep telling myself to put one foot in front of the other. The trouble with that philosophy is first you have to get yourself back on your feet to begin with. I suppose that will take time and work on our parts. We will never again be the people we were before Natalie and now we need to figure out who exactly we are without her.
We appreciate your continued thoughts and prayers. This is of course a very difficult time for our family and we do appreciate all the ways you've reached out to us.

ReplyDeleteNatalie was one incredible little girl-what a fight she put up for the time that her family was blessed with her. Your story touched my heart and I haven't stopped thinking of your little girl. I know (and will never forget) Natalie.
ReplyDeleteI think about Natalie and your family everyday. I can not even begin to imagine how much you all hurt :(
ReplyDeletePlease know that she will never be forgotten.
I know Natalie and am so glad that that I do

ReplyDeleteI followed your postings on inspire.com. I am terribly sorry for your loss. Your story brought tears to my eyes and I have not stopped thinking about Natalie. May you find peace and comfort in the days ahead. My thoughts are with you and your family during this incredibly difficult time.
ReplyDeleteI saw your blog link on BBC and had to take a peek. Your little Natalie is such a beautiful little angel. I lost my son on Thanksgiving of last year and I have to tell you, I'm a little jealous you got 6 months with her! I know you do and always will cherish those months will her. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.
