How blessed you are to have a friend like Tiffany.<BR/><BR/>Hearing your birth story brings back so many memories of first learning of my son's diagnosis, a pain like no other. A pain, amazingly and beautifully, lessened by just being with the very child who has the diagnosis.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09057578956144840305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331423483971283964.post-8361716823224897752008-10-13T11:01:00.000-06:002008-10-13T11:01:00.000-06:00I am sobbing.

Having a daughter born "imperfect" is scary at first, but the blessings are incredible; especially realizing your baby is more than "perfect." <BR/>This hits very close to home for me (as you can understand) and I truly feel the same way about my Myah. Thank you for the beautiful reminder!<BR/><BR/>By the way, the poem is the sweetest thing I've ever read. Do you think I could keep a copy of it. It reminds me of someone I know:)Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07523343485442365557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331423483971283964.post-77737130580692168192008-10-12T15:43:00.000-06:002008-10-12T15:43:00.000-06:00Heather, What a Beautiful story of Morgan's birth,...Heather, What a Beautiful story of Morgan's birth, I remember you calling me the day she was born and sharing that story with me. and I am as touched today as I was that day. your strength and love are as amazing as you are.kellyclayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06467564812500700466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331423483971283964.post-90437694896193534312008-10-09T11:51:00.000-06:002008-10-09T11:51:00.000-06:00That was beautiful, I read it all through tears!

(If you don't mind, just be sure to include her name) And you are right--it was such a huge gift to be given. She wrote it when Morgan was only a few days and it helped me so much. It really has been something that I have treasured. Originally this post was going to just be the poem and a picture of Morgan but then I wanted to explain why the poem meant so much to me. Especially the part that says 'for there were heavenly angels that stayed with her through her birth'. So it ended up with the whole birth story and emotions that went with it.heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01061626477737855499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331423483971283964.post-29112180455291231982008-10-07T08:46:00.000-06:002008-10-07T08:46:00.000-06:00What a great story-it mkaes me cry because it hits...What a great story-it mkaes me cry because it hits so close to home!

What an amazing poem for Morgan - I have never seen that before. Thanks for sharing and being those special people that would realize the special gift that Morgan is and love and treasure her. We love her too and feel blessed that she is in our lives.Heidi Rushinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04875541949711183194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331423483971283964.post-42396414527487464192008-10-06T17:55:00.000-06:002008-10-06T17:55:00.000-06:00What a wonderful story.

I remember this time very well. I remember seeing the strength that You and Gavin had and just being amazed.
