Anna

Andy

We lost our baby “Anna” yesterday. She was born on October 24th at 5:12pm—a mere 21 weeks into Tiffany’s pregnancy. She weighed just 10 ounces. She was 9 and a half inches long. We never got to hold her in our hands, but we will forever hold her in our heart.

Andy and Tiffany, I apologize for not “visiting” your wonderful website more, I can only say I have had my Own Pitty Potty lately. That’s no excuse. Your website is wonderful, and so inspirational and my own tears are so free flowing now for the wonderful comments you both make about your life. You are such an inspiration to me. I will visit YOU more. I promise. God bless, Aunt Katherine

My heart hurts for you! I can’t imagine what you must be feeling right now. No matter what it is…feel how you feel and know that you have the rest of the Body of Christ to lean on. That’s what we’re here for. Thank you for sharing. You will be in my prayers – little Caleb too!

I’m so sorry!

My favorite sister (she’s everybody’s) just related to me the distressful news of Anna. What a terrible shock for such a wonderful, humbly compassionate family.

I hope to see you before the end of the year to express my feelings in person.

I’m deeply saddened by your loss. My wife and I lost our son Kip 3 years ago (stillborn). May your family and friends help you through your time of need.

So very, very sorry. Same thing happened to us at 35 weeks.

Have you seen this:

Beautiul and comforting, but have tissues.

I’m terribly sorry that I didnt’ see this before now. I can’t say I know how you feel, but it must be awful. I’m sure you understand that you’ll see her again, and rest assured that I’ll pray for you as you suffer your loss.

Micah

I’m so very sorry. My heart is broken for you. I know God will heal your wounds in time. Lean on Him for your support.

I think this is very nice. I’m so glad to see others not forget the precious life that you had for that brief period. I thought it was especially touching that you left the small tribute even on your About page.

We lost our son Obadiah two years ago quite similarly and I wrote some rather long diatribes and tributes on my blog. Perhaps it’s been part of the healing process (to write) but I also feel the need to tell others at times, along with keeping some kind of memory (outside the graveyard) for him. Might seem silly to some, I suppose. After all, not sure a digital electronic blog is a fitting memorial, but I look at it as just one place among many (hopefully) where I can remember.

That had to be a very heart-wrenching, punched in the gut type feeling. Obadiah was our seventh and I often have thought that if we didn’t have our other six chillin’s before him that I don’t think I would have made it. I can’t imagine what it would be like to have to go through that first… but I’m thrilled to see that God has blessed you. I’m sure you two are especially great parents because you realize, more than most perhaps, the great treasure and responsibility of raising the children that followed.

Thank you for keeping this up and sharing. (P.S. I found you via Godbit – so this was just a coincidence. I’m a web guy, too).
