Today I cried for thirty glorious minutes.
That is the amount of time it took me to look at all 169 photos we received from our Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep photographer. I never thought I would be able to have a complete stranger in the room with me at such a vulnerable time and in such a vulnerable position. I will never forget the moment she walked into our hospital room. It was a moment of confusion. She was not the person we were even expecting. Literally. I knew she was meant for us as I watched her walk to the spot where she took her very first picture. The dry erase board.
Video was not needed. She used her camera to tell our story....to capture the day to perfection. We made beautiful memories that day and Karen captured them.
A heart that defied the odds and beat for 55 minutes after birth. Palmer blessed us with a short time on earth, but his ripple continues through tissue donation. This is a blog from a mothers perspective on life, love and faith.
