Recollections

Wow I haven't been here since this was started. Our baby, Sophie Grace didn't survive. She lived for 18 days but couldn't hold on. Just too many things to overcome. Too many things for a child to face in this world. I witnessed her struggle to survive against the odds. It was difficult for her from the very beginning. I will try to recall the events that happened and write them down here. This is difficult for me as I'm weeping now. I wrote down some notes when this occurred and I will try to post them here later. When I opened this blog I had planned to record the events as they occurred for others to see and find solace if this happened in their lives, but those events didn't afford the luxury of time for this record. Then, I was consumed by what was going on.

In this retrospective there's a void in our family that should be filled right now by an almost four-year old, but we have continued on in this world. There is a well of grief for her that changed our lives, and is still there under examination.
Maybe it would be better to try to forget this whole thing.
