Postby PKCSPT » Thu Dec 08, 2011 8:31 pm

I would like to share a Blog my daughter had done during her pregnancy.
We found out this summer her baby had Potters syndrome and she has shared her story with anyone who wants to read it.

http://mnmom4life.blogspot.com/2011/08/ ... sound.html

Very early this morning, in her words I quote "Was blessed with 35 precious minutes with our angel - Gabriel Ray 12/8/11 236am-311am. I couldn't be more thankful we were given this time to be with him. It was too short, went too fast, but we are so blessed to have gotten that brief and precious time. That memory will carry us through the rest of this journey. 4lbs 8oz, 17 inches long - absolutely perfect in almost everyway."

And she allowed us the grandparents and the aunts and uncles that were there to share in those few moments.

i just have no words really. i sat here reading the blog and had tears of sadness, and some tears of joy that your daughter got those 35 mins with her angel.

god bless you and your family during this time.

Thank you for sharing that -

It seems backwards that a parent loses a child. My second son would be 23 years old in Feb - but we celebrate his brief life with us everyday.

Hold on to the minutes you had and cherish each one.

Thank you. The last week leading up to Gabriel's birth has been the toughest. I wanted so badly to stop the train and get my daughter and her husband off but it kept running me over. The little guy taught our family a lot and we are glad to have had him for such a brief time

There is no doubt in my mind that your family will be eternally blessed for bringing Gabriel Ray into this world and loving him unconditionally for the time that he was here. It is my belief that infants who pass on are the chosen sons and daughters of God and are uniquely special to Him. Thank you for sharing your story. Our prayers are with you and yours.
