Brett's brother & his wife had a beautiful baby girl this past Monday. Unfortunately, she wasn't able to be on this earth for long, & now she is in heaven.
My heart has been heavy since I heard the news. Since I have been through a loss similar to this, I have a perspective that most people will never have. I don't mourn for baby Hadlee. She's a special spirit, just like our Kobe, and I find it comforting to know that these babies only needed a short time here on earth...that's how special they are! I'm sad for her parents. Sad that they had to say good-bye so soon. Sad that they have to plan a 'funeral'. Sad that they have to put all their baby stuff away. Sad that the next several months/years will be filled with a lot of heartache. I'm just so sad that they have to experience such a great trial.
Mckay & Amanda are strong. They will get through this. I could tell them that the pain will lessen as times goes by. And that they will eventually be able to think about Hadlee and feel more joy that she is theirs, rather than pain that she is not with them at the moment. I could tell them so much of what I learned through losing a child....but I remember when words couldn't take away any of the pain that I felt. So for now I will say:
"We love you Mckay & Amanda. We love your sweet baby Hadlee. Imagine the joy you will have when this life is over & you know that your baby is waiting for you. She doesn't have to experience the pain & sickness of this life. You are the parents of a perfect, pure angel."

Thanks for all the love and support!
She is a very special spirit and happy we get to be the parents of such a wonderful heavenly child!
That is so sad. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
OH my heart aches for them! I'm glad they at least have you to empathize with them. I cannot even imagine...
That is so sad and our thoughts and prayers are with them as well. It will be good to have you guys to help them through this.
Kim, I have been trying to think of the way to word something for our blog. You couldn't have said it better. I am grateful for the family I married into. I look up to you for all that you have gone through and continue to go through. I can't wait to meet Kobe and Hadlee!
That is so sad! I can't even imagine! We will keep them in our prayers!
well said Kim. I knew you'd be able to share your thoughts much better than I could.
I am grateful I got to meet Kobe before he returned to heaven. I told Kennedy yesterday she had two special cousins in heaven.
We love you guys and look forward to meeting baby boy Jones soon!
What a coincidence, Scott's cousin just had a baby last night and it passed away the same night. So sad. I could not even imagine what that would feel like.
