Beautiful. Simply Beautiful.

Through our busy times (and as many of you know, newborn babies ARE a lot of work but oh so yummy and cute!) I still wonder what Lilly and Ryker are thinking of everything. I know they love their little brother and watch closely over him. But I am always thinking: what would our life be like if we had NOT lost Lilly and Ryker? We would not have our sweet C, we would not know the pains of loss and the pains of childlessness, and would not be able to empathize and understand the true miracle that babies are. There are a couple of really awesome people that live across the world. They have experienced the pains of losing a child, but yet, they step outside of themselves and do something more for others, who have suffered losses too. Here are their tributes to our angels:

I love these, and have been waiting to share them. These were done along the Australian Coast. They are simply beautiful, just like our angels. We miss Lilly and Ryker everyday. There is not a day that goes by that we do not think about them and miss their cute little butts!!! Our sweet C does buffer that pain, as our arms do not ache like they did, just a short while ago. So today, Lilly and Ryker, we honor you. We are grateful for eternal families and can not WAIT to have C sealed to us for time and all eternity!

  1. Just earlier this week my mom was telling me about the amazing people who do this... the writing in the sand. My mom was saying we should do it for Mercydez. I love it. And you are right... it is simply beautiful.

  4. I'm Ashley Haws' mom. The sand pictures are amazing! And "C" is absolutely handsome! (I would say gorgeous, but that might offend the males out there - not manly enough!) Congratulations on your little boy. I'm so happy for you!
