She was here. Perfectly formed, our beautiful little girl. Ready to bring us so much joy.
I grieve not knowing her alive. To have never been able to see her little hand close around mine, or to know the life that was in her before it left all too suddenly inside me. I think that is the hardest part. Looking at her pictures and just wondering who she would have been...
I start to think about other children. In that same thought I grieve deeply, because we will never know Cara like we will know them. We shouldn't even be thinking about more kids right now. We should be the anxious first parents just trying to make it through the first year.
She was here and gone too quickly.

Our cries for the daughter who came into the world silently but spoke volumes into our lives
The Story of Cara Grace
Cara Grace
March 18 (38.5 weeks)
5 lbs, 15 ounces, 19 inches
Cara Grace was a completely healthy little girl born silently into this world 10 days before her due date. We experienced the ideal pregnancy without a single known risk factor. It was only after her death that a treatable blood condition was diagnosed.
We grieve not having her here with us every day. She was our firstborn, our only child, the joy of our life.
We take comfort in knowing Cara is with God, but we do not believe that her death was part of some big plan. Death, sickness, brokenness, they are all contrary to the original design of life. We take hope that a day is coming when all will be redeemed and life in its fullness will be restored.
Until then we wait with joyful anticipation for the day when we will once again see our baby girl...
