Cherish your little ones....

The photographer who took Eli's pictures, Abundant Moments, also works for an organization called Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep. It's an organization that takes pictures of infants who have passed away. Their website is amazing and they have pictures and stories about the babies they have photographed. I have sat here for the last 10 minutes bawling my eyes out over these stories and pictures. All I can say is cherish your little ones as each day is a gift. I'm going to go kiss and hug Eli right now, even though he is asleep, as each day is a blessing. Take a look at the site as it is truly an amazing experience.....I feel so blessed....

Oh Amy. We have so much to be thankful for. I know people over the years who have lost a child for different reasons. This is the worst loss and hurt there is. I looked at the pictures and I cried my eyes out and have a great deal of empathy and sympathy for all those who have lost a child,a child of any age as well as an infant. Some things you never get over. I know my dad lost two sisters at very young ages and understandably it was devastating to the whole family. My Grandmother was never the same. Sorry to be so bleak. Life can be so unfair. I keep these people in my prayers.

I think that's great and it must do a lot to help with the grieving process....though I feel about 60% touched and 40% weirded out
