Reese Catherine ~ 8.11.09 - 8.13.09

The last few days have been a whirlwind. Saying "thank you" for all of your prayers, calls, emails, and visits will never be sufficient, but that's all we have. Our hearts are full of gratefulness.

Reese went to be with the LORD tonight. She is alive, well, and healthy with Jesus. As painful as it is to accept, we are glad she's home - free from tubes, cords, and machines.

A few sweet pics from today ~

Reese with her red bow. Of course that is her favorite color just like mine. ; )

Sweet Daddy & Reese

Jason amazes me. I am so proud of him and wouldn't know what I would do without him.

Our amazing photographer came back to be with us tonight to take some pictures of Reese without any tubes on her body. The nurse let me dress her! So precious. Zach was wonderful with her and even kissed Reese on her head several times. I can't wait to get my hands on those pictures.


Little lady

All ready. ; )

GOD was so good to let us be with Reese as she went to be with Him. We are home now and taking life minute by minute. Please know that your prayers carry and cover us.

Katie,
I am not sure if you will even remember me, but we were DDD at Baylor together. I saw your beautiful picture on Kelly Brown's blog the other day and began praying for you and your sweet family. It is with tears streaming down my face that I am reading your blog tonight. Your sweet baby girl is BEAUTIFUL, just like her mommy!! I am so glad that you had sweet moments together and I pray that those sustain you over the next minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years. You will continue to be in my prayers. May the Lord bring you comfort, peace, and rest!
Lots of Love,
Stephanie Blanchette Bowlin

My prayers are with your family. Reese is beautiful. I know heaven is a little sweeter for you now with her there waiting on you. Our baby girl went to be with the Lord a little over 2 years ago. Not a day goes by that I don't long for the day we meet again.

JEN said...

I am so sorry, mama. Our 2nd daughter was stillborn @ 41w in 2007, and I know that words are insufficient, but His grace is not.

A link for you, my daughter's ballet teacher dancing to "Held" by Natalie Grant, which is a song of child loss and God's goodness, and my daughter has a little cameo at the end, to honor her little sister.

I found this blog through another blog. I saw where you mentioned your loss so I found this entry. I have tears just falling. I cant even begin to imagine feeling your emotions through this but your strength in God absolutely blows me away.

I don't even know you but my heart and prayers go out to you tonight.
