A HUGE THANK YOU

We have received so much help and Hope has received so many presents from so many people and I really wish I could find the time to get cards out to everyone.  I will one day...I just know it.  I want to thank everyone for all of their kindness, good wishes, and presents for Hope and for our entire family.  I want to especially thank a wonderful friend that I made while we were both awaiting the birth of our beautiful daughters.  Lisette is an amazing woman and has endured so much in such a short amount of time.  Our paths crossed because we were both given very grim diagnosis' for our daughters and were able to share a lot of the same feelings throughout our pregnancies.  It was a very difficult time in both of our lives, but I think we both grew a lot emotionally and spiritually.  Unfortunately, Lisette's little girl, Sami, did not survive very long after she was born.  I was and still am an emotional wreck when I think about this because she was born after Hope and I prayed like crazy that she would be spared as well.  I had convinced myself that if Hope made it, Sami would too.  Through everything Lisette has been a huge support for me and imagine my surprise the other day when I get a big box in the mail.  Lisette sent me some very special presents and I am so grateful for the presents and for having the chance to meet such a wonderful woman.  I can't imagine everything Lisette has gone through and then finding the energy to send Hope and our family presents.  I am speechless thinking about it right now.
