Thank You!

Hi,

I just wanted to say thank you for all of the thoughts, prayers, messages, comments, cards, flowers, presents and visits over the last several months. At some point I will write individual thank you cards, but I wanted you all to know how much I appreciate all of your support.

Lily, William and I are doing well. Being in the NICU day after day isn't easy, but when I decided to become a mom it wasn't just for the good days...and I know the good days are coming. I could never have imagined the incredible feeling it gives me to be a mom; Lily gives me the strength to keep going. William has been amazing through all of this...as he grieves he is still able to support me. I am so lucky to have him; as my husband and the father of my children.

Right now it hurts so much. I will never stop missing Flora, but I hope that time will ease some of the pain. I will always wonder what could have been. I will always love both of my daughters, Lily and Flora.

Experciencing the greatest joy and sorrow of a life all at once is overwhelming. I could never have imagined the incredible feeling becoming a mother has given me. I love my husband and family with all of my heart, but this is a love that is indescribable. It is an amazing love and I am so blessed to be experiencing it.

Thank you all so much! Please keep praying for Lily. She is a brave and beautiful little girl...she'll steal your heart!

Our journey has begun!

Love,
Alicia
