To Write their Names in the Sand

I have found a beautiful website, and I am so thankful for what they do. If you click here: http://namesinthesand.blogspot.com/ you will be taken to their homepage, and if you click here: http://namesinthesand.blogspot.com/2009/07/reagan-joy.html you will be taken to what they did for Reagan. (you can also search in the upper left corner of their blog, for "Reagan Joy"). Isn't it beautiful? I am so thankful for little things like this that confirm for me that my little girl lived, that someone cared enough to do something for just her, and that we can hold onto the image of her name.

I requested the same thing for little Sadie Grace, so if you do the same and search for her name, you'll see the beautiful photo in her honor. (I love you, Kerry!)

Sadly, this site is also a potent reminder of how many families are hurting from the loss of their babies. I'm thankful for the way it makes me feel like I'm not alone, but I'm sad for the other hurting families. But, thanks to Carly's service with this site, there is a way to specifically pray for the moms, dads, sisters, brothers, and friends who are missing a little one right now. Won't you join me in praying for them, and honoring their children?

    I found you tonight through the blog Grace...in Heaven on the most recent post about Grayson. I don't believe in coincidence, but I clicked on your comment and found myself here. Our daughter Olivia's name was just Written in the Sand recently as well, I just haven't had the chance to post about it yet. Like your precious Reagan, she too was went to Heaven too soon from T18. We, however, only had time with her in the womb; she was stillborn at 28 weeks. That was only 6 weeks ago.

    I am so sorry for your loss of Reagan Joy. What a beautiful name you chose. Sorry for words 'Trisomy 18' in our vocabularies. Pained for all the names that have been written in the sand, knowing that those were someone else's beloved children. Yes. A very potent reminder.

    Marceline and Dan,

    Reagan's name in the sand--just beautiful.

    I am thinking of you with loving thoughts, and you are always in my prayers.

    Love,
