A good friend of mine is in the NICU right now with her beautiful baby girl, Hazel. She needs kind words and encouragement as her daughter's doctor has all but given up on this entire family. Please, give her blog a read and comment if you can. She is in a dark place and this NICU Journey is scary and discouraging. Please, if any of you can give her kind words, prayers, thoughts, whatever you see fit, please do so.

Life: three years later.
Life has been a roller coaster of substantial amounts of tears, broken hearts, uncontrollable emotion, as well as inexplicable joy, happiness, and love. Our hearts have shattered over the loss of our sweet Audrianna, and that pain will never be forgotten, nor should it ever be forgotten. The tears still come and some days I don't want to get out of bed, but I have to, because I have other children that need me. We have fought hard to remain in our amazing, healthy relationship, that, in most circumstances after the death of child, fall apart because there is lack of romance. Aaron and I have remained together after the terrible loss we suffered and learned to live, not just for us, but for our children before our loss, as well as our newest addition, Charlotte, and because Audrianna would not want us to suffer apart, because believe it or not, we need one another. The amount of support we have for one another is outstanding.
Our Charlotte recently turned 1, she's a walking, babbling, and often talking tornado of giggles, smiles, and very few tears. We bought a house, and it's insane how fast life has moved forward. Aaron and I are less than 2 months from our wedding day and things are finally coming together for us as a family.
We introduced Charlotte to Audrianna her birthday last year, and this year, just days away from our wedding we will release more lanterns for our butterfly girl, and we'll read her a story I wasn't ready for last year. I'm probably not ready for this story this year, but we celebrate Audrianna every year and Charlotte should know why. Charlotte deserves to know who her sister is and to know that she will be with her everywhere she goes.
