faith.
tonite was a night i will never forget...we ate dinner. noodles. then i had a haircut to go to. got in the car, saw the red light blinking on my cell phone. 7 messages. one from a hospital. a family had requested services thru an oraganization i joined in january called now i lay me down to sleep www.nilmdts.org ... it's devastating. not sure if i should even really blog about it to be honest. but, it is life. it is out there. for parents who have a terminal infant or infant that is stillborn or passes away soon after birth- they can have a photographer come in and take pictures for them. the only professional pictures they will have of their infant. only if they ask for this service, the nurses call local photographers who have volunteered. i got the call. i prayed the whole way there. i prayed the whole time i was shooting. i prayed when i left. it was horrible. no words can describe. so horrifically sadenning..... i prayed the whole way home. faith. that's all there is in this world. it's faith.... that's really all we can hold onto. say one extra prayer tonite...i am.

Sara,
words can never thank you enough for the wonderful photographs of our little Alyssa. I cried while looking at every one of them. Thank you so very much for getting them on here so fast, It was not expected. When I got up this morning, well, I never slept, and looked at your sight, my morning became a little more bareable!! Alyssa will always remain in our hearts, and your pictures will help us always remember how beautiful she was, even though I only got to hold her in my arms a short time. Your a definatly an Angel sent to us, and you have made our grief a little easier. God bless you

Sara--
This was the night Emily prayed for special blessings for you!! As a child herself, she must have had a special connection to the situation. I think that's aweseome you volunteer to do that. Faith indeed! You are God's instrument, shedding some light on a dark time!
See you soon!
Michelle :-)
