What's this about?

I am Shannon and my husband is Chris. This is a place to share and process struggles related to miscarriages, eating disorders, and Shannon's struggle with sexual abuse. We have found that joy, exempt of Christ, is often bittersweet in this life. We look forward to heaven where sweetness will abound and bitterness will be gone.

To my babies

Samantha,

My sweet baby. The one I felt I knew the best. I still miss you so much. I envision you giving Jesus lots of hugs, being boisterous and sweet, and holding the hands of your brothers. Know how much I love you. I am so sorry that I didn't want you at first. It wasn't you. It was me. I was scared. I love you more than words can say. You were the baby that set my heart on fire as a mom. When I saw your tiny frame and the thump of your heartbeat was inside of me, something inside of me changed forever. I love you, Samantha Peep. You've flown to Jesus and I can't wait to meet you.

Dominic,

We loved you. We knew you were there without a doubt and we missed you terribly when you were gone. You were the blink of an eye. But I feel a lifetime of love toward you. You are still our baby. Love on Noah and enjoy spending lots of time with Jesus. Dominic, Munchkin, you were our little guy! We were so excited and thought that God had given us you but instead you got the best deal. You got Jesus and no more sinful world! We will have eternity ahead of us to spend together....I can't wait.

Noah,

Lovebug, you were so loved. We felt such love and depth for you in the four days we knew about you. A Wednesday through Saturday of depth....I knew that Jesus might take you and I knew that you'd be safe in His hands but I still was heartbroken. I had already started to look ahead to September of 2011 when I would get to hold you and love you. We thought you were our rainbow baby but God had other plans. We still love you so....so much. Samantha and Dominic are there with you. We so look forward to our reunion.

Babies,
We love each of you so much. We wish so badly that we could have had you to hold here but we know that we'll hold you in heaven and death will no longer sting.

Squeeze Jesus tight. He's the best.

~Shannon
