Thank God for His wonderful promise and gift to us to be with Him and Allegra in heaven. <br /><br />I too lost a sweet baby girl to Trisomy 18. She passed away during delivery. Not a day goes by I don't think about how much I love her and how blessed I am to know Christ and be able to spend eternity with her. We spend a lot more time dead than we do alive, however I know that desire to be with her again immediately. Pray for patience and peace. We will not truly understand the reasonings, but as time goes on you will start to see answers from God if you stay close to Him. <br /><br />Praise God for the wonderful gifts He has blessed us with. <br /><br />Blessings to you and your family. <br /><br />-CraigCraig's Wordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03965384096442619683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752824672548277318.post-8432355050679710032011-06-21T16:55:20.193-04:002011-06-21T16:55:20.193-04:00Although you do not know me, I am a dear friend of...Although you do not know me, I am a dear friend of your mother.

I'm not sure why my heart hurts so much for the loss of a little girl I never even got to meet, but I definitely feel such sadness and loss for all of you right now. Through it all, though I am so grateful that God allowed you to have her for 4 wonderful weeks. I love a thought someone shared with Katie after she lost her baby - "The best way to feel Heaven in your home is to have someone from your home in Heaven". I know that Allegra will be aware of all of you as you go forward and she will be anxiously awaiting that promised glorious reunion. Meanwhile - my prayers and love are with all of you. Thank you for sharing your precious daughter's remarkable journey.

I know she lives on and that your reunion will be sweet someday. This trial we have witnessed is truly what the Gospel is about.
