My sister, over two years ago, lost her baby girl at 5 months conception. I was there to support her through this time. We heard her heartbeat just minutes before she was born, yet life had passed by the time she was conceived into the world. They prepared her in the same way they would of if infact she was still alive and breathing. I remember this day so vividly, her name, Mariah.

A year forward exactly, she gave birth to my niece. She was born the exact day Mariah was born and had ceased. I believe if a moment comes and the proper elements do not exist, for whatever reason, the moment may leave or be on hold only to arrive at a better time. I have always liked to think of this as being the situation and the birth of my 2 year old niece today.

Death is never easy to face, nor is it easy to understand. I just got news that the child I have grown close with (age 5), who may not survive, nor is she expected to. Miracles exist everyday. Her mother is at full-term and the due date was this past Saturday. The MD's have talked about the possibilities of setting up the room for her mother to give birth to her brother, which she has already named. I just got word that they are setting the room up now, at this very moment.

Who knows what will happen or will be, who knows why her strength is unmeasurable, who knows what she may or may not be waiting for. Who knows? Only she and the universe. This is taking place now and she will get to meet her baby brother.

Through tremendous, unexplainable pain, life always remains amazing.

Wonderful statement of hope.

I pray for the best for all parties mentioned.

The Medical team have no explaination to how or why she is still here. To allow birth of her brother in the same room where she is vented, is heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. All of this is taking place away from their hometown and they are making careful accomodations for the entire family.

I sit here in wonder as the family text me about this moment that is so full of valid, undescribable emotions.

My breath is taken away.

It is indeed amazing ....the beauty that can be found

I just got goosebumps these things give you hope.
