One year ago, I held my baby in my arms for the last time as she took her last breathe. EmmaGrace’s short life has taught me so much. 

Because of EmmaGrace, I saw that positive pregnancy test for the first time in my life. 

Because of EmmaGrace, I got to share the joy of announcing pregnancy to my sweet husband.

Because of EmmaGrace, we got to share the news with our families after 14 years of not being able to conceive. 

Because of EmmaGrace, we got to tell the boys that they were going to have a baby sister.

Because of EmmaGrace, we got to share her gender with our friends and family and have a gender reveal party, which we thought would never happen. 

Because of EmmaGrace, I got to have a baby shower, something I always looked forward to having. 

Because of EmmaGrace, I got to experience a growing belly and feel her precious kicks, oh those precious kicks!

Because of EmmaGrace, I got to experience labor and give birth, what an absolute joy! 

Because of EmmaGrace, I held a little Saint and watched her grow for 6 months and 10 days.

She made us better people. EmmaGrace changed us for the good. We are proud she is ours and we are one year closer to seeing her again. So thankful for God’s mercy and for helping us to grow closer to each other and to Him because ultimately our goal is to see Him and of course, our sweet girl again in Heaven.
