Thanks be to...
Tara who was/is an emotional support to me through all of this. Also for all the professional pictures, hand/foot prints and hand/foot molds. All priceless treasures.
Our birth team and Andaluz Waterbirth Center for doing a great job and handling everything so well. Also for the massage and therapeutic listening.
Our church for stepping in with meals, love, kind words, prayers.
Our family for coming in to help us with Joshua and Toby; cleaning and meals. The time that you spent with the little boys helped ease their pain. I know it wasn't easy and that there has been some regression on their part, but know that this is their way of adjusting to this tragic time for them (their hearts are broken).
Our friends and extended family for flowers, cards, books, beautiful gifts of remembrance; and also love support, kind words, poems, prayers, compassion, tears. Thank you to all who were able to attend the viewing and/or the funeral in Utah, also the open house we had in Oregon.
Our kind neighbors who have shown their concern and support.
Brent, who has cried with me and held me and talked with me and rejoiced with me. Thank you for a joyful and serene 10th anniversary celebration in the midst of all of this. Thank you for all that we have learned together. Thank you for your promises.
The Lord and Savior for all of His compassion, comfort and 'tender mercies.'

Dear Counselor Troi-
I am hoping you remember me. I am Winnie an old Brighton Camp friend, and although we didn't work together our paths crossed enough to know one another. (You came to my house for a play date before you left for OR). I just had to leave a little note and let you know my tears and prayers are with you. We too lost an infant just over a year ago, and reading your blog has brought back so many of those familiar feelings we have for our sweet little Weston who has led the way for our future lives. It is truly hard to put into words what an incredible experience it is to loose a child. It is heartbreaking yet so spiritual. What amazing spirits these little babies must have, and although it can be so difficult, how blessed we are to have the gospel of Jesus Christ in our lives and to know that through Him we will get to be with these little ones again. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you during this time and know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Much love,
Winnie (Jill Gibby)
