For ...I am currently pregnant with my 3rd daughter. For many months the name "Poppy Joy" has been on my heart for her (unfortunately I am still trying to convince my husband!!). Today I googled the name and came across your blog and as I read of your precious Poppy's journey, the tears streamed down. I am so very glad you got to meet her and to hold her and I am so glad you have the peace of Jesus knowing that she is of course with Him in Heaven. <br />My first child - Sophia Grace - was stillborn in 2009. Perhaps they are friends up there.<br />Sending you much love all these years later and know that your little Poppy Joy is still touching lives.Cazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11612645274970749043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468488378337028467.post-66506328149240862942010-08-10T16:08:40.153-05:002010-08-10T16:08:40.153-05:00I've discovered your wonderful story only now ...I've discovered your wonderful story only now after many years, but I would like to thank you for the love you are able to feel..<br />Poppy is a preciuos gift, and I hope to be able to be as generous as you when God gives me the possibility to be mother..<br />I pray for you from Italy<br />With love <br />AliceUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12285357632794775244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468488378337028467.post-13942300508544584022009-11-30T18:12:21.490-06:002009-11-30T18:12:21.490-06:00Thinking of you today and tomorrow... :) Thank you...Thinking of you today and tomorrow... :) Thank you again for sharing Poppy with us.Rebecca (Ramblings by Reba)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17104664228769032430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468488378337028467.post-66442650963850106292009-06-25T13:44:13.978-05:002009-06-25T13:44:13.978-05:00I can understand, in a way, how this was -- my aun...I can understand, in a way, how this was -- my aunt had a baby with Trisomy 18 who lived for 9 hours.

The time following is going to be difficult with joy mixed in. <BR/>We are thankful to see our baby boy and you especially spending some time with her when she was alive. Jonathan was not alive but we got some pictures and keepsakes so the girls can remember their brother and us our son. <BR/><BR/>It has been a hard month for us. We are thankful to the Lord for everything. Even this wonderful gift of our only son who is no longer with us. We have confidence we see him once again. <BR/><BR/>However this grief has been different than we have expected. Although Jonathan is with the Lord and is cured from T18. It is a huge loss. But I know the Lord will see you through this as he has us. We are here for you if you need someone to talk to. <BR/><BR/>Yours in Christ,<BR/>Jared and Kristin EdwardsJared, Kristin, Deanna, Avery, and Adam Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16380810301586694913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468488378337028467.post-38297153474600372512007-12-02T20:38:00.000-06:002007-12-02T20:38:00.000-06:00Thank you for giving us this glimpse into your liv...Thank you for giving us this glimpse into your lives during such a bittersweet time.
