{I uploaded a video two years ago explaining this day on the calendar that I wanted to share again.

Take a moment to watch both videos as my heart swells today in memory of sweet Willow.}

 

3 year and 4 months ... wow ...

 

As we returned home from Aultman Hospital, we walked into the nursery for the first time to see the beautifully hung tree decal in the corner above the rocking chair. As we went to Generations Women's Health for our followup appointment, we noticed their logo ... another tree. We went on a pontoon ride to get out of the house in the few weeks following delivery ... to turn the corner of the lake and see multiple Willow trees.

 

God works in ways we will never be able to comprehend. As we walked through the motions and had multiple gentle reminders like these, we knew that this was the path that was chosen for us. We don't understand God's will, but we trust His heart.

 

The maternity picture below is with our little Ruby, who is now a little over 2 years old. She is loved and surrounded by the two of us, but also the Willow tree hangs over her to protect her and teach her lessons we never will be able to.

 

Thank you to all of our friends and family for helping to make each day without our sweet Willow, one filled with generosity, love, compassion, faith and most of all support.

 

We will forever be humbled by you.
