Sophie's 1st Birthday

Yesterday was Sophie's first birthday. We came back from the cities, visited her grave, picked up the dogs and headed home. Then last night we went to the hospital to deliver treats to the nurses. The nurses were very appreciative and that made us feel good. We left a card in our basket of treats which was healing for us.

Last night we read Psalms 91, just like we did while laying in the hospital bed and thanked God for all of those people he placed in our life that day and the days to follow. The pastor that  baptized Sophie was one of those people that we will always remember. He was amazing and shared his amazing story with us about his own stillbirth experience and struggles with fertility. Another place where God gave us HOPE. God continues to give us hope and we cling to the quotes and verses that helped us and continue to help us grow in our faith life and function in our daily lives.

Here is a picture of where Sophie is buried. The craziest thing happened while we were standing there. It started to lightly snow. No clouds in the sky just a light snow falling down on just us. Pretty awesome and another gift from God.

There was a point late last night that I felt that same peace I felt one year ago wash over me and I was able to rest, which was definitely needed.
