9-28-09 was a very special day in my family. My sister, Hannah, and her husband, Billy, gave birth to a beautiful little girl, Lily. I feel so fortunate to have been there to experience this awesome event, I am compelled to share their story. My sister had 3 miscarriages before Lily, two of them were devastating loses at around 6 months into her pregnancies. The second time she lost her baby was the day before my youngest sister gave birth to twins. In the 2.5 years that have gone by since then, 6 children have been born between me and my two other sisters. Hannah bravely and lovingly supported us through each pregnancy and birth. I don’t know how she did it. I am humbled by her strength. Lily is the miracle of never giving up hope. She is hope. And a whole lot of love. This little girl has no idea how many lives she has already touched. “Hannah, Billy and Lily, I love you so much!”
