one thing i love about creating keepsakes is getting to know the beautiful people for whom the items are created, even if i never get to meet them in person. i got a request from a friend to make a frame to honor sweet Abbigail Zara Diehl. Abbigail was born prematurely at 26 weeks gestation on February 26, 2009. despite a tremendous will to live, Abbigail lost her 15-day battle on March 13th.
when i was given the photo above (taken by Abbigail's grandfather) i immediately thought of the accompanying quote to help emphasize this beautiful moment between mom and baby. my heart goes out to the diehl family and my prayers continue for their strength and healing. i'm so glad the diehl's have such good friends and family in their lives.
It's truly amazing how many people were touched by this little, tiny miracle. Abbigail's passing serves as a reminder of how precious life is...and makes me hug my own babies a little tighter.
