March for Babies

This past Saturday the 25th several of us participated in the March of Dimes, March for Babies walk in loving memory of my friend's first born, Lily Raine. We gathered a team of about 13 people who, I am proud to say, raised over $800 in two weeks for research in preventing infant fatalities from birth defects, prematurity, and stillbirth. Kyle and I bundled Caylee up and pulled out the stroller for the first time. We met my parents for the five mile walk through the city. The weather was chilly and sleeting rain; and with every step I had to thank God for my healthy baby girl sleeping soundly in her stroller. It was very moving to see so many people walking for their own personal reasons. I walked for the hope that no other mother will have to experience the loss of their precious child and to keep the memory of sweet little Lily alive. Hopefully, next year my dear friend will be able to bundle up her new little addition and join us in walking for Lily...

Beautiful Lily, Gone too soon...
