“It always seems impossible, until it is done.” Nelson Mandela

“I believed in these words as this call to God, for Jesus to wrap Emma in all his light.

But let me tell you, even I wasn’t prepared for how that would truly show up.”

“That moment I almost passed on, can still bring me comfort .. and also rip my heart out.”

“A life she LIVED for 9 YEARS- when at 6 WEEKS old she had died multiple times.”

“Emma deserved that, she deserved us rallying for her, not just loving her but loving each other. Emma deserved to know and feel surrounded in that we would be OK, it was her gift to us.”

What Emma couldn’t verbalize with words, she spoke loud and clear heart to heart with her eyes. An image, a feeling I will never forget.

“The last time we embraced like that, was the first day Emma stopped breathing at 6 weeks old and I’d rushed into the PICU at St. John’s Hospital tossing my bags to the side and grabbing her like all our lives depended on it.”
