Myracle's Journey Woven with Ribbons and Pearls

She defied the "odds" and gave me strength and determination! Myracle's Journey was meant to be. I carried her to full term enduring excruciating pain for nine months. She outlived the "odds" and brought peace, joy, love and hope to me. When she kicked, I kicked back to let her know we were in this battle together. There were never any real signs of danger or trouble ahead. Nothing indicated she would be retarded. Today, holoprosencephaly (HPE) cannot be seen or detected in a fetus. This crania facial anomaly is something that happens. Scientists believe that HPE is caused by an environmental factor. Myracle was born fractured by the threads of her condition. She struggled and survived with ribbons and pearls of love, and grace to the bitter end in the left pit of my arms... She spent her earthly time, 21 months and 7 days and now she is at peace and so am I. No more beckoning stares and what ifs. As her mother, I feel free because she allowed me to be whom and what I am today. I am strengthened for all of my yesterdays with her and I am truly blessed. Her legacy will forever remain with me. I have used quotes and pictures in the book to illustrate a holistic approach to describing Myracle's Journey. It is my hope you will find favor in the words, pictures and phrases...the threads of her life. Myracle gave me her heart and I gave her my everlasting love! She is in heaven and my heart aches...
