It's hard to believe it's already been six years sense we lost our Hayley. Her body was delivered June 14
th 2004 the day after we found out we had lost her. (I was 38 weeks pregnant) We call it her birthday. We try to make it to Portland to visit her grave every year on her birthday. All though there isn't a day that goes by I don't think of her I've found it far too easy to forget the priceless experiences and lessons we learned from her passing. I hope by our family visiting her grave it can act as a reminder of her short yet precious mission here on earth. She allowed me personally to feel a closeness to our Heavenly Father that I'll never be able to deny. I grew in gratitude for our Savior. Our family and extended family were unified in a way we never had before. I felt a rejuvenated love and appreciation for my husband. These are just a few of the many blessings we received from Hayley's life. We love her and miss her, but know we will see her again. I'm so grateful that families are forever.

Happy birthday Hayley. Jenn this blog post made me cry. What a special time that was...
What a beautiful post. I will always remember that day and the spirit I felt. Beth and I were recently talking about Ezra, and she expressed so many of the same thoughts you shared.
Jenn, if it makes any difference to you and Luke. I know that while I was in my comma that she helped me make up my mind about what I wanted to do! I want to tell you that she has a very kind disposition and can be a great influence in your home even NOW!
This post makes me cry every year! I can't imagine what you went through and I'm can't imagine myself coming through that the same way you did! You are seriously such an inspiration!! You really are a great example of love, hope, faith and trust in the Lord. Thank you for sharing your story and helping me remember what's important!
Since we've been out of touch for so long I had no idea that you guys had lost a daughter. My cousin went through the same thing about 2 years ago and I remember grieving with them at the gravside and in the months afterward. So difficult, yet so spiritual at the same time.
Thanks for sharing,
Hilary Campbell
It always makes me cry to hear you talk about this whole experience. You are so strong. Can't wait to meet her someday.
I really enjoyed reading the posts on your blog. I would like to invite you to come on over to my blog and check it out. God's blessings. Lloyd
