Our Newest Beautiful Angel
About a year ago, I redesigned this site. I wanted to create the most beautiful ever image of an infant lying on a cloud as an angel, but I didn’t have just the right baby yet–one small and fragile and gently sleeping–to represent our lost babies.
In March, some dear friends of mine gave birth to twins after many many years of trying to conceive. We were all so thrilled for them.
They came for images when the babies were still only a few weeks old, and baby Corey was so tiny (born at 5 pounds) and curled up that I knew she would make the perfect angel image. I gently asked my friends if I could use her, and they agreed.
The little girls grew over the months and on the Fourth of July, they sent out the cutest little patriotic shots of the twins in their holiday duds.
On July 5, about the time many of us were looking at those images of the girls, the twins’ wonderful and caring in-home babysitter laid them down for their nap.
Baby Corey never woke up. After an autopsy and toxicology report, they could find no cause of death, so she was ruled as one of the 2200 SIDS deaths that happen each year in the US.
Her parents have lovingly agreed all the more that she is just the baby to serve as our ambassador, our sweet respresentative, here to guide our lost babies from this world into the next. I will be incorporating her into the Facts about Miscarriage Site as I make changes.
Rest well, sweet Corey.

May God bless this family! So many of us never got to see what our babies have looked like, and this is a wonderfully amazing image to put with our angels as well.
Thank you so much and I am so sorry that you have had to lose your perfect angel baby!

Oh my, that is very sad and took me completely off guard. I pray blessings and peace for the family. What a wonderful photo to have, and I am so glad it was taken before their loss. Tragic…
Blessings!

Rest in peace sweet angel. May you play in the gardens of heaven with all of our little angels. May you watch over your sister and family. My prayers and thoughts go out your mommy and daddy.
