Beau and Haley were delivered still born February 3, 2007. This is my story about the love they brought to my family. When you purchase this book, $5 will be donated to the March of Dimes. The remaining cost is the publishing fee. I wrote this book to help prevent such a tragedy from happening to others. My reward will be knowing that I made a difference in saving a baby's life by educating others about infant mortality.
When purchasing the book you will be asked to register with Blurb. This will require a user name and password. Please take the time to follow the requested instructions.
Thank you,
Pat
"I read the copy that you dropped by and I just weeped – what an amazing job you did and what an amazing family you have".

South Carolina March of Dimes
"In only 31 pages, you accomplish so much… You allow us to share in your experiences so candidly – I felt myself hurting with you, and yet as you describe the process of picking up the pieces and trying to make sense of everything, I am lifted up with you – inspired with you, but never forgetting about Beau and Haley, they are always there".
-Katie Tomlinson, NICU Family Support,
March of Dimes South Carolina Chapter
"I wanted to let you know that I read the book review that you sent out. It was very courageous of you to dive in and explore all your emotions and questions about the loss of your grandchildren. It surprised me, the way we all get a little surprise when someone really lives up to all those things we value in our humanity. When we see a great example, we remember that we are also great and have opportunities every day to make those choices and live up to our best selves".
Thanks for sharing,
