Some dreams end too soon as many of you know, and our baby has died. There are no words to express the depth of the love we already had for this child. He or she was very dearly wanted and will be even more dearly missed. I just wanted to let everyone know. If I think of a way to represent our loss through photography, I'll post it here.<br /><br />God bless,<br />JessThe Romanceaholichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15554269511592553747noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039173269070992572.post-3275479606454338062007-03-04T09:33:00.000-05:002007-03-04T09:37:24.640-05:00Fly Me To The MoonTimes like these make me want to run out and get a super long lens lol!
