Julia Grace

Her name was Julia Grace Fisher.  She was born at Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center on June 29, 2007 at 4:09 a.m., weighed 1 pound 6 ounces, and was 13 inches long.  She had 10 tiny fingers, 10 tiny toes, and just a little bit of dark brown hair.  I got to hold her for a few hours on June 30, 2007, and then she passed from this world into Heaven at 8:53 p.m.  After it was announced that she had passed a single firework went off somewhere outside of the hospital, which I believe was her way of letting us know that she had made it into God's arms safely.  I miss her so much everyday.  Five years later and I still have so many emotions I am dealing with, and so much farther to go until I may feel just a sliver of normalcy to my life again.  The story of my journey from pregnancy to loss spans quite a few years, so I will save that for another time.
