Time to heal

“Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful part of us.” 
― David Richo

First day without Finn. We feel an empty void that will never be replaced. I can't bring myself to open the nursery door and look at all his sweet things yet. I know that will get easier. We are trying to keep ourselves busy and will have many of our family members visit us soon. We are looking forward to some much needed family time. Kyle's Mom has been such a support for us through this time as she has been in Madison with us. We were so glad she was here last night as a shoulder to cry on and she has been such an enormous help to us. So thankful.

We've had a lot of people ask what they can do for our family during this time. We've been thinking that the best thing would be to help medical research for babies and children with congenital heart disease as this was what we had known Finn had at 20 weeks. Knowing he had a heart problem was the first part of this journey and it hits close to home for us.
  CHD is one of the leading congenital problems in babies (close to 1 in 100) - Finn's poor little heart added a level of complexity to his life and medical care that was ultimately devastating.

 If you want to help, we would love for you to donate in Finnegan's name to the Children's Heart Foundation: http://www.childrensheartfoundation.org/donate-now  Your donations would go toward research that specifically targets congenital heart disease.

A donation would mean the world to us and we would love to have our son recognized for his strength and fight during his short time here.

Thank you again to everyone for their support.

Special moment with our sweet Finny
