    When a baby arrives you are changed…..the tiny footprints left behind on your heart bespeak your name as mother and father.
    May the sadness you feel in your hearts lighten by the love that surrounds you. Healing moves at its own pace. Be kind to yourself and take it one day at a time. We are here if you need us.
