Today our firstborn daughter, Faith, would have been 8 years old. Some of you know the story. Some of you walked with us through her story and blessed us greatly. Some of you know nothing of her story.
The short version of the story is that when I was 5 months pregnant with her we found out that she had Trisomy 13, which is fatal in most cases. She had three major midline defects. We didn't know if she would make it to birth. She did. We held her for four days and then she bailed on us to go hang out in heaven. I know a lot of you have babies who are in heaven with her. Whether miscarried at 7 weeks or stillborn or 49 days old . . . I think they are all eating birthday cake with Faith right now.
Not sure what we will do today, but we might just make a birthday cake. Happy Birthday to Faith. And thanks to God for giving us short, but sweet time with her on earth.
You can read more about Faith's story here. And one of these days I will do more updates to that blog.
From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. Acts 17:26

Welcome friends, family, randoms, lurkers, blog addicts, fellow desperate moms, and Bono. This blog consists of mostly funny stuff that will make you feel better about yourself. Lots of mom comedy, non-Kodak moments, and un-fashion tips. On Wednesdays I write about my life as a former childhood actress complete with posts about how the entertainment business works, actors I met (or stalked), people and animals I worked with, my Hollywood friends, and photos of former teen heartthrobs. And if that’s not enough to draw you in to follow me . . . I have done some amazing giveaways. A rubber chicken, millions of doll hairs, and unlimited supplies of air. Come join the party.
