From Therese and Russell, two loving parents who brought two angels into the world, come these very special thoughts:
"I can not thank you enough or have words to thank you enough for the gift you have given me and Russell!!
I've actually looked on the Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep website many times as my dad has too. I've enjoyed it very much, but it also breaks my heart to see that these babies have passed away like my boys.
My father did not understand that at 22 weeks gestation that my boys were.... that they looked just like any other baby, except that they were small. He finally realized this when he looked at the picture I had given him and my mother. He said as a man he understood after looking at the pictures, where most men do not understand and just think the women has gone through a miscarriage when in reality it was as if I had gone to nine months and delivered the babies. My father was very pleased and touched by the pictures and was very glad to see them.
I hope to see my boys (Logan and Landon) on the website as I will feel they will help other parents realize the joy of photography and know they will have these special pictures to enjoy for the rest of their lives and not wonder "What did my baby look like?" or "I'm going to forget what they look like". These were my fears, until the councelor at the Maine Medical walked into my room 4 hours after giving birth to them and advised me of your service. I had never heard of such a thing, but I was pleased. Christmas was only 5 days after I delivered Logan and Landon... and I have to tell you it was the most difficult day I had experienced. I was surrounded by my 4 sisters with all their children (13), mom and dad and the rest of the crew. I was overwhelmed and thinking of the boys every second and wishing they were with me! I got the call from you the Monday morning following Christmas to advise me that the pictures and slide show were done. I had never felt such a feeling of releif and excitement to see pictures before. I had from that day forward the blessing of being able to see my boys (just as imprinted in my brain) any time that I wanted to. I've got them everywhere... my living room, bedroom, wallet, car and most important I got to share them with my family that has loved and supported me through this difficult time. I can not explain in words what the pictures of my twin boys mean..... but I do know that when I look at them I feel PRIDE and JOY that I was blessed with these 2 little angels even if for only 22 weeks in my belly and just over 3 hours in my arms. I miss them dearly!!
Thank you,
Therese"
