Hi all,



My name is Liz, my precious daughter Katherine Elizabeth Verjano was diagnose with Trisomy 13 & a Diaphragmatic Hernia; she was born on Feb 8th 2006, and lived for a 1 hour and 43 min.

As I sit here writing to all of you, I am in dismay, I miss my precious angel, on May 8th it will be three months, but it feels like a life time, as months pass by all I want to do is be able to re-live that moment before my daughter was taken from me to be intubated and freeze it right there.

I hope to get to know you all, I feel that here at NILMDTS I will be able to release so of my feelings.

Thank you,

Liz

Welcome to this site. I will think of baby Katherine Elizabeth. I understand about wanting to be able to freeze time and go back to the moment when I held my baby. Some days it feels like a lifetime since it happened; some days it feels like yesterday. Funny how that works. Be gentle to yourself as the days go by.

We are all here for you. As photographers, we may not always say the right thing, at the right time. Just know, though, that we are all here to offer whatever support that we can.

I received her images today. Katherine is beautiful. I've not had a chance to look at all the images, as yet, but, I do know I'm looking forward to them.

Liz,

Thinking of you and your daughter, Katherine, as her 3 month birthday approaches! I have read your original post a couple of times and have wanted to reply, yet lacked the words. I have found sharing my thoughts and feelings with others has helped me heal. I hope you find that sharing your Katherine enables you to capture that moment in time!
