when times get hard who do you turn to. When life throws you a curve ball and you feel as tho you cant deal, who do you call! My name is Samantha many people that know my story ask me how are you so strong! I have to be I simple tell them. But If it wasn't for one group I wouldnt be the strong person I am today!
Two and a half years ago I was an adverage "jane" I had a beautiful 2 year old, and amazing husband! We were starting out with our little family! Then we got a very unexpected surprise I was pregnate with our 2nd child! At first I was a little thrown back because we were not expecting it and our first son was born a little premature. After a week in the NICU he was fine! IT didnt take me long to get baby fever! I was soo exctied. At twenty weeks I looked forward to finding out the sex of our baby and I was ready to go shopping! However that is the moment my whole life changed. The moment the sonogram started I knew something was wrong. Then basically told me my daughter was only measureing 17 weeks although I was 20. She was not growing properly! They basically told me I would need a miracle. At 25 weeks I was induced and we did not get out miracle. Our Daughter TRINITY LEIGH was born and passed on August 18th 2006 she was 10 inched and 11 oz! She was very small. Losing her I lost myself. For weeks I was a walking Zombie! Untill I found SHARE. SHARE is a website sponcered by the March of Dimes. I found such strength and realized then just how Important the March of Dimes is. Not only was there research used in all the medical treatments for my son. All the specialist and Dr. I had seen trying to Save our daughter was all working off the research from the March for Dimes!
I wouldnt wish the loss of a child on anyone! I just hope that many people will realize how important this is cause is!
Tomorrow I am walking in my daughters memory! Tomorrow I am walking 5 miles in her memory! Thank You March for Babies for all you have done for babies everywhere!
