Our daughter Cécile was born on Sunday, April 13, after a premature delivery. She was too tiny to breathe on her own and died shortly after the cord was cut. She was a beautiful little girl, right down to the smattering of vessels on her nose that looked like freckles.
I have been in ICU for the past week trying to save her identical twin sister, Madeleine. I just had surgery today and was moved to a normal maternity room. It's been a terrible week and we appreciate your kind thoughts.
Cécile's funeral is tomorrow afternoon. I'm unable to attend due to strict bedrest and Mom is here with me in the hospital.
Thanks for your understanding and compassion during this difficult time.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
You and your family, including little Cécile and Madeleine are in my thoughts.
Hi sweetie--How are you doing today? Still in the hospital?
Everyone who has been to my house recently has seen the Face Food book, and everyone loves your bentos.
Lots of love, and prayers for Cecile, and for you and Madeleine.

Amorette--one of your blogger friends in Texas was not able to leave a comment, so she passed it on to me to post:
*sniffle* Awww. That just hurt my heart. Much love to her. I can't comment as my blogger blog is topsecret and her blog won't allow regular comments. Please send her prayers and hugs from Tejas.
Amorette--another one to you by way of my blog:
Oh heart, if one should say to you that the soul perishes like the body, answer that the flower withers, but the seed remains. ~Kahlil Gibran
I am deeply sorry for your loss, Amorette, and sending strength for the days to come.
Bless you, dear, and sweet Cecile, too.
peace, j.
