I am in tears with Cora’s story. Thank you for sharing it. I came across your blog because I was reading up on speakers for Hope Spoken. I hope to go to the conference and be able to meet you in person to give you a hug! You are one strong and amazing mom!

Hello,
My name is Alison Walton, I stumbled upon your blog through pinterest. And I must say I am was so deeply touched by your and Cora’s story. I need to tell you I wept through the story and through the video. I do not understand how god took away such a beautiful little girl. He must of love her so much dearly. Although, I do not know you and did not know Cora, I feel connected enough more due to the fact that my birthday is March 5th, and I was born at 10:02 but pm. I know she was dancing up in heaven, looking down and knowing how many your family loves her. I will be thinking about your family and prayer for bright futures everyday.
With love,
Alison Walton

What a beautiful little girl – you sound like an amazing mom. I cannot imagine the emotions you went through during her first year of life…so many like that of other first-time moms during the first year, and then so many so different. I don’t know how I would handle/cope/wrestle all that you have with God – but I appreciate your rawness and sweetness. May Jesus, your Filler, be ever present today.

Jess, your story is a sad but beautiful one. Thank you for sharing with so many and being a strong witness for Christ.
A book I would recommend to you by Angie Smith is called I Will Carry You. Angie too, lost a baby girl. Please read it if you have not. It will bless and comfort you. I actually got to hear her in person and she is very real. She also has other books that are a blessing.

Love Karen

Oh, wow. I am crying quite a bit…I am so sorry. Thank you for being such a testimony. I spent a year as a “chemo-pal” to a little girl who had neuroblastoma. Her name was Lesley. This was before I was married, before our little girl…I spent so much time with her and she went to be with Jesus at the age of 9. I cannot imagine all that you went through because watching Lesley was impossibly difficult on me-and I was just a friend/sleepover buddy/movie date.
Thank you for celebrating your little girl in the way you do. I know she is dancing with Jesus more brilliantly than anyone.

Love, Anna Norman

I found your blog through Casey and the Hope Spoken speakers link. I was instantly drawn to your story of lossing Cora. We lost our son, Logan. I was 28 weeks pregnant and he died due to a genetic defect and was born sleeping on 12/02/2010. I understand the struggeling to understand and trust in God while suffering, but I also understand the moments of clarity and calm when you fully trust that God knows what he’s doing. Thank you for sharing your story!!!
