House of Hope: August 2012

Welcome to our House of Hope

Thanks for coming to check in on us. This is our story. Ellis was our first...the one who made us a mommy and a daddy. In April 2011 we went in for a routine ultrasound at 21 weeks, hoping to find out if Baby Henry was a boy or a girl. Instead, we discovered that there was something very wrong. Soon, our little boy was diagnosed with holoprosencephaly, HPE for short. We have HoPE that God is in the details, even when the days seem dark. He was there as we waited for Ellis to enter this world and we believe He was there when Ellis left us to enter a world we don't yet know. Our love for Ellis remains strong. He will always be our little guy. Thank you for remembering him with us.

Sharing Our Story

Elizabeth's writing is something I have come to love since meeting her last December. I suppose it's because so much of who she is comes out in her words. Today some of our story is being shared over at her blog. Feel free to take a peek. While you're there, I hope you'll take a moment to read through some of her pieces. I think you'll leave refreshed.
