I just had to share this because I think it is so beautiful. We spent the afternoon at the funeral home planning Annaleigh's service. I wanted to give out prayer cards, but all the ones they had were so generic. Joe decided that he would create one for her instead:
On the back we are printing verses from the book "Your Personal Penguin." We sang this to Annaleigh yesterday right before she passed:
I want to be your personal penguin
I want to walk right by your side
I want to be your personal penguin
I want to travel with you far and wide
Wherever you go
I'll go there too
Up and down and all around
And always with you
I want to be your personal penguin
From now on
Re: Annaleigh's prayer card
That is so beautiful.
You and your H are amazing people.
TTC since 2007

Not sure what to do now. Sad and lost.
That is just perfect. What wonderful parents you are.
Your story has touched me ... like so many others, I've been following your blog daily since the babies were born. I cried this afternoon when I heard about Annaleigh. She will be missed and remembered by so many.
I am thankful every day for my miracle after infertility.
And thrilled to be pregnant again after FET!
I love that. Thank you for sharing.

After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!

Brooke, I am so sorry you and your family had to experience this. But you and your husband were such wonderful parents to Annaleigh even though it was for a short time. I am sure she felt your love.
Your poem is absolutely beautiful and touching. My prayers go out to you and your family.
