Day 4: Legacy "I can't find any purpose in your death but I can find every purpose for your life."
At the beginning of this journey I had a really hard time expressing how much Bunny had changed me into a better person because I felt like I was saying that she had to die for these things to happen. Months into therapy it came to me: her death had no reason or no purpose...but Her Life was full of meaning and purpose. She put a beautiful imprint on this world that will never go away. I am so thankful for her legacy in this world and her legacy in my life. I am a different person today than I was a year ago and it is all for the better.

Brooke touched so many people's lives in her short time, some she never even met. Her legacy is to profound for me to even begin to understand. What she has changed all over the world, I will never know. She changed my life for the better because she was in it and still is. I love you sweet angel!

Losing Bean has really made me realize I was waiting for so many things. Waiting for the right time, waiting for this is pan out. Why though? Why do I need to wait? I need to start living my life everyday to the fullest and take those risk that I am always so worried about taking, because who knows what tomorrow will bring.

Walter is Mary's legacy. He is the one she protects and the one she watches over. Through him, we get to watch her grow. She gave him strength through his 75 day NICU stay and every day since.
In short I agree with jbranden12... Our family is Domenik's legacy.

Even through all our complications, and even during their labors, they always gave me hope. Hope that even if Leah's water broke, we wouldn't go right into labor (and we didn't! She lasted over two more weeks!) hope that even though they were born at 23 weeks they still might survive - and Rachel did for a few hours. Hope that while nothing has turned out the way we ever would've wanted, that we and they have made a positive impact on all we've come into contact.
Always, always, hope...
