Eleanor Elizabeth arrived at 9:30 am on July 22 after a very quick labor. She weighs 7 lb, 3 oz and is 22" long. We are so thankful for our new beautiful girl!
Meeting Eleanor!
We cannot care for you the way we wanted, or cradle you or listen to your cry;
but separated as we are by silence, our love will not die.
We cannot watch you growing into childhood, and find a new uniqueness every day;
but special as you would have been among us, forever you still will stay.
So through the mess of anger, grief and tiredness, through tensions which are not yet reconciled,
we give to God the worship of our sorrow and you, our dear child.
Lord, in your arms which cradle all creation we rest and place our baby beyond death
believing that she now, alive in heaven, breathes with your own breath.
