Livie Isla Braswell
I want to extend our deepest appreciation for everyone's support, love, and sincere expressions of sympathy throughout our journey with Livie.  I find it very touching and beautiful that I am still receiving picture tributes for Livie, and it is a sweet reminder that Livie will always be with us.  We are grateful to everyone who has made a donation to Sustaining Grace or March of Dimes in Livie's honor.  We are also thankful for, and overwhelmed by, all of the family and friends that came to Livie's service to help us celebrate her life, show her our love, and say goodbye.

Livie Isla Braswell

Livie Isla Braswell was born at 6:23 am on Saturday, August 4th.  It breaks my heart to say that labor was too long and difficult for Livie to survive.  I had so much hope that I would get to look into her eyes, if even for a brief moment, and tell her how much I love her.  I know that she felt loved, because she was surrounded by mommy, daddy, family and friends.  Livie is absolutley gorgeous, and I am completely in love and in awe of her.  I will never forget how it felt to hold her.  I thought the hardest part was going to be leaving the hospital, but I was wrong.  The hardest part is being at home, and knowing that Livie should be here with me.
