A LIFE!
My son was life. My son's days were numbered and few...but he lived. He had a strong heart beat, he had 10 fingers and 10 little toes that he wiggled, he had eyes that he opened and ears, he kicked....I felt him!
And to think that some people don't believe that this is life. That the beautiful life within so many women is actually living.
38 years ago yesterday, a Court decided it was okay to take life....
IT'S LIFE!
God gives us life....as a gift....God gave me Oliver....as a gift. God gives each and every parent children....as gifts! Gifts to us to show us His AMAZING love....his beautiful, unfailing love! To think of it any other way...you are just lying to yourself.
CHOOSE LIFE!

Very, very moving post. I shared your blog with a friend of mine who lost two. Here's what she said:
Life is fragile and fleeting at any stage - before and after birth. Those images should make people treasure what they have and pray to have even an ounce of the courage Rebecca needed to embark on another pregnancy.
Dear Rebecca, your blog is fabulous, I found it by accident and started reading older posts but I cannot understand why you would post this particular video?
Is it a part of American culture? mentality? Christian faith? to publish something so intimate, so emotionally fragile - the body of your own dead child, not only this but also decorate it with some wooden blocks. What about Oliver's dignity? Would you do the same if God forbid! it would be a body of your older daughter who was not born prematurely?
I am a pro-life Catholic but no, I do not buy it.
Well, just an opinion.
All the best with baby No.3!
