Amanda Elizabeth

The last two days have been hard. Monday started off great but a few hours into my day and my Mom called to say that she was keeping my nephew and that my youngest Sister was headed to the hospital. She was 20 weeks pregnant and thought she was in labor. It turned out that she was not in labor, but that her appendix had ruptured on Saturday and that she had a massive infection. My sister had emergency surgery to remove her appendix and to clean up as much of the infection as they could. They started her on some powerful antibiotics and at 12:21 pm on Tuesday my neice was born. Elizabeth Amanda weighed 10 ozs and was 10 inches long. She managed to live in this cruel world for 30 minutes surrounded in the loving arms of her parents before going to heaven to be with her Aunt Liz (her namesake) and her Great Grandparents.

I never knew you. . .but I have loved you deeply!
