Because you loved me…

Bethany Ann Irvine….14 years ago today was the last time I held you against my chest. It was the last time I felt your heartbeat. I will never forget the steps I took walking you out to the hurst, nor the last kiss I placed upon your cheeks…..The day my daughter and I are re-united, that is the day that my heart will be healed.

My SMA Angel Cody

August is national Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Awareness Month.

What is SMA? Many people have not heard of SMA or Spinal Muscular Atrophy. I unfortunately, have had these three letters imprinted into my heart since 1995. I gave birth to two children, Cody and Bethany, who were diagnosed with, and would ultimately pass away from those three letters. I HATE those 3 letters and my blood burns for the day I can hear the words, SMA has been cured!! Will you help me in the fight against SMA? Will you spread the word?

My gift to my kids for SMA Awareness Month

So, this year, for SMA Awareness Month, I have decided to do a Project 365 of sorts for my ALIVE kids. When my SMA Angels were alive, there was no such thing as digital cameras around and I have always regretted not taking more pics than I had of Cody and Beth. Sooo, that’s my gift to my kids this year. To take 1 picture EVERYDAY, for 365 days. A book of memories for Faith and Matthew. A year in pics of their lives!
