Jesus is Risen!

Easter is a special holiday for those of us who have lost someone that we truly love because it is the day that we celebrate that Jesus is risen. We know that Magdalena is in heaven because Jesus paid the ultimate cost for our sins. However, it is on this special day that we miss her the most out of all of the days. Mary Magdalene was the first to see Jesus when he was no longer dead, and when our pastor preached I couldn't help but think about how Magdalena (Magdalene in Spanish) was the first of us to see Jesus. I did make it through all of church and family time, which felt like an accomplishment, but at the end of the day I was emotionally tired. I miss her so much.
Katie and Carter took balloons and a pink egg to Magdalena's grave, and Mimi planted the purple flowers.

  1. He is risen! He is risen indeed!

    I know that I know, that I know!

    I know that sweet Magdalena is with our risen Saviour, perfect in every way, praising our King!


    So sorry that yesterday was wonderful with church, family and friends and yet so very hard for you.

    Prayers continue for you as well as Noah and your new little one!
    Praying for peace and comfort.

  2. The comments about Mary Magdalene made me think of Magdalena as well, and I knew if it caused me to think of her that it did the same for y'all. I am thankful for the hope that is Christ, and yet sad as well that she was not with us to celebrate...

    I can't imagine the powerful heartbreak of this visit...
    I also can't imagine the powerful comfort that Christ our Risen Savior poured out this day to get you through. I'm praying for you.

  10. Ethan said to me last week incredulously "can you believe that we won't sin when we get to heaven!! How can that happen? It's amazing!" -in his very enthusiastic and typical style. Magdelena is there, where there is no sin, no disease, no fear or despair....just wonderful companionship with our risen savior, Jesus.

    I, Like so many others, stumbled upon your blog just recently. I have read about your journey from the very beginning, every post. What I really want to say is what a tremendous inspiration you have been to me. Reading about your precious Magdalena has truly touched my heart. Your faith has forever impacted my life, in a time when my own faith was growing weary. Having strong faith throughout struggles and hardships is what faith is all about. Your story has helped me with this. Thank you for sharing. I am praying for your family and for God's blessings in your life.

This morning Magdalena left this world to be with Jesus. There really isn't too much else I can say but to please pray for Julie and Noah. For now, they do not want any calls, emails or visits. I will you keep you updated on the arrangements.

Making the Decision to Not Make the Decision

I get the question, "Are you going to have any more kids?" asked often. Since finding out Magdalena's diagnosis it was always a tough question to answer. We had always envisioned ourselves with multiple children, but there was always the lingering thought of having to endure this difficult situation again. Although it is less than a one percent chance that we would have another child with T18, the percentage still exists. When pregnant, I said multiple times that I couldn't do this again and my mom constantly reminded me that it is not always that difficult. Being pregnant was physically uncomfortable, but I was referring to the constant emotional exhaustion. As Magdalena continued to do well, Noah and I weren't sure when to begin thinking about other children. Noah and I discussed that I would work really hard at losing my weight, but I was willing to be five pounds more than what I was originally. People poked fun at my not eating Magdalena's birthday cakes

Hello World!!
