it is one of the hardest and trying things to go through...nobody will ever understand unless they have been through it. There is not one day that goes by that I am not thinking of the little boys that I have lost. I am sure he is proud to be your son, he is proud of you for letting him come to this earth to get the body he needed.. May you have some comfort and guidance.

A Way to Heal
This blog was started in honor of our son Harrison Samuel Maw.
Harrison Samuel Maw
Harrison's story: Harrison was our surprise baby, I clung to the fact that because he was a surprise that Heavenly Father would not take him from us. But from the beginning I had complications. I bled heavily throughout the entire pregnancy, I had a subchorionic Hemmatoma. Harrison was a trooper the whole time, always measuring ahead of schedule. I was told due to the bleeding and a large blood clot that I would deliver early, little did we know how early. I was hospitalized at 20 weeks and was becoming weaker everyday. I was told that if I could hang on for a few more weeks Harrison's chance of surviving would double. One night due to a hemmorrhage I lost so much blood that my body finally gave up and went into labor. There was nothing more they could do, my placenta had ruptured and I had an infection. Our baby would be born and there would be nothing they could do. Our beautiful, healthy baby boy was born October 28, 2008 at 20 wks and 4 days weighing 13.2 oz and was 10 inches long. Harrison was alive and well until the last few minutes before he was born, the labor was too much for his little body to handle. We are grateful everyday for the hours we were able to hold him, kiss him, and love him. He was so perfect in every way and needed to come to this earth to gain a body and then return to our Heavenly Father for more important work. We love him dearly and know our little angel is in heaven watching over us and waiting patiently for us all to be together again. We know Families can be together Forever and that one day we'll get the opportunity to raise him. We love you and miss you Harrison.

Some people only dream of angels...We held one in our arms.
Harry's Song (written by his Father) Although I grive and wipe the tears from my sleeve, you've changed our lives forever,in just a few short weeks. My son the one, that I didn't get to know, yet I feel so much love,between us flow. We caught a glimpse,of a spirit so strong, as you fought and triumphed,for so very long. Now I have the feeling,that we knew you before, and when the time comes,we'll see you once more. So this life will be,but a brief delay, while we gain the assurance,to reunite some day. Even though I may grieve,and wipe the tears with my sleeve, you've changed our lives forever,and brought our family closer together.
Hudson and Harrison, Brothers Forever
Hudson told me one day, "Ruby, me, and Harry are going to hold hands forever."
Ruby's a big sister
Ruby said,"Mom, remember Harry? I remember Harry. I hold Harry. I love Harry. Mom remember Harry?"
Always, Forever, No Matter What
There is no foot too small that cannot leave an imprint on this world.
