Harry's in Heaven: Questions

Questions

So I have decided to hold a question and answer session. You and all of you, even you little blog stalkers you, are welcome to ask anything you want. I have had questions in the past and thought that to answer then in a post would be good. So ask away. Anything from my family, to Harry, to me, to my church. Whatever you would like to know about me I will answer the most honest and open way possible.

What is one of the many memories you cherish the most with your little baby Harry?

I know that this isn't want you meant, but I'm making a memorial video for Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. It's predominantly for my support forums, but I would love to include Harry on it (and any other angel mommies who read this!). Let me know if you'd like to be included.

Hi April...I'm so sorry that I'm behind the times, but I just found out about Harry this morning. Ever since your Memorial Day post, I've been wondering who Harry was, so I finally asked Megan Mills and she told me. Your blog is so amazing. I cried and cried while reading it. All of my kiddos are asleep right now and I just want to go wake them and hug them and kiss them. Yours and Harry's story is such an important reminder of how precious life it. How blessed you and your family are to truly know that Harry is watching over you and waiting for you and that you will all be together again. This life is such a tiny part of our existence...and then we get to be together forever! What a sweet little guy, and what an extremely lucky guy to have been born into your family.

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.
