Erie...

Try just try to wrap your mind around this one...I recieved this email.

I just wanted to send you a message to let you know that I found your site "my world" and it brought a tear to my eye. I'm currently 20 weeks pregnant and 1 day and suffering from severe oligohydramnios. I'm in the hospital with fluids and I'm being monitored but more than likely, I will have to give birth to my little girl very soon. They are suggesting that perhaps she has renal disease. I just wanted to send you this message because, I too am from Illinois(Naperville) and my friend Sue suggested the name Cara because it was Italian and meant "beloved". I have planned on giving my daughter up for adoption the whole time(her father is in the Army in Alaska, I'm 25 and busy in veterinary medicine) and don't think that I could provide for her like a family could. So, I never really considered a name. Personally, I always liked Corryn. Anyway, just wanted to let you know that I was touched by your story. I wish you the best of luck with any future pregnancies


Ok so that was first. Sadly she did end up giving birth 8-17 to her baby girl who lived shortly before going to heaven.



NOW my Mom works for a newspaper company in Illinois. Now this girl who lost her sweet daughter Cara lives in the same town as my family and a few towns over from me. There are tons of newspapers and people at newspaper companies...

Here is an email my mom got...

I am inquiring as to the possibility of creating an obituary for my daughter, who was born yesterday at 6:17 pm. I was only 20 weeks and 1 day gestation and she passed quickly after  being born. I was given the choice of registering her(or not) because since I had not yet hit the 21 week mark, it was still considered a miscarriage. They are telling me that <20 weeks is miscarriage and >20 weeks is stillborn. I was stuck in the middle. But she still very much looked like a "person". My heart aches and I would do anything for this small, but tangible piece of evidence to her existence. Please let me know what I need to do or who I need to contact to possibly make this happen; seeing as I did not register her. Thank you very much for your time.

My Cara was born on the 17th as well. 

How crazy is this. Small small world. 

Please keep this woman in your prayers and her sweet daughter Cara.

My Angel...she's everywhere

I have to share this story with you all.

My Uncle J ran in a triathlon today and this girl came up to him and said can I run with you. Of course my Uncle said yes, she then asked his name and he said J*** Angel (My mothers maiden name is Angel as is my middle name...yes true story) After the girl learned my uncle's name she said "Your my angel!" He laughed and asked her name and she said Cara. Mind you there were 2,000 people at this triathlon, and a girl namedCara found my Uncle.

Just comes to show me that my sweet Cara knows who to reach out to. My Uncle J was with me in the hospital every day...all day. He was also able to hold her. It gives me comfort knowing that she knows that :)

Her name in a frame

Franchesca  made this for Cara Kyle and I

I am in love with it and can't wait to hang it in the loft! The loft is where we keep her picture along with little collected things that remind me of Cara that I have. I can't wait to get it in the mail!

107!

NEVER did I think I would hit 100 followers. Now I am at 107. I am so thrilled to be sharing this journey with each and every one of you! I never knew anyone would be so interested in what I have to say or how I am feeling.

Welcome all newbies to My World. Its a world I never would imagine I would be living in...but this is it. Thats how the cookie crumbles...so on and so forth...

My long term goal for this blog is to have it turned into a book. I already know it would be named A world with and a world without. I have always been a avid writer. Its kind of like my secret little thing. I have numerous poems, short stories I have wrote. I started to write a book about being a stylist called Tickle me pink. However that is no longer in process. I have bigger and better things to write about...such as my daughter. I would not know where to begin to have this published into a book, but I know I wanna get there.

Thank you all for reading. I have a blog makeover in about three weeks...Keep your eye our for that!
