I have a new friend from my homeschool group. Her name is Erin. When I met Erin she had 2 children, and had just found out that she was pregnant with her 3rd. A surprise.
When Erin was 10 weeks pregant she and her husband discovered that their baby had a fatal condition and would not survive outside the womb. They were encouraged to abort their baby, and faced a lot of harrassment from the liberal doctors in Boulder who thought she was nuts to carry this baby to term.
That baby was a little boy. His name is Zachary. He is in heaven today.
Last week, after a radiant preganancy Erin delivered her baby boy. Zachary David lived for 13 hours, before his mama had to let him go. She held him with open hands and loved him for the moments she had. And he was a gift, a treasure. Erin said Zachary was so worth it. So precious. The doctors were wrong; that little baby's life had meaning. He mattered.
Our friend, Bill, is a photographer, and he captured Zachary's little life in some amazing photos.
