"Nurse Carol"

When I was about 7 months along with Rachel, Desirae wanted to play hospital with us... we all sat on the couch and she asked us questions and wrote the answers on a pad of paper.  I've seen it floating around the house here and there, but today read it... I love this child - it says (in nice cursive, I might add :o) - I left the spelling the way it was... )

HOSPITAL

2010 - Stacy Lynn Aube has a baby with Anencephaly.  She would like to have a seasection (she obviously didn't intend the pun...but how funny is that..I did kind of end up with a "sea")

Nurse Carol

Whatever you do don't look it up on Google!  You'll get scared.  Have faith.  God with tack care of you!   Service Availabule At All Times!!

That's my girl...She doesn't miss a thing.  I am so proud of her.  I remember a teacher from Tri-City telling me that she would be a better woman for having walked this road with us.  When I look at the pictures of her holding her sister, with a huge, proud smile... I know it's true.  She had nothing but love for Rachel and in the matter of minutes learned more lessons than I can list.  It's very humbling to be a part of that...God shaping my little girl through such joy and sorrow at such a young age...realizing that I can't protect her from all pain...and trusting that He will carry her too and that his plan with Rachel included Des (and the boys) too...

Rachel's life has done so much in my heart; made my life so much richer.  I am so grateful that my children will be molded by their sister's life too...and am confident that it is for the better.

I took this one and think it really captures all of their personalities...
Desirae, proud big sister... Isaiah's trying to reach her hand and Sam was late for nap.

Would have loved to watch them all grow together. 
She is so loved... and missed dearly.
