I decided to share a slideshow with everyone today. It is the same one I made 2 years ago, and I modified it by adding some more recent pics. Hopefully you can see it okay...

Ashley and Hope were born with Adenylosuccinate Lyase Deficiency. This metabolic disorder left them with a damaged brain resulting in seizures and profound psychomotor delay. They were not expected to live past infancy. Although they were palliative care, we kept them at home to love and hold. Ashley died on March 18th,2011 (6yrs old) and Hope followed her home on August 14th, 2011 (4yrs old). We now continue our journey as a 'Family of Four'.

Happy Birthday, Sweet Hope!
Enjoy all your cuddles today. You are surrounded by so much love.
Happy 4th Birthday Hope!
Nat and I enjoyed looking at the pictures - seeing those pictures brings back memories when we went garage sale shopping and she was cooing and squealing up a storm. Hoping she has a really GOOD day.
I loved the slide show--Happy Birthday Hope--First thing I do every morning is check to see how you are doing and then I say a prayer for you and your family. Today , as I read the story your Mommy wrote, I cried--cried because of all the love you are surrounded with--so much love and so many prayers--You are indeed a very special little girl.This message comes with love from Johnny and Helen
Thank you for the beautiful slideshow Jolene! A glimpse of your sweet girl! Hugs, thoughts & prayers for each of you.
