My name is Anna. I am 23 years old. I am blessed with a wonderful man who has stayed by my side for over 6 years. I have 2 wonderful children: Evelyn - 5, Ezra - 3, and 2 Angel Babies: Johnny - who went to be in Heaven with Jesus in December 2011, and another baby we never got the pleasure of meeting that we lost in September 2012. I am not sure why I am starting this blog now as it has been over a year since our son Johnny's passing. Most women who have lost little ones start an online journal almost immediately after the loss of their loved one. But I want this blog to be so much more than just the story of my Baby's loss. I want it to inspire women and encourage them. I want my testimony to bring hope to others and make a difference in even just one person's life.
I have spent the last year going through all the "normal" symptoms of grief. I have been told that the first year would be the hardest. Perhaps that is true, but the truth is, I will never forget my son. John Israel Collier was born still on December 8th, 2011. The days surrounding his birth were the hardest days of my life. But his life and death have changed me so much and have already brought good things to my life and the lives of those around me. This is the journey I want to share with you.
This picture was taken in 2011, during my 3rd pregnancy with Baby John.
Psalm 51:12 - Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation; and uphold me with Thy free spirit.
