Joy Marie White
Our sweet, beautiful baby, Joy, lived with us for a glorious 5 1/2 hours. She did everything we only dreamed of. She cooed cried and held our little fingers. I could not have dreamed of a more perfect day with my beautiful angel. Many many thanks for all of the prayers and fasting. I know our Father in Heaven was mindful of us today and blessed us with so many tender mercies. I loved watching her daddy hold her. There is something special about the bond between a father and a daughter. I cannot wait to share more photos, she is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I have never felt so blessed in my life. I love you my sweet little Joy. Or as daddy called you "his little miss"

ReplyDeleteI'm sure you wrote this post with tears in your eyes, but your attitude is unreal. You are an inspiration. Thank you for sharing the Joy in this journey with us. I love you and thank you for being such a great example.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your Heavenly, perfect little Joy. I'm so privileged to have been in able to bask in her beautiful influence and feel the love that she brought to this earth. It's incredible how it simply radiated- all the way over to Germany- where things felt very sweet and tender after she was born. Thank you so much, White family. Thank you so much, Joy. You've changed my life.
ReplyDeleteSending you all my love and prayers-

She is beautiful! You and Justin are so amazing! My prayers are with you and your family.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss, and wish she could have stayed with you longer. How awesome that she got to return home with pretty pink fingernails, though!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy she was with you for over 5 hours and I'm excited to see more beautiful pictures. I thought about you guys all day yesterday and hoped it would be wonderful even though it would be one of the hardest days of your life. Thank you for sharing your story so openly with all of us so we can "mourn with those who mourn". We'll be thinking of you often in the weeks and months ahead.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if you remember me or not but we went to highschool together and I grew up in Wellsville with Justin's family. I'm so amazed at your strength and faith. Thank you for sharing your story, it's been such an inspiration to read your journey and experience, what an example you guys have been to everyone. What a sweet reunion you'll have one day and what an honor to have an angel with you forever! You and your family have and will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteI love her matching pink fingernail polish with her mama. She ’s beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. My heart aches for you. You are both so strong and have amazing faith in God's plan for your family. You are great examples. You're in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteHi Brianna, I'm Karen's older sister Laura (not sure if you remember me). I don't even know how I found this, but I've been following your story. You have conveyed it so beautifully, and I love everything about the way you've chosen to find beauty in your experiences and provide beautiful memories for your family. I think narration is so important in processing our emotions and framing our experiences toward something positive, and I really just love everything about your family's story about your journey with Joy. I am so, so, so, so, so, (etc.) sorry for your loss. As a mother myself, I can't imagine the strength you've had to summon. I think the only thing that could possibly comfort me under such circumstances would be knowing that my baby was loved - felt loved. She clearly is loved beyond measure. Thank you for sharing this story - it has touched my life and inspired me to try my best to be a more loving mother, wife, and friend. Best wishes!
ReplyDeleteMy mother heard about you from Karole Sorenson. I don't know if you know her or not but, I am currently pregnant with my 4th boy and feel like we have so much in common. I want you to know how inspiring you and your family is. What a great example you are of faith and love.You've helped remind me our purpose on earth and how close our heavenly father really is. He is in the eyes of our children. My heart aches for you but I can't help but feel the love and joy you had of anticipating the arrival of your daughter and how something so sad you have made into a miracle and such an opportunity to be closer to our heavenly father. I just want to thank you for sharing your story! I feel so uplifted and greatful for all i have!! Especially my 3 soon to be 4 crazy boys! Thank you! Cassidy
ReplyDeleteI love this photo more than I can say. You are in my thoughts and prayers.....
