Hayes' Heavenly Hands: Hayes' March for Babies Walk

What an emotional day! It was amazing to meet so many family's and hear them share their stories about their angel babies and how they imagine them in Heaven with each day that passes. I pictured all these sweet babies gathered around Jesus pointing out their Mommy's and Daddy's on Saturday morning and telling Him how proud they are for each of them. I was also proud of all the Mommy's and Daddy's pushing forward and honoring their babies. Yes, it's a difficult journey, but so many people proved that with the love of God in their heart, moments of joy can be brought about by such sadness.

Cody and I know how blessed we are by Hayes. We will share his story to anyone willing to listen. We also know how blessed we are by our family and friends. Without their love and support, I'm not sure we would be where we are today. So much love has been poured over us from the first evening in the hopsital.

We set a goal to raise $1388 for Hayes' March for Babies team. WE REACHED THE GOAL! "Hall"ing it for Hayes raised $1435. I thank all of my family, friends and coworkers who donated to Hayes' team, and also joined us to walk on Saturday. It makes my heart smile to know that this money will help save other babies around the world. It may be a small amount in the big scheme of things, but even the smallest of amounts can make all the difference. I encourage you to get involved with your local March of Dimes campaign. I promise, you will be amazed at the joy you experience after you see how your support can change the life of a baby. I encourage you to volunteer at your local NICU. You will never be the same after holding the tiniest of babies in your hand. These babies can feel your love cover them.
