Our Story

This is our story of Henry, who was diagnosed with anencephaly at 20 weeks. We cherished his time with us and made the most of every passing day. We think about Henry constantly. He will always be part of our family.

As Hazel says, there are four of us now.

All Hallow's Eve

As we dressed our daughter for trick-or-treat night, I could not escape the thought that Henry will never get to do this. The list of all the things he will not do grows daily. So we try to incorporate Henry in as many family activities as we can. I tried to convince Sarabeth that she should dress up for Halloween, as that would be Henry's only chance. No luck.

It was a very cold night for trick-or-treat. We only went to a dozen houses, but Hazel had fun. We went to a friend's house because our communities have different beggars' nights. Hazel went as a fairy, which required some additional clothing. She wore a dress underneath, tights, pants, mittens and a hat. She stayed warm at least.
