Our perfect little angel, Avery Rauch came into the world on Saturday May 26, 2012 at 5:06pm, weighing 7lbs 13oz and measuring 21.5 inches long. She was baptized under the eyes of God in our room, with her 2 grandmoms, midwives and nurses who have helped us through this painful process. I had a long and hard labor but made it through with Greg's love and support. It was both the happiest and saddest day of our lives; we met our little miracle for the very first time, however we also had to say goodbye to her on the same day.
Avery,
We're so sorry we couldn't protect you. We wish we could somehow go back and save you. Some people might say you never lived because you never took a breath outside my womb, but Mommy held you for 10 months and you were with me every day of your life. I felt your little body as you grew and prepared to join our family. Your life was a miracle and a blessing to us, our life will never be the same without you.
Although we didn't have much time with you Mommy and Daddy will always remember our beautiful little girl and our hearts will forever be filled with love for you. Your life was a miracle and a blessing to us, our life will never be the same without you. We held you in our arms and never wanted to let you go, but now you are being held safely in the arms of God. You will always be our precious angel and will never be forgotten.
Love,
Mommy and Daddy
I am here in Baby Heaven
God took me by the hand.
Wrapped me in His love,
gently led me to His land.
I will always be your baby,
our hearts joined by love.
Now a perfect little angel,
I'm watching from above.
I am part of you,
though brief the time we shared.
Take comfort, be healed.
I'm safe in loving care.
Remember me with joy,
lift a smile to the skies.
Say a prayer for me
let there be no sad goodbyes.
One day we'll meet again,
a lifetime I will wait.
You will know the little angel,
with outstretched arms at Heaven's gate.
This website is a tribute to our sweet baby girl, Avery. Please feel free to leave us a message as we try to heal our pain one moment at a time. We appreciate your thoughts and prayers.
Love, Greg and Erica
