not this cute anymore!
My friend, Arah, has been through the most incredibly trying experience. Today she is burying her newborn daughter. Little Olivia Kamille suffered from Potter's Sequence and lived for 1 hour and 53 minutes before returning to Heavenly Father. The funeral is this morning in Spokane... how I wish I could be there to support and show my love for her! When you have time, you must check out her amazing blog. I sob like a baby every time I read it so be prepared to cry...She's very open and candid with her grieving process. She answers questions people don't dare to ask parents who have lost a child (along with some you shouldn't ask.) She also posted pictures of the beautiful casket that was made by her father. She is a rock and her testimony is so bright. With her permission, I am sharing her blog with others because I know we can all learn and grow from her experience and example. If you have time to read it, please leave her a message of support, even if you don't know her!
Arah- you are so incredible and you have given me an Eternal perspective on life.. You remind me how important my role is as a mother. I am so grateful for your example and your strength. I truly feel blessed to have you as my friend. Please know that I am thinking of you, Matt, Brinley and the rest of your family.

Truly humbling.
I read her blog the other day and just cried. More because I just couldn't believe how amazing she is and how open she has been about her daughter. What a beautiful family and what an amazing mother. You are lucky to know her.
Thanks for sharing this. I love how open she is about her experience. What a wonderful woman and special baby.
The funeral was truly amazing. It was an honor to be there and to feel the sweet spirit. Thanks for sharing with everyone you know Janet... I am sure those reading her blog from yours are now including the Kunz family in their prayers as well.
Hugs,
Kim
