Your comments and words are faith building. I always pray that God will give you both divine strength and that Creed's purpose in the womb and when he is born was to teach us agape love! Creed you are so loved by many!

God selected you to be Creeds parents for a reason... honoring his life is a beautiful commitment and showing your pain so openly is touching. It seems to me youve been picked for this journey for a reason that may or not become so apparent for some time , but I can promise you that your story will be comforting and encouraging parents that will be in this situation in the future. I pray for Creed to know how much he is already loved !

I feel as though the answer to all of your questions is YES, yes to each and every one. You have a remarkable ability to bring emotions to the surface, to make us feel that choke in our throat, even for those of us who do not a hold a belief in a higher power, and you are gifted. As such, you do have a mission and a purpose,  and through you, so does Creed. You and your family are in the thoughts of every single person who reads this blog.

Tai- what you are doing is sharing a part of your life that makes us all take pause and think about the "whys".  But your words and the strength behind them also make us look at what we have and remind us to appreciate every minute we have with our friends and loved ones.  We all send prayers to your family and you are in our thoughts.

Enjoy every single moment with Creed! And he will be your guardian angel when he reaches the other side.

Update:  Five years ago today, on December 19, 2015, Creed Daniel DeSa passed away hours before birth.  Today I am saddened and privileged to announce the release of my book Living with a Baby Who Is Going to Die at Birth .  It is designed to help people find joy even in the painful seasons of their lives.  It shows that even an unborn child can live with purpose and encourage others to become closer to Jesus.  Thank you all for the comments and support you gave my wife Amira and I in our tough season five years ago.
