{Cora}

joy's hope is the blog of the mother of whom's family we photographed in Californina.
she is an amazing woman and an amazing mother and on her blog i came across
the story of baby Cora. She was 11 months old when she lost the battle against cancer.
i wanted to share both of these blogs with you and encourage you all to read Cora's story.
she and her family are from kansas and are just the all american family just like everyone
of us. it really got me how fast their world was turned upside down.
you can go back to the beginning of their blog, that is like everyones... a way for family
to keep up with everything going on in our all so busy lives and see how if goes from
christmas, to january 12ths ear infection to january 25th when they find out something
more is going on besides the never ending ear infection, to february
8th when Cora passed away. in 2 weeks this family went from normal life to their only
child being taken away forever. it's a tear jerker but definalty deserves your time.
such a beautiful baby girl, a beautiful young family.
julie (of joy's hope) immediatly turned to her amazing craftyness by making
these cute little headbands to go towards rainsing money for Cora's Playgound,
a legacy for Cora. i am not posting this for you to feel the need to donate,
i am posting this story because it got to me and i wanted to share it with all of you.
So PLEASE check out these blogs and think of Cora~

Jamie I read this story yesterday, finding it thru your blog. I also listened to the recording of the memorial service and it broke my heart. I just wish that I had the strength that this family seems to have. We should all keep them in our prayers. Marsha
