Flutter...By...IzzyJane

I remember so clearly the moment i saw some light in my darkness. it was just a flicker.
Danny and I were driving in the car. He turned to me and said "I want to start a foundation in IzzyJanes name." I was in the middle of one of my many melt downs, and I stopped. "what?" I asked. "Ya! I want to help families that have to go through this. Many families have gone through it and unfortunately many will ahead of us."
That's when I saw hope.
I have never really needed as much HOPE in my life as I need and rely on it now. But I saw it. It was like it fluttered by. That afternoon we were sitting on my sister Jeni's back porch, our "happyplace" and once again I was in a middle of a breakdown, Danny turned to me and whispered "Do you see that? A big yellow butterfly has been flying around us all afternoon. I think its IzzyJane".
I stopped crying once again and smiled, a true smile.
From that moment on I knew that's what we needed to do. we needed something to help us start to heal. We needed to help as many families as we can, so that they too will see Hope in their future.

We came up with the name FlutterBy IzzyJane. I love it. It reminds me of that day when the butterfly was fluttering by us. It reminds me of how soft and precious our IzzyJane is. It makes my heart skip a beat for the pain that other Families are having to suffer, and then it skips one more beat for the hope that we can offer. We are going to make "Forever" bracelets for the moms and babies and donated them to the hospitals. When I think of what really meant the most to me while I had my brief moment with sweet IzzyJane, it was knowing that we wore matching bracelets forever. She is mine forever, she will be in my heart forever, I know she is with me forever. FOREVER. I touch, see, and feel my bracelet daily, never taking it off  and like Izzy, this bracelet is apart of me forever. For all the moms that have suffered this pain you are all apart of me. For the moms that haven't yet gone through this and unfortunately it happens to 1 out of 160 pregnancies, I hope to give you some comfort. I hope to Flutterby and give you some ease with financial burial costs. With the money that we raise we are going to make these bracelets and also donate some money to help with the unexpected and brutal burial cost. We want to Flutterby like our IzzyJane did to us and to help others that are feeling this pain.  Flutter...by...IzzyJane... please Flutterby
