From time to time, our blog will honor the memories of specific babies who are no longer with us. This week’s blog post is in remembrance of a precious baby girl named Layla. We met Layla’s mom at the cemetery where our son is laid.
***
About Layla:
Layla was born at seven months gestation.
Her favorite foods were sour foods, as her mom had a sour craving throughout pregnancy.
Layla’s mom prayed daily for Layla to be okay and would take her to church about three times a week.
Layla’s mom will always cherish the facts that Layla was a strong little girl and that she moved in a way to let her mom know she was okay.

Advice from Layla’s mom to parents who have lost a child:
It’s okay to seek help. “No one that hasn’t gone through it understands what us mothers feel because they were our babies.”
Note: Support groups are a great way to seek help. Read blog post on support groups here, and see links to additional supportive resources here.

We honor and cherish Layla’s life.
