To start things off, we received a beautiful piece of mail which contained Cole's birth certificate. This is just one more tiny victory for us. I have found out that some states do not recognize babies who live a small amount of time as a "live birth". I just praise God that is not an issue we have in Kentucky.
I am so grateful to have this piece of paper that says
Our son had life.
We also received another present in the mail this past week.
Steve and I were trying to find something special to give to those who made donations in Cole & Lila's name... ...and this is it!
One side has Lila & Cole Yager and the other side says Jeremiah 29:11. That has been our foundation scripture since the beginning of our journey and we still stand strong on it today. If you are wearing this bracelet and someone asks you what that means, I hope you will tell them that God has a plan for all of us. Plans to prosper us and not harm us. Plans to give us hope and a future.
That scripture is not just for people who lose babies. It is for every.single.person. No matter what your situation is. God has a plan.
If you have already made a donation, we will be sending a bracelet to you soon. And if you decide to make one in the future, whether it be $1 or $1000, a bracelet will be waiting for you:) If you have a cause that is close to your heart and would prefer to donate in their names there instead, that is wonderful too, just let us know...
And to wrap the week up, we finally have a marker for our children. As Deacon Bob said as he blessed their grave, "They finally have a permanent mark in history". They were here, and they were real, and now all the generations to come will know that Lila & Cole Yager made a mark in this world.
