When I first saw this topic populate on the sidebar, my heart sunk. Your Faith is the only "Faith" that I can recall on this site. There may be others here, but when I see or hear "Faith," your baby girl is the only one I think of. I didn't want to click it, I just didn't. Comparing my hesitation to what you must actually be going through is not even fair. I know that there is no way it can be comparable at all.
Well, here I am...I have finally visited this topic. My worst assumption, confirmed. I cannot believe that I am reading this. My heart aches for you, it simply is tearing apart and burning. What I am feeling though can't even be 1% of what you are feeling. I cannot imagine being in your shoes right now. Faith was such a miracle from the start. Her life would not have been possible without you. I am so tearful to write this. I have never even personally spoken to you, but I think I not only speak for myself when I say that I felt as though I know you, knew Faith, and had such a connection to her. Her story is one to be cherished and told for generations to come. She overcame every obstacle thrown at her. And you were right beside her.
I simply can't imagine losing my baby to anything. In the year and a half that I have been here, I feel as though Faith has resonated as a local hero, a mascot of sorts for IGW. Her beautiful face, her triumphant story. Your gorgeous angel will never be forgotten. I pray for you and your family that you find peace. Faith deserved many more years, but at no fault of your own. You gave her more than anyone ever thought she would have. You will see her someday, playing happily at the Bridge, with other iggies. Free of ailment, free of pain. In the meantime, she will always, ALWAYS be with you. She will always be near, and she will ALWAYS be such an important topic of inspiration not only in my life, but all of IGW - that I am sure of.
Rest in Peace sweet, sweet Faith. Fly amongst the angels, which is where you belong.
