Yesterday we took part in Story Corps. For those of you who don't know what it is, I suggest that you look into it, and see if perhaps they will be coming to a city or town near you. To tell our stories is so important, to talk about our babies, to share their short lives is so important. So anyways, yesterday was the day of our 1 hr reservation to talk about our life, and Birdie and the present. It was a 40 minute conversation, and Matt interviewed me...his questions were so thoughtful and perfect. We have been long time listeners to the friday morning Story Corps on our local NPR station, when we heard they were coming so close to us we knew it was something we had to take part in and so we did. Of course it was incredibly emotional at times during our conversation, but it felt so good to know that our story/Birdie's Story and Bunny's story will be heard by others and archived at the library of congress. What an exceptional opportunity.
I am going to try to figure out how to get the audio file onto the blog so you can hear our Story Corps conversation.

What a beautiful opportunity. I too am so glad that Birdie's story is preserved in such a unique way.
