I read this with half smiles half tears in my eyes while holding my sleeping five month old daughter. I cannot image the range of emotions that Tracy and her family had to endure. During the first half of my pregnancy I was told that there was a large chance of a chromosomal abnormality only to be told later that was a mistake and a misread ultrasound. I spent the last third of my pregnancy with gestational diabetes and being told that a million things could be wrong with my baby because of that. I was so scared and stressed but calm knowing that no matter what it would work out in some way in the end for the better of everyone involved. And it did. I now have a beautiful and perfect little girl and I am much more cautious about what she will eat as a young child and the ideas of better portion ratios of protein to sugars for absorption to help her grow up and live healthier than I ever knew how. I recommend this read. It will make you treasure what you have and see the good even in the darkest of grey areas. ( ) If you read this book by Tracy Ramos, you better have tissues handy. This book is compiled of letters dedicated to Tracy's unborn child. Almost everyday, Tracy would write something to her unborn daughter, Darcy, who was diagnosed with a fatal disease. Tracy writes of handing her struggles over to God, and fully trusting Him with Darcy's life. This book also tells of the power of prayer, how one unborn child can touch the lives of so many people-family, friends, and strangers. It's a mother's struggle with doing God's will or her will. It's a story of lives changed forever by one little girl. A truly amazing movement of God. I recommend this book to everyone. It will leave you thinking about the wonderful value of a single life-even one that is yet to be born. A definite 5 star rating in my book! no reviews | add a review
Letters to Darcy originated as a blog, written by a young woman from Texas named Tracy Ramos. The blog was comprised of a series of diary entries that Tracy wrote to her unborn daughter, Darcy, over the course of approximately nine months. Early in her pregnancy, Tracy learned Darcy had a rare, terminal genetic condition known as Trisomy 18. Of people diagnosed with this disorder, about 95% die in utero, and for surviving infants who live to term, less than 10% survive their first year of life. Tracy's response to her unborn daughter Darcy is an incredible testament to the sanctity of human life. You will walk with Tracy and Darcy through each entry and see how lovingly mom Tracy cares for her unborn child. Through her simple, honest, and intensely personal entries, Tracy beautifully and convincingly answers the question: When does life begin? No library descriptions found. |
