Our July Shining Star: Libby

stacyat - 01:56am Jul 30, 2012 EST
Mom to Emilyn and Hailey (our 20 week angels) and Elim (our 38 week, full term miracle)!

Please join me in thanking our July Shining star for all that she has done and all that she is doing to make Share the wonderful community that it is! Libby (LibbyB), author of blog Hospitalized and Confused

Shortly after Libby was admitted to the hospital on bedrest in the hopes of saving her son's life her husband found Share when searching for support networks for families in similar situations. Sadly a month later sweet Marco Luis was born at twenty nine weeks and four days on October 6, 2009 and passed away peacefully in the arms of his parents shortly after. Almost two years later they were blessed with their miracle Lucia, born full term and healthy.

Since joining Share Libby has been an amazing addition to our Welcoming Committee, making sure that all the new posters and long-timers are being listened to and cared for. She has participated in her local March of Dimes walk and has offered her time as a back up facilitator to her loss support group.

Her all time favorite thing about Share is being able to connect with others and feels blessed to be part of such an incredible and supportive community!

Thank you Libby for all that you do and all that you are! We couldn't be any happier to call you a part of our helping community!

A moment in our arms, a lifetime in our hearts.  

Thank you Libby! I so vividly remember when you joined Share and all of us rooting for you and Marco- I remember his birthday well.

It's been such an honor to share your journey with you, and the support that you provide other families is genuine and kind. We're so lucky to have you as part of the Share family!

Hugs,
Lauren
