If you are wanting answers, you can feel free to message me in private and I will answer them. Both her mother and I work, so it may take a little time to get to you, but I can assure that if you're truly wanting any answers, I will answer them.

the babie doesnt even have a brain come on this is not right i think its cruel and sick but whatever gets you off i guess

[Ratmtattat]

Actually, yes she did have a brain. It wasn't fully developed, but she could respond to stimulus. We had to wash her using a wet cloth, and it was a bit cool to the touch. As I put it against her skin, she squirmed to get away from it and made a really sour look. She also responded to sound. She definitely had developed quite a bit.

why would anyone even put themselves and theese babies through the pain of birth its cruel not to abort them!

[Ratmtattat]

She was born through a c-section, so there wasn't any ripping or any discomfort of her traveling through the birth canal. I responded to one of your comments already about how she could respond to stimulus. She did not have any signs of being in pain. At one point, she was sitting in a bassinet while we were talking with nurses. She started to cry, so I picked her up and she immediately stopped crying. She wanted to be held. During her whole life she knew nothing but our love for her.

your little princess is beautiful, im so sorry for the loss of your little angel, how long did she live for? if you dont mind me asking? your video was so beautiful it bought tears to my eyes, xxx

[sowswife02]

She was beautiful. It's been a year since our Noah was born with anencephaly.

They will always be missed.

@shawnapee How dare you come across someone's beautiul tribute to their daughter and make rude comments. No one asked you to share your negative thoughts or even watch this video, for that matter. As a parent, I am extremely offended by your remarks. She was absolutely beautiful and this video brought tears to my eyes. May God bless her family and give them the strength and courage to get through the pain and disrespect people like you bring along.

@shawnapee You think because a baby will not survive long past birth, they should not be born? That baby got to hear her mother and father's voice, feels their arms around her and kisses on her skin. She deserved to have that before returning to the Lord, and her parents had great love and strength to do that FOR HER. They were blessed by God to have that time (no matter how brief) with that Angel, and their selfless act will be rewarded in Heaven.

[missykayeallen]

Her life no matter how brief, had meaning and purpose. It is not for those to judge and criticize. She was God's most precious angel, here to teach the world a valuable lesson. Bless her and her family.

[ralucagymnast]

My heart is breaking as I watch this, but this little girl felt more love, care and compassion in her all-too-brief life than most people on here could ever understand. Those who say cruel, disrespectful things obviously never loved someone so much they would be willing to lay down their own life for them. I feel privileged to have seen your beautiful baby.

so sorry for your loss and the ignorance you ecountered on here for honoring your beautiful daughter!! God bless you

@shawnapee pt 6 the comments you made with grace and dignity. This family chose life over termination for a reason. A reason that is not any of your business. It was the right decision for them at that time. What would have happened if she delivered a perfectly healthy child and the tests performed during pregnancy were wrong? She may have aborted a healthy child. Those tests are not always fool proof. Giving human life a chance is noble, destroying human life is personal. Not for you to decide.
