What We're Dugan: A New Year
http://www.whatweredugan.com/2012/12/a-new-year.html
Monday, December 31, 2012. You have turned for me my mourning into. You have loosed my sackcloth. And clothed me with gladness,. Glory may sing your praise and not be silent. My God, I will give thanks to you forever! I have had such a hard time writing this blog - wanting to say the exact right words. But I'm not sure it's possible. I cannot say that I am sad to see 2012 go; it was a tough one. But, really, it was pretty good, too. We were able to fund a well in Uganda in Graham's honor. Fashion Friday:...

What We're Dugan: August 2012
http://www.whatweredugan.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 27, 2012. Ugh My blog got too deep again. Here's the rub: My son, Graham, died. I am overwhelmingly sad. Jesus died on the cross for my sins, rose again, and is now seated at the right hand of God in Heaven. I am thankful, grateful, joyful, and OK. Does that make sense? I think the byline on Angie Smith's book "I Will Carry You" says it best:. The Sacred Dance of Grief and Joy. I'm still really sad about losing Graham! I'm not OK - I am hurting. BUT - that was funny! So, in an effort to ti...

What We're Dugan: March 2013
http://www.whatweredugan.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 19, 2013. I got the email today that I've been waiting a long time for - or at least it seems a long time. You can read my previous post about Graham's well here. These are some of the most beautiful pictures I've ever seen. It is always special to see Graham's name somewhere - to see that he had life here on this earth. But when I see it on his well - giving water to 1200 people. Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again,. Will never be thirsty again.

What We're Dugan: October 2012
http://www.whatweredugan.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 5, 2012. Continued from this post. We woke up on Wednesday morning, October 5th, hoping to find out this had all been a dream. Or rather a nightmare. Even though, like I said before, the details are fuzzy from this day, I can still picture myself sitting on my brother's guest bed and crying big, fat alligator tears while writing this email. It still didn't feel real. The next appointment was with our fetal intervention doctor, who did a very thorough ultrasound on the baby. It lasted ...

Friday, February 22, 2013. Today, Matt and I went in for the follow-up appointment and the doctor was able to confirm what she thought she saw the week before.we are having a GIRL! I am still in a ton of shock, and don't know if I still really believe it. But we feel so blessed, regardless of gender, to know that we have a healthy baby right now. And then we had a little photoshoot, fun, too. :). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Share Your Story Saturday {Heather’s Story}. The Pathway- Tacoma, WA.

What We're Dugan: July 2012
http://www.whatweredugan.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 23, 2012. I can't believe we are more than halfway done with the summer. Weather-wise, it has been surprisingly nice. That is, until this past Saturday. We reached 108 degrees on Saturday, and it felt like stepping into an oven. It also brought back some memories of last summer. We went to youth camp and I was only 5 weeks pregnant. And it was HOT. And I was tired. Or that Parker was 2? Or that we lived on the second floor? Or that we had to, you know, buy groceries and carry them up stairs?

What We're Dugan: Graham
http://www.whatweredugan.com/p/graham.html
My second son, Graham Edward, was born on February 3, 2012 at 12:56 pm. He weighed 6 lbs., 8 oz. and was 18.25 inches long. He was born via c-section at 36 weeks gestation. He passed away peacefully at 4:45 pm, surrounded my his Mom, Dad, and big brother, Parker (3 years old). However, even with the surgery, the shunt was unable to fix the severity of his problems. We asked for them to bring us Graham and we were able to spend 2 hours holding and loving on him until Jesus called him home. Ethan and Emily .

What We're Dugan: Saving Lives this Christmas
http://www.whatweredugan.com/2012/12/saving-lives-this-christmas.html
Friday, December 7, 2012. Saving Lives this Christmas. I've had a lot of people ask me about how we're doing during the Holidays. It's a common question, for sure, but I don't really have a good answer. Maybe I'm in the minority here, and it may change at any time, but I don't feel like my grief really differentiates between holidays or not. So, we've got another idea. What if we could save lives in Graham's honor? Well, in comes Holden Uganda. It gives me chill bumps to think of a well across the world ...
