I don't typically post twice in one day, but I am so excited to share these I just couldn't wait!! Before Henry was ever born, I decided I wanted to someday make a quilt with some of his onesies. I love the idea of t-shirt quilts, and thought this would be a fun way to preserve some baby memories. When Henry passed away, I wanted to make sure that it happened. Tim and I went through Henry's clothes, and picked out a stack of onesies that brought back memories, that memorialized our monster, or that were just our favorites. Then we asked Grandma Dawn if she knew anyone that could put these together for us into a quilt keepsake. Grandma Dawn herself took on the challenge, and we couldn't be happier with the results!! Now we have the treasured keepsake I hoped for, and it's even one that we can cuddle up with. I've shared pictures of Henry in many of these onesies, and now we have the onesies preserved in this beautiful work of art. THANK YOU Grandma Dawn, for the time and the love you put into this...we LOVE it!
Meet Henry
Henry's Story
Henry Leland Seretta was born on April 14, 2014. This little monster invaded our hearts even before he was born. He was a completely healthy and happy baby, until he started getting an ear infection and colds in mid-October. We finally got rid of the ear infection, but the cold symptoms never fully disappeared. Over the weekend of November 8 & 9, Henry got significantly sicker. He was admitted to Children's Hospital in Omaha on November 10, 2014, and was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia on November 11, 2014. He fought hard for nearly two weeks, before passing away on November 22, 2014. This blog depicts our journey through the grief of losing Henry. If you would like to read more about his medical journey, you can visit his CaringBridge page. More photos and community posts can be found at our Hope for Henry Facebook page. Thank you for sharing this journey with us!
