Living With Purpose
Melissa was so sweet when she sent me her story. She said that March 5th is the boys birthday, and if I could, it would mean a lot to have their story around that day. Of COURSE I could share it this week! A bittersweet birthday, one here, one in heaven, but we celebrate both […]
Today we hear from Laura D. who is sharing her TTTS journey with us. Her girls Elena and Diana are double survivors (thankfully!) but they still had a tough journey to make it here alive. Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome is never an easy battle. Thank you Laura for sharing your girls and your story […]
Jodie and I connected through the TTTS Survivors with Guardian Angels group. Someone asked me one time what that means. It means we have one twin that survived, and one twin that is the surviving twins guardian angel. Just like Kathryn is to Tiny, Cole is to Cameron. Jodie’s angel baby, Cole, also the recipient, […]

Happy 3rd Birthday to TTTS Survivors Brady and Brenden! Brady and Brenden actually turned 3 last Tuesday, 6/24/14 but I am a week late! I originally shared Brady and Brenden’s story in October 2012, so they were due for another shout out anyway! Here is the original post: Today we share my friend Brandi’s story. […]
One of the best things about the TTTS Community is the level of support, commitment, and dedication we have to each other. Each time I share a story, we hope to spread awareness, education, and hope. TTTS is a monster. No matter what your outcome, it’s a bitch. Plain and simple. Today Shasta tells about […]
This week I’d like to highlight a story of my friend Andrea. Her twins were born too early, and neither survived. Since then, Andrea has been a major part of the TTTS Support Community, and each year organizes the effort to send out Mother’s Day Cards to moms from their TTTS angels. Sharing the stories […]
If you are a TTTS parent and you don’t know about Teeny Tears, you need to learn about it. It’s a fabulous service organization to any one who has lost a baby… you’ll read more farther down. I want to feature the founder and her TTTS story, and to say that I have finally brought […]
Congratulations to Brooke and Willis – for raising over $2000 for the TTTS Foundation with their Walk for Life! Today I want to share another TTTS Tuesday story. I was just recently introduced to Bethany, and she wrote a beautiful piece about her sons, Braxton and Connor. Braxton and Connor My name is Bethany and […]
I think one of the hardest elements of losing one of my twins to Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) is the fact that I feel so cheated for my survivor. For me, as the mother, I deal with somewhat of an identity crisis. I am a mommy of twins with no twins. I worry […]
TTTS Survivor Yes, she is. She fought hard to be here, and she deserves every moment of joy this life can bring her. My girls, Kathryn and Charis were born on December 10, 2011. One day after my 35th birthday. Two days later, Kathryn, who had severe hydrops and congenital heart disease caused by the […]
Today for TTTS Tuesday I am proud to highlight my friend Megan, who created and has grown Teeny Tears into an amazing project in memory of her son Dex. Teeny Tears is an organization that provides diapers for preemie and micropreemie babies who pass away before or after birth. Megan is just an incredible and […]
This week Shann tells the story of her boys’ Penn and Cruz and their journey through Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome. It’s always strange reading these stories because sometimes they can be so similar. Like when Shann talks about her experience of being on continuous monitoring in the hospital, and how once a nurse had […]
TTTS Tuesday Sharing the stories of other mothers who have gone through the nightmare of Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) can be so incredibly heartbreaking. But we do it for awareness. And the hope that the awareness we are sharing may help save even ONE family from the heartbreak we have experienced is good […]
