A Trisomy 18 Angel
Lillian has the most kissable nose, the most gorgeous blue eyes, curls that went on for miles, and a smile that can brighten every star in space. She is an absolute warrior and smiled through every storm that she sailed through. I can’t think of anyone happier than our girl. She has the BEST laugh.
Diagnosed with Trisomy 18 at 27 weeks gestation, we were told not to expect Lils to survive to birth and if she did, she would have a less than 5% chance to see her first birthday. Lillian was with us for 4 years, 10 months, and 12 breathtakingly beautiful days before a surgeon perforated through her liver during a routine procedure that lead to her leaving her earthy home for heaven. She is a rule breaker in the very best way and even till her very last breath she didn’t let her extra chromosome stop her.
Lillian changed the life of so many people and brought thousands closer to the Lord. People who have never prayed got on their knees for our girl. We know that her story is not over—she will continue making an impact on everyone who hears her story. We are so proud of her not only for being as brave as she was but for the impact she made on this earth and we cannot wait to see her again heaven side.
Lils, mama misses you more than words could ever express. You changed me for the better and I promise I will continue to keep telling your story and spreading your love to the world. I love you more than life itself. One day closer to you!

This is the absolute sweetest tribute to your girl. My dear friend, Emily, has Sara, a trisomy 18 warrior. I knew nothing about your company a week ago, when an ad popped up on facebook. I read about your sweet Lillian and about your hope in the promise to see her again in heaven one day. Your bold declaration of faith is both encouraging and applauded. I lost my son, Walker, in 2021, in utero, to Trisomy 21 and my greatest joy is knowing I’ll see him in heaven.
I feel so blessed to have had your ad pop up for me. It feels so personal. We received our first order today, so quickly! I have to say, the quality is amazing and just cemented our loyalty as your customers. Thank you for being real…and really amazing!
Recently received the blanket I ordered! It is easily my daughters favorite blanket to lay with now. It’s so soft and way bigger than expected to cover her whole body! 10/10 recommend! 🥰
