A few weeks after finding out about the boys, Savannah and Evan had a tragic thing happen. Savannah went into early labor and they lost their precious little boy. He was born at just over 22 weeks, but was as perfect as could be. I would never say that I understand or know how they felt, but my heart broke as I watched them go through all that pain.
Evan and Savannah were able to give their precious boy a name and blessing, and to spend a few precious hours with him. What a perfect baby, blessed to come to wonderful parents. Through it all Evan and Savannah have been great examples of strength, courage, kindness, and selflessness to Ammon and I. We love and appreciate them, and will look forward to meeting sweet little Oliver someday.

Ali, you are so so sweet. This post made me cry :), because I miss him so much, but for really good reasons too! It makes me happy to know that Evan and I have Oliver forever, but because of all of our wonderful temple covenants so does the rest of the family :). We look forward to being "complete" again when all of us can be together as family, aunts and uncles definitely included!
I can't fail to mention that you and Ammon have been especially so sweet throughout this whole experience. Evan and I have spent many nights talking about how much we love you two (and all the McBrides:)), and what a help you have been to us through everything. Maybe it was because we were so close in our pregnancies, but Evan and I felt such a surge of love from you and Ammon, then and even now. I can't even put in words how appreciative we are for the both of you. I'm grateful to Oliver for that, for bringing us closer together. We love you two, so much.
