***UPDATE*** If you write a post to your readers, let me know… I’ll link to your blog in this post! I’ve had a few people tell me already that they are “compelled” to write one! Yippee. (see links at bottom of post)
(on behalf of my sweet-blogging-friend Danielle <---- see her beautiful family to the left) to get HELP from some very “well-known” Blog Authors, AND, any of you “oh-so-wonderful-but-not-well known YET”, blog authors!
4 To be exact. (Angie, MckMama, Sarah Mae, and Sarah Markley) I’m sure you’ve heard of them, love them, follower them, etc etc etc…
I thought about contacting OPRAH or ELLEN… but then thought, why not ask help from these wonderful, GODLY, blog authors instead? See their beautiful pics below:

The Best Days of My Life
Ladies, please understand that I am not naive to that fact that you are VERY busy, and that you may get MANY requests such as this…
but I’m begging you to help, in any way you can…
Whether that might be just praying that they get the signatures they need, by signing it yourself…
Read her short story below:
On June 1, 2009, Danielle’s son, Wyatt Nathaniel Finchum, was born at 10:03 a.m. He had a faint heartbeat and was breathing, which was a miracle, as doctors advised them that they would probably never see him alive. He died two minutes later. However, due to Tennessee’s definition of live birth, her doctor was not able to medically acknowledge his life. He was listed as stillborn.
She won’t deny the fact that her son was dying as soon as he was born, but he lived… he fought to breathe for those two minutes and his life deserves to be acknowledged. Danielle would like to get Tennessee’s definition of live birth amended to a more acceptable definition that recognizes life no matter how short it may be.

This the first of seen of this petition and would gladly sign it, but did it need to be signed by last week? This post made me cry…how could anyone tell a mother her child whom she carried for so long, whose face she gazed into as he took his last breath…how could anyone say he never lived??? This tears me up and makes me angry.
