On August 6, 2010, at 18 weeks gestation, our baby boy was diagnosed with anencephaly. The doctors told us that our sweet baby did not have much of his brain or skull, and that there was no way he would survive. They say that 95% of pregnancies diagnosed with anencephaly are terminated. We knew that we must give our baby boy life.
After 42 weeks, Baby Timothy Frank was born on January 25, 2011 at 5:40 pm, truly "Tiny Tim" at 4lb 15 oz. He was a fighter - he needed to be born alive to share his liver cells to save other babies, and he did just that. He took one breath and left us only seconds later to be with the Lord. We miss him so much but are so proud of what his little life is accomplishing.
This website is to keep Timothy's memory alive and share bits of our journey with our precious little boy. Every life is precious and has purpose - Timothy was able to accomplish so much in his short little life and we are so honored to have been chosen to be his mommy and daddy. Our hope is that Timothy's story will encourage others to give their children a chance to live, to tell their own story, and fulfill their purpose.
To God be the Glory.

Happy Heavenly 4 Month Birthday
Your big sister just loves babies! I know she would have adored you - but you had other work to do. Your story continues to inspire people around the world!
Today I saw the lady who helped mommy bring you into the world Timothy. Her eyes sparked with love and awe as she spoke of you and remembered you. She has brought thousands of babies into the world, yet your feet and hands are so special to her and so many of us. When I long to see you and hold you again, it reminds me of how much God our Father will love to hold me and love me when I get to heaven. It changes my whole perspective of being here and where I'm going. Thanks to you. I love you Tiny Tim. Love, Aunt Toey
Lots of love to you and Timothy
