Corinne Sophia was born on July 12th, 2011 at 1:27pm into the loving arms of her parents Emily and Ryan Moll at Mercy in Rogers, AR. Corinne immediately had medical complications and was helicoptered by the Angel One team to Arkansas Children’s Hospital in Little Rock. After several days of medical testing and amazing medical care Corinne was diagnosed with Zellweger’s Syndrome, a rare metabolic genetic disorder that affects normal brain development and leads to respiratory distress and in Corinne’s case heart failure. Corinne was back transported, again by the Angel One helicopter team, to Washington Regional Hospital in Fayetteville, AR so she could be loved by all of her friends, family, and big brother Evan. Corinne passed on August 10, 2011 at 9:16pm in the arms of her Parents.
Saturday afternoon we went to a poolside get together to celebrate what would have been Corinne’s 1st Birthday. Cole is VERY into birthdays these days, and wants to know exactly how old everyone is, so when we were pulling up to the party Cole asked me whose birthday it was and I told him it was Baby Corinne’s. Then he asked me how old she was turning and I had to explain to him that she would be 1 year old, but she wouldn’t be at the party because she went to Heaven when she was a tiny baby like Miller did. I reminded him about how we celebrated Miller’s birthday at Artex by planting a tree and releasing balloons to Heaven and he seemed to accept that. It’s so unfair for a 4 year old to have to process such deep information, but Evan and Cole have both been the sweetest, bravest, most understanding and compassionate Big Brothers that you could ever imagine.
