Halfway through Keri Young’s pregnancy, she and her husband, Royce, were blindsided with devastating news: their baby girl didn’t have a brain. In the blink of a moment, joy-filled expectation turned excruciatingly terminal.

What happened in the following months was tragic, heart-wrenching, and shockingly beautiful. To be honest, it feels ridiculously insufficient to try and conjure up adequate words—you’ll just have to join us at The Messy Table.
