Having a baby is truly one of the greatest joys of life. During the pregnancy, mothers and fathers dream about what their baby will look like and be like in the future. However, these dreams come to a screeching halt if there are complications with the pregnancy.

Krysta Davis has lived through this nightmare of hope and then devastation. When pregnant with her daughter Rylei, she learned that the unborn child was suffering from a series of complications while in the womb.

Davis was sadly informed by her doctors that her unborn daughter suffered from anencephaly, a fatal birth defect that is defined by sections of the skull and brain not developing properly.

Most babies born with the condition do not live more than a few minutes. In many cases, the parents decide to terminate the pregnancy prior to the birth, knowing that there is no chance for survival.

Davis made the difficult and brave decision to not terminate the pregnancy. She wanted to carry Rylei as long as possible so that the baby could go on to help other sick infants in need of organs.

Rylei Arcadia Diane Lovett was born on Christmas Eve weighing in at six pounds. Rylie shocked both her parents and doctors when she survived for an entire week.

Photographer Clarissa Tilley gave up so much of her time to document this precious week so that Davis and her partner Dereck Lovett would have so many sweet reminders of their daughter to hang on to forever.

After Rylei left this earth, her mother selflessly donated the baby's organs in an effort to help as many other people as possible. Rylei's spirit will certainly live on forever because of this generous act.

The sweet pictures of Rylei's short time in this world must be seen by everyone. One little girl certainly touched the lives of many in her short time here on earth. After you have had the chance to see this touching photos, be sure to spread the love to everyone that you know so that the memory of little Rylei will continue to live on.
