I couldn't imagine how horrible it would be if I didn't believe that I will see my daughters again. I don't think I could carry on. I've followed your blog for a long time, and have seen you struggle in your faith. But I remember when you were pregnant with the snowflakes, and all of us who pray were praying very hard for them and you! Don't you ever think that perhaps it was God who allowed the snowflakes to come into your womb and to survive and now thrive as well as they are?? Why is it that people only want to show love for God when He does good things? I have lost two daughters to a terrible disease... I KNOW what it is like. I have had a really hard time trusting God, too. How could he take TWO of my children, when we prayed so hard? It is NOT fair. But I have to think of the other miracles in life, too... I will never understand why He had to take 2 daughters, but He also didn't have to give me three healthy ones. Who am I to decide when He is worthy of my love and trust? Please don't give up on God... I want to see you in Heaven with Peyton, too!

Sorry that Peyton is not with you, sorry that you had to see her hurt, sorry that you couldn't fix her, sorry that you had to make such hard decision concerning the life of someone that you loved so much, sorry that you are sad. All Mom's have minutes/hours/days where we feel overwhelmed, anxious, not grateful enough. Don't beat yourself up. Small children are hard!! I read a quote last week that really stuck with me....the days are long, and the years are short. True and bittersweet. Love and prayers today and always.

But you are a terrific mom. As for the grief, today is a hard hard day. Cut yourself some slack and allow yourself to feel what you need to. And even if it is just a latte at the Starbucks drive through, do something today that is just for you. You need to. And don't expect too much of yourself today. If you need to stay in your pj's, fine. If you need to set the kiddos in front of tv so you can cry...or lay down...or eat ice cream...fine. Today is the hardest day of the year. There are no rules other than to do what you need to do in order to get through it.Kate D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18353763581660829267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163203822642488592.post-27981372756340507842013-10-02T10:36:26.835-04:002013-10-02T10:36:26.835-04:00:*( I'm so sorry Peyton was taken too soon, I...:*( I'm so sorry Peyton was taken too soon, I wish u comfort on this day and every day, its so not fair Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163203822642488592.post-31471524458013607252013-10-02T09:48:24.099-04:002013-10-02T09:48:24.099-04:00Sending you lots of hugs, today, and always. <3...Sending you lots of hugs, today, and always. <3Nika M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15716308480356654189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163203822642488592.post-53597632962707901702013-10-02T08:10:08.650-04:002013-10-02T08:10:08.650-04:00Wishing you some peace, please be kind to yourself...Wishing you some peace, please be kind to yourself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163203822642488592.post-21362636590830345802013-10-02T08:03:06.526-04:002013-10-02T08:03:06.526-04:00Huge (((hugs)))Huge (((hugs)))Jenn @Treasuring Lifes Blessingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11064643472453403394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163203822642488592.post-67245670759719745292013-10-02T02:47:05.555-04:002013-10-02T02:47:05.555-04:00I want to print this out and read it often.
