I wanted to say that I had agreed with Aunt Nancy's post. When I arrived at the funeral home and saw you, I was amazed at your strength and composure. I felt like I too needed to be strong for you and Anthony and I held in my tears. I too like Aunt Nancy came home and cried. I cried because I am so proud of how elegantly you have planned and carried out the funeral arrangements. I cried because I feel so sorry that Kyndra will not know her baby sister until they meet in heaven. I cried because it hurts me to know that you and Anthony are going through this. I cried because I am thankful for my beautiful healthy children and I don't know if I could handle something like this if it were to happen to me. I am sure that at times you don't feel as strong and you aren't sure how you are going to make it through the day, but then you do and you do it so gracefully. Lastly, I cried because in my career I see women come in day after day and deliver babies that they do not want, I see patients come in who have abused drugs and or alcohol during their pregnancy and still have healthy babies. I know that it is all in God's plan, but I don't understand why unwanting mothers and undeserving mothers are blessed with miracles and you and Anthony had to let your miracle go to Jesus so soon. I know that God has his reasons for doing things but sometimes I don't think I will ever fully understand his plan. I finally dried my tears and prayed for strength for myslef and for you and your family. I prayed for Carleigh, that she will grow and prosper in her new home in heaven. Something else I wanted to tell you is how honored I was to be able to hold your little angel in my arms. I will never forget the fact that you were willing to share her with me. Words cannots express the emotions I felt when you placed her in my arms. She was so beautiful and angelic. She looked like she was at peace and that was reassuring to me. I could definitely understand why you wanted to hold her and not put her down. I admire you Holly, you are such an incredible mother and you are so strong. Carleigh was blessed when God gave her to you. I cannot imagine what it will be like for you in the coming days. Please know that we are thinking of you every single day and are praying that God will continue to guide you through these trying times. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to call. <BR/><BR/>With Love,<BR/>Jayme and BryanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3142944844041536061.post-16753305346683255772009-04-06T04:07:00.000-04:002009-04-06T04:07:00.000-04:00What a lovely bracelet!

The minute I started reading it, I knew you were an amazingly strong woman and mother. I want to thank you for sharing your story with everyone...it has really opened my eyes to a lot of things and it makes me even more grateful for the small things in life. Your strength is inspiring and hopefully contagious also, as I know everyone could use more. Good luck with everything that comes your way. :)Jen McGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3142944844041536061.post-74513761789206068162009-04-04T11:26:00.000-04:002009-04-04T11:26:00.000-04:00I dont know you.

That's really cool that the hotel was so nice. I love the bracelet you got from My Forever Child.
