Dear Sweet Paetyn

So tonight daddy and I got you kids to bed and were down stairs and all of a sudden we heard little footprints walking around upstairs lol we both agreed we would let ya do your thing for a bit before we went upstairs to tuck you in again. So I jumped on my iPad and was reading the news on KSL when I came acrossed this sad story of a little 4yr old  Midway girl who 4yrs ago had a heart transplant and was able to live & have hope so family decided to celebrate by taking her to see her 2 favorite characters at DisneyWorld "Mickey & Minnie Mouse. After the family arrived in FL the little girl out of no where got sick and her body started to resist the transplant she then went into cardiac arrest while doing a biopsy and sufford some brain damage. They put her on life support as they decided days later to remove her off. She never did get to go to DisneyWorld. As I listened to this story with daddy by my side we both began to cry.. We still heard you upstairs so I wiped my tears away and decided to go check on you. You were in your bed with a book in the dark. I went and laid next to you as I just started to give ya hugs and kisses you asked me to hold your hand which is something you love to do when we are laying down lol. I decided to sing our song" You are my sunshine." You started to sing with me & I broke down in tears! You stopped in the middle and said "mommy I'm making you sad?" I said no Paetyn you make mommy so happy and that's why I am crying. You said "you are mad at me?" I said no sweetheart some times I do get upset with you but it's because I don't like seeing you and your brother fight with each other it makes me sad. "Ooh I love you mommy" you said "I love you my little princess." We then continued to sing our good night songs together and snuggle. This was a moment I had to share for you to read when you get older because I can't even imagine the heart ache this family is going through right now. It's not even something I can or want to think about with our little Angel girl you are so special to us and bring so much joy into our life's and we love you more then you will ever know!! Love you Bugs:)

Oh she is so sweet. I always think about that. I hate it. I can't even imagine loosing a child, especially now having one. What a good mama writing down moments she will love to read about later. We are excited for you guys to come back to Utah!

That is such a sad story. Grandma told me about that. Thanks for making me cry. When you hear of stories like that they really make you realize what is important. Paetyn is such a little sweetheart.
