Sometimes the struggle to survive this awful sorrow is just too much to take.
When I see a young Father with his kids I feel ripped off for Will and Reese. Patrick was going to be such a great Dad! He wanted to be a Father so much! When I realize that Will and Reese aren't going to get the opportunity to know Patrick I wonder where the sense of that is? What is the justification, God? Please tell me! I don't understand!
Believe me, there are many of us that will tell stories about Patrick to Will and Reese. We'll tell them how much he loved them but it won't be the same! I want to see Patrick hold his kids and throw them up in the air laughing! I want him to hug and kiss them until they giggle uncontrollably! I would've loved to see Patrick teach them and play with them like a loving Daddy would do. I feel so jipped!

I don't know what to say to make it hurt less. But my heart aches for you. I will be praying for you.
I think the same things about Patrick when I see dad's with their kids. It just hurts my heart way too much, it's just not fair and I wish I had an explanation for it, but I can't even find the slightest reason why its ok. I am so sorry and always thinking of you :) xoxoxoxo
My heart aches for Will and Reese. For you and Erynn. It's not fair. I was 13 when I lost my dad. Sending you all hugs!
this is what kills me the most. Sometimes I wonder what our babies did to deserve this. Why them?
Erynn,
I didn't mean to make you sad. Nobody did anything to deserve this especially those sweet babies. It's just hard to make sense of it all and I needed to vent. I trust that our heavenly Father will meet ALL of our needs in the years to come. I love you! ♥
You can tell how much he loved Will in just a few pictures and how much he would have loved that baby girl. Sometimes life just doesnt make sense. xo
oh no, it's ok Debi! Please vent all you need to- I love when you blog. The hardest part for me is knowing what Bill and Patrick are missing out on. We both know how much they would be loving W&R!
Both you and Erynn were on my mind and my heart at Mass yesterday. The Gospel reading was from Acts, Chapter 14, and this particular passage, of course, reminded me of you . . .
20 And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antioch:
21 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith: and that through many tribulations, we must enter into the kingdom of God.
I have said this on Erynn's blog many times . . . I cannot even begin to fathom the "why" behind your suffering! I know it will bring you to Heaven, and I know, as you said, that our dear Savior will provide all that you need . . . but it is so unbelievably hard to understand!
I pray for you both as often as I can. God bless you.
Jasmine- your words are always so comforting. Thank you!
