I realize that you think you could provide what's best for Carly..but it's it selfish to think she would be better with you?? Every time you mention Carly's death you mention that you need her, or God needs her. I don't think either is as true as perhaps she needs where she is now. In heaven, no one will judge her, and she's complete. She's perfect..although I think she always was. And she's pain free. Would it have been better for her to die slowly..to suffer for months before finally succumbing to illness?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255951012222677498.post-32935333787804819872011-04-06T00:42:38.427-04:002011-04-06T00:42:38.427-04:00I check in here every once in a while.

She was born on April 27, but we are having her first birthday party on April 23. You'll be in my thoughts that day. I do wish/hope/pray that you would really reconsider your thoughts on God. It is not fair what happened. Your daughter should not have been taken from you like that. It truly is heart breaking. But, I do not think that God is punishing or with-holding from us. There are some things that are just meant to be written in the story of our lives. Unfortunately, this was the path for your sweet, angel and your family. But I know that God is there. He can give comfort, but we have to accept it. I am so sorry that you have to go through this. It is certainly every parents worst fear. I hope you can somehow find peace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255951012222677498.post-43621009311766031582011-04-02T18:49:28.342-04:002011-04-02T18:49:28.342-04:00My name is Merideth.

I celebrated Carly with you, I got angry with you when you were angry, and finally my heart breaks with you and I have cried my eyes out reading over the past year. Unfortunately it doesn't matter really what I say, I want to offer some measure of comfort, I want to offer support, I want to take this pain away from you. But I can't <br />:-( What I will say is I am grateful to you for opening your lives and heart and sharing Carly with the world. And please know that although I cannot release you from your pain, that Carly will live on in my heart. I send you love and hugs, since that is all I can do. ♥<br />MeridethMeridethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255951012222677498.post-45248526515933533332011-03-31T19:23:08.245-04:002011-03-31T19:23:08.245-04:00That pic of Carly in the red dress was my favorite...That pic of Carly in the red dress was my favorite. I still pray for you and your family. And yes, God is tough enough to take your anger. I believe with all my heart he was there to escort her straight up to Heaven.

To question whether or not there is a "God."<br /><br />When someone says "Our prayers were answered... God saved our child..."<br /><br />My thought always is.... "So what... that child is better than this one? That child's parents prayed harder? Or had more people to pray for them?"<br /><br />You have every right to be angry. <br /><br />I am angry FOR you and I don't know any of you. I just have a little girl exactly the same age as Carly... who picked out a blue Easter dress.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255951012222677498.post-11932805609022445432011-03-30T17:11:58.902-04:002011-03-30T17:11:58.902-04:00I'm glad you let her get the red dress..I'm glad you let her get the red dress..Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10792117187001612101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255951012222677498.post-79355056050473735802011-03-30T12:28:55.032-04:002011-03-30T12:28:55.032-04:00And what a lovely dress it is.

He can handle it. You're not shut out for it and certainly I do not think differently of you because of it. There's nothing in life that compares to this kind of hurt that you know. <br /><br />Always thinking of you.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17742093456736039171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255951012222677498.post-80318794263995136052011-03-30T12:12:21.744-04:002011-03-30T12:12:21.744-04:00That picture is one of my favorites of Carly!
