I lingered and studied the details of Katie's poses and beautiful face. I agree that the experience of losing Katie can never be called a gift, or a blessing in disguise. It is disrespectful of your journey and your horrible loss to call it that.<br /><br />As I often say, I've grown from the experience and I even can be appreciative of what I've learned but I was not chosen, Oscar was not chosen, and certainly not because we could handle it or because we are good parents. I just can't believe that's how it goes. <br /><br />Thinking of you!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11399324383367077919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994832747844483996.post-72091115292810324632009-12-17T23:13:15.562-08:002009-12-17T23:13:15.562-08:00Photo after photo after photo of that gorgeous gir...Photo after photo after photo of that gorgeous girl.

I can't stand it when people say, "Everything happens for a reason." They kept telling this when my dad's wife was in a horrendous car accident which left her completely incapacitated mentally and physically.<br /><br />Katie was such a beautiful, beautiful girl.Jason, as himselfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16630210317307544165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994832747844483996.post-59176228043938148402009-12-16T18:54:30.670-08:002009-12-16T18:54:30.670-08:00I know that you will miss her always.

I can't stop crying, or looking at her beautiful face in all these pictures. Maybe it's my hormones, but my heart is just absolutely breaking for you today, Karen. I can not wrap my head around what it would be like to lose a child. I can't even for one minute pretend to get it. It's unfathomable to me. I'm so truly, deeply sorry for your family's loss. I don't in any way want to lessen the significance of their loss and pain, but as a mother, I imagine your pain and grief is on a whole other plane from theirs. Oh my God, I just can't stop crying, so I guess I'll stop typing. Know that I'm sending you hugs, kisses, prayers and love!ChiTown Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09240876368610100419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994832747844483996.post-54420373965223051102009-12-16T10:40:39.938-08:002009-12-16T10:40:39.938-08:00Love these pics.

Such spunk and delight in those eyes. <br /><br />I do think about being chosen. Mary was chosen and she birthed the Messiah but also suffered terrible agony watching Him die on the cross. (it rains on the just and the unjust.) I remember thinking 'why me' and then followed that up with 'why not me'. It's a complex thing.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01256281745796890125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994832747844483996.post-1700941439596921812009-12-16T10:11:45.928-08:002009-12-16T10:11:45.928-08:00Loving you...and giving you a great big hug...Loving you...and giving you a great big hug...Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00240037715234570392noreply@blogger.com
