Today we unexpectedly had to say goodbye to our sweet little girl. The infection was too much for her little body to recover from. The doctors and nurses did all that they could and were willing to keep trying but Cait let us know that she'd had enough, she opened her eyes and looked right at Mom and Dad and told us "No more." They then took her off all the tubes and we were able to hold her as she left this world. We were able to have 16 days with this precious little girl and we look forward to the day we can be with her again. We would write more but emotions are too high tonight. Thank You everyone for all your love and support.

Dale and Candice,
ReplyDeleteI really wish that we could be there right now. We are so sorry, but I believe that just by being here for such a short time, Cait fulfilled her mission on earth and is now waiting to be with the rest of you when the time comes. I will keep you in my prayers, for the next few days will not be easy. We are thinking of you and hope you can feel our love and sympathy.
Love you all, Matt, Kristine and kids.

ReplyDeleteThank you for letting us share this journey with you, in a small way. Your love and testimonies have brought peace and the spirit of Christ's unconditional love to our home. We love you. We continue to pray for you and think of you. It was nice to hear that you held sweet Cait at last and that through your faith and testimonies, you will hold her again.
ReplyDeleteWe are so sorry that you guys are going through this. I am glad that you got to be with Cait long enough to know a bit about her though. Thank you both for letting us know about her too.
ReplyDeleteDale and Candice,
ReplyDeleteI know all to well how you guys are feeling right now and that there are no words that can help that. We now both have little Angels watching over us that we will one day be able to be with again.
Please don't hesitate to call me and talk. That is the one thing that helped me through my horrible time, was talking to someone else that had been through it and knew how I was feeling.
We Love you both,
Sarah
