I know its still hard sometimes..but from reading your posts, youve become stronger and stronger each time. I admire you and your courage to stay positive and strong.

I too lost my daughter and then my husband and I wanted to share this with you. There is a place that is great for grievance that helped me and my boys alot. Its called the Sharing Place the number is 801-466-6730.<br />When you guys are ready please give them a call they are a great source and place to go to get some grievance counseling. Its nice to know that all your emotions and thoughts are perfectly normal for people who have had such a great loss to deal with. They helped me and my family and I hope they can help yours too.<br /><br />With much love, ChelsieChelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10376912533476294155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926880480919201378.post-43899990706212707662009-12-21T09:54:02.740-07:002009-12-21T09:54:02.740-07:00Your pictures are amazing, The NILMDTS organizatio...Your pictures are amazing, The NILMDTS organization is so great, they also took pictures of my beautiful girl when she had passed as well.

The pictures you posted are amazing, the peace is so easily felt! That organization did pictures for my friends of their little SMA angel and they are just incredible too-what a gift to cherish for years to come. I can't imagine how difficult these days are for you but I hope each day there are moments of calm, moments of peace and momenst you just feel the love of Kenzie wrapping you in her arms-she is ALWAYS with you. The love of a daughter is forever! Although we have never met I feel so much for your family, and feel like Kenzie has taught me so much about making the most of each day, making the world a better place as she has and will continue to do through you and your story!<br />Love EmEmmanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926880480919201378.post-25927122144372670162009-12-19T23:05:13.331-07:002009-12-19T23:05:13.331-07:00What incredible pictures!

And one day when we are parents I hope that we can be even half of what you guys are. I honestly think that those pictures of Makenzie are the cutest picture of her, and you can tell that she is happy and in peace. <br /><br />I wish we could have talked at the funeral, but by the time Stephan got off work cause (he works graves, and we have one car) we were late, we stayed for a little bit, but I felt bad we were there sence it was more for family sence we had just missed the viewing. I hope you know that were both here for you guys. <br /><br />And I hope you find comfort in your angel we got you guys. Stephan gave me a angel statue after my miscarriage and told me to always know that we created a angel, that was watching over us. And I wanted to pass down to you guys the same thing. <br /><br />Cause you guys created a angel that so many of us look up to be. <br />Thank you for keeping us all updating and creating a story of a angel, that in some way we all found comfort in.<br /><br /> Stephan and I would love to go to dinner sometime with Ryan and you when you guys feel up to it. Call me or text me! Love you guys!♥ Stephan & Michelle & Ashlyn ♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/16545111544864609472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926880480919201378.post-8514403421988148172009-12-19T13:09:33.661-07:002009-12-19T13:09:33.661-07:00Kendra, thanks for being such an incredible Mom fo...Kendra, thanks for being such an incredible Mom for Mckenzie, even more, thanks for being an icredible daughter for me. love momAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926880480919201378.post-84028552961230202682009-12-19T10:21:39.164-07:002009-12-19T10:21:39.164-07:00Kendra - Reading your blog helps me feel close to ...Kendra - Reading your blog helps me feel close to you. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. You are an amazing person and I admire your strength and faith. Makenzie is absolutely beautiful. I have never seen such a lovely baby. She is a blessed spirit and is loved by so many. You are loved as well. With time your hurt will mend, there will always be pain but it won't be as extreme. Take your time and lean on your family, friends, and the savior for comfort. Christ knows exactly how you feel - he knows what it is like to have a broken heart, and because of his atonement he knows how to sucker his children. Go to him he will give you comfort.

I am grateful that she was able to go without you having to make that call. I am grateful you felt the angels who were there to take her to heaven. I know that angels surround us always, but especially during times of death. I am grateful you were able to feel the peace they bring.
