You are so amazing to me. You've been so strong and graceful navigating every difficult thing you've come across over the past few months. Your composure even now astounds me and I'm in awe of you. I think of you often and although I have no artistic skills to offer for your specific requests I pray that you find comfort and peace.
My husband and I are continuing to keep you, R, and Piper in our prayers. I have a friend who lost two singleton babies during her second trimesters within a year. Your healing process from this is going to be long and hard. My friend is just readying herself to make it back to normal routines eight months after her second loss. And that is okay. Take your time. Take every moment you need. I read your update from last night at the restaurant and just know that it's okay that you're not okay. Please know that this community really does care for you. And I'm sure that at any given moment one of us is thinking of you or praying for you.
Book title! Has me choked me. Hope today was step forward to healing for you both. Instead of cursing the snow that blankets me today I think of you and your family fondly and know it is a gift from them to you that touches so many that know their story and sent them love. Thanks boys, happy valentine's day little loves.

My condolences for your losses, I'm still sending thoughts, prayers and positive healing vibes to you and your family. Like many have said, your strength and resilience never ceases to amaze me. I'm very glad to hear that you are taking all the necessary steps to aid in your healing process. Much love to you and yours.
Thank you for the update, sweetie. So glad you are able to take some time away with Robert to try to achieve a tiny bit of respite and just be with each other. I love the tattoos, whatever you do will be so meaningful and a beautiful tribute to your darlings. I am artistically deficient so no help there, I'm sorry, but glad to see so many suggestions from others.
I am glad you are going to continue to write. I've always found writing therapeutic and your book will be a wonderful tribute to your boys and their lives. So many hugs and strength your way for every minute of every day.

Thanks so much for updating us. I'm so glad you and Robert are taking the weekend to be together and that you have help from your therapist moving forward. I really hope you get some great ideas on the tattoos and find someone who can make your boys' pictures beautiful for Piper. IF so, I would love to see what they come up with.
thoughts and prayers with you all during this time. Get plastered and enjoy your spa time the best you can right now. I suck at drawing anything (even a straight line) but I will be thinking of you and praying constantly for you all. I wish I could help more!
Your strength just absolutely astounds me, Cait. I'm so glad to hear you and Robert are taking this weekend for the two of you.
I'm on reddit all the time. If you'd like, so you can avoid questions, I'd be more than happy to post your request and see what, if any, results we get. Let me know. I'll actually write it up now and if you so choose, all I'll need to do is click 'submit'
We love you, Cait, and your whole family.
Reddit was my first thought! Hope someone can help. All my love girpipley, I hope your weekend away is enjoyed as much as it can be.

We are supposed to get a ton of snow here in northern VA tomorrow night! Seeing the forecast makes me smile thinking of your sweet boys sending all the snow our way. Hope you Robert and Piper are able to get out and play in it some!

I'm very excited about the snow! Robert and I made a fire outside and are drinking. And enjoying.
We've been talking about making some new friends in the area, since we're pretty new here. Would love to grab drinks with you and your H sometime.

Girl, everytime I read your updates I am overwhelmed with admiration. I'm so glad you and Robert were able to focus on not only yourselves but each other. You are the definition of strong.
My prayers for your family haven't stopped, and nor will they now. Your angel boys can hear them and help to try and ease some of what you're going through. I hope that you and R had a weekend that was... lighter, than you've been used to. My thoughts will be with you for your therapy session today as well.
I'm not wonderful at photoshop, but am happy to try and edit these images for you. Change some colour around and soften the images. I'll PM you my email in case you're interested and haven't found a solution yet.
Thank you for the update and I'm glad to hear that you and Robert have taken time for yourselves and are speaking to a therapist to decide how to approach everything with Piper. You are so strong. Sending love and thinking of you and your sweet babies all of the time.
So relieved with you that Piper had such a sweet reaction. Like we've said all along, you're a great mama. It shows especially in that post. Wishing you well.

I need to stop reading your blog when I am at work. Too many tears.
Piper is an amazing little girl, and that is a true testament to the type of parents you and Robert are. Her reaction was so sweet and precious. You are stronger than you think. You are stronger than you are giving yourself credit for.
Big hugs today! The pic of Piper smiling at her brothers is so incredibly darling. I'm so glad she's a spot of sunshine for you. I've been keeping you in my thoughts.

I'm so sorry the reddit thing didn't pan out. I tried again. And then again. It's so frustrating to me. But then I read your Piper post, and I feel so glad that it didn't work out. It looks like, it sounds like, it went how it was supposed to go, showing Piper the photo. She accepts them, as the beautiful babies they are. As her brothers. It sounds like it went perfectly. So I'm glad their image wasn't altered. They are perfect as they are.
Your blog still puts me into tears every single time I read an update. I am appalled at the state of our health system. When one life doesn't matter because he didn't breathe our air. That's disgusting, and I am so sorry that to the Social Security Administration, Miles didn't matter. Hopefully you can take comfort in knowing that he DID matter, and to a whole lot of people, along with your dear Scott.
Your most recent blog posts are so raw, so touching and so honest. Thank you for continuing to share your story. I think of you and your family often and like many others cannot read an update without many tears. Piper's reaction to her brothers is so perfect - and exactly how you should all feel. Proud. Proud to have such a wonderful little girl and to know that your boys know how much you love them. My thoughts and prayers will continue for all of you.
