I never felt comfortable with posting anything on Facebook, thou I read every beautiful, courageous and remarkable word you wrote. As I share your story with people one of my first comments is always the amazement I have at how strong your faith is and how comforting your words are to so many people who should be comforting you. if anyone ever deserved a life raising a child it is you and Chuck. How beautiful to hear you say that you are parents you are a mom and dad; you are so absolutely right in that. We sometimes never know the reasons why God does the things he does. But in my heart i believe that he is touching hundreds of people through you in your heartbreaking story. You have shown everyone how strong your faith is how strong you believe how you have questions but your faith does not waiver. In these times of taking prayer out of schools and God being removed from so many places, you are spreading his word. Beautifully, bravely. Just as Kayla is a soldier for our country, you and your entire family are soldiers in Christ. While you have touched so many already, this will make a difference in many lives and their faith, but you and your words may make a tremendous difference in someone's life when they need it most. You are a true disciple. I never thought of there being disciples today, but I know you are one. My love and prayers are with you daily. Beautiful Olive will live on and on in everyone's hearts; most importantly her mom and dads.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16807201546772651340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8173077087866208648.post-23020318844271875842014-08-11T19:42:08.453-07:002014-08-11T19:42:08.453-07:00You write so beautifully.

When I read your words, I am so floo...Sweet Nicole,<br />When I read your words, I am so flooded with emotions. From the moment you and Charlie gave us our best ever Christmas present, we knew you would be such good parents. You were ready to embark on life's most wonder-filled, exciting, terrifying, loving experience. Our hearts break for you because that journey was packed into such an excruciatingly short amount of time. But in that time, Olive reminded us of two things, how fragile life can be...and how strong the human bond can and should be.<br />I truly admire your way with words and ability to share your thoughts, your "vulnerability" so beautifully. There have been what seems like a million words chasing each other around in my head over the last two weeks and the rush of emotions keep washing them in and out like a tide. I am sure of this though...even though we are not going to know the joy of seeing Olive grow up enveloped in your and Charlie's loving arms...we KNOW and LOVE Olive because we KNOW and LOVE you both.<br />Heaven has a beautiful, new angel looking down on us tonight...with your nose and Charlie's ears. I read your words and I feel it. And it warms me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04210253589864421824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8173077087866208648.post-63843732909498539112014-08-11T17:48:31.619-07:002014-08-11T17:48:31.619-07:00Praying your continued strength and healing.

I want you to know the prayer chain that begun when I read about Olive's entrance into this world continues for you and your husband. I haven't seen you since high school however being my sister in Christ your suffering is felt in my home and you are thought of daily. May the Word continue to provide you with strength and understanding. May the Lord bless you and your family as you move forward each day.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10705608058338142552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8173077087866208648.post-62267848991745177522014-08-11T17:37:39.636-07:002014-08-11T17:37:39.636-07:00Poignant and beautiful.
