Sweet Salty Angel
Kate said goodbye to her beautiful son,
Liam
My heart is completely broken for her, and so very full for her at the same time.
During his all too brief weeks on this earth, Liam must have shared some very important secrets with his mama, to help her make some sense of this, and find some peace. I can't understand her strength... but I don't need to. It's a special secret between her and her son.
I can't presume to say that I understand what you are going through, Kate, but I do relate. Your Liam is my Lily, but their roads took different turns.. inexplicably, unfairly. I feel sick with guilt, anger and fear. It's all backwards... with your words bringing comfort to all of your readers, and we are unable to give as much back to you, as much as we all want to.
Fly high Liam, sweet froggie boy. I know you'll take all of that love with you on your journey. And I know you'll keep a close eye on your mama, dada, and brothers, whispering in their ears, and warming their hearts.
I'm so glad that I was able to "meet" you, and that your family was able to hold you, smell you, know you and fall in love with you.
Thank you for sharing this, Kate. As always, I am in awe of your wisdom, beauty, honesty and clarity.
My love to you and your family.

Eve, thank you for first making us aware of all that Kate and her family having been going through.
I've been reading her site daily, checking obsessively for the latest updates. My heart also breaks for her yet I am so happy sweet Liam got to spend even a little time with them.
Mama secrets. Twin secrets. Precious moments indeed.
Eve - delurking here to say 'thank-you' for sharing Kate's story with us. I've been checking her blog religously since, and sat with a heart and face full of tears after reading her post this morning.
I have been truly amazed at the strength of her heart and words.
i just read what jennboree wrote, and I echo her words--almost to the letter. I think she is so very strong and brave, and I think you are incredible in your support of her. thank you for your words.
Eve,
You are a wonderful friend to your friend and their family. I posted a little comment right to their blog.
I am so sorry for the whole family, but what a loving family...wow.
Hi Eve:
Ever since you introduced me to Kate's blog when her darling boys were born, I have been checking on them religiously.
Last night I read her post and learned about little Liam. My heart is breaking for her family, and I can not stop thinking about them. I came up to tell Ken about it through my tears.
It seems weird to be so moved by someone you don't even know, but I think as a Momma we know about the fierceness of a Mother's love, and can only imagine Kate's pain.
Thank you for sharing Kate's story with me, and I will continue to pray for her family.
I am so sorry to read this. My heart and my prayers go our to their family.
Since you introduced us to her blog I have been reading. What a strong and amazing family.
Thank you for sharing her story with us!

Thank you sweet Eve. I am so late in responding but I love your light. You radiate. I only hope we can meet someday over cupakes. Thanks to everyone else, too - any imaginary friend of Eve's is an imaginary friend of mine.
