She is such a doll. I can't believe all that hair when she was born! I pray you are comforted today and every day.

Cari,

Your tribute to Caden was beautiful. I pray for comfort for you and your family today. God is good and you will see her again one day.

You did a wonderful job of praising God and honoring your daughter as you sang this morning in church. Thank you. I still think you should post your song to this blog.....do I hear an Amen?? b

Hello. I don't know you but I have happened upon your blog somehow and my heart truly breaks for you, but I am a Christian so I too look forward to one day meeting your beautiful baby girl in heaven. I have a one year old son, and your tribute was touching. I lost my God daughter when she was just shy of 6 months old and they said it was SIDS, it is really hard and my prayers are with you. Your son is such a handsome little guy and I love his name! Hope he is feeling better soon! God bless you and just please know that you are an inspiration for all of the strength you show, with all you go through I know there have to be times when it is hard to lean on God and let His strength show through you, but you really are an inspiration. ~Michaela (Colorado)

Hello my name is Michelle and I also follow your blog. I really don't remember how I found it. But I just wanted to thank you for sharing your life and faith. You are so candid...I love it. Anyways I am praying for you and your family today.

I just can't watch it. I am praying for you and Andy today. I can still see her laughing and sitting on Tim's lap outside of the nursery. It is one memory of her I will never forget. She was so precious. Her sweet smile, her chubby cheeks and legs. I am praying.

Heidi Stone said...

I can't watch it right now either.

Cari, I'd like to say that I remembered it was Caden's birthday yesterday and that THAT is why I gave you a hug at church. But the truth is....I completely forgot. The Lord pushed me toward you in an embrace and while I honestly didn't know what inspired that hug at the time, now I understand why.

Isn't God good?

I grieve with you.

She's beautiful Andy and Cari. Your life is such a blessing and so is Caden's.

Rigg will know what a special girl/sister Caden is. And that she also was a Colts fan!

Again, beautiful girl, beautiful mother, beautiful family.

I was finally able to watch it today. Can you believe I made it through all the pictures without shedding a tear? But when the pictures faded and the dates of her life scrolled past, I could not help but think how totally unfair it is that those dates should be so very close together. And the tears fell.

Whenever I see or hear the book "But Not The Hippopotamus", I always always always think of you and Caden.

And usually when I think of you and Caden, I think about our trip to the zoo. And the bird pooping on your head. And that usually helps dry up the tears. :)

You are so blessed to have Rigg in your life.

Praying for you two today. Love you guys.
