Journal entry by Mary Kate Brenner

Payton,

How do you come up with words to say about time lost and taken away from you? My answer. There are none. It’s not fair that you only got to be with us for 29days. It’s not fair that I only got to hold you the day you gained your wings. It’s not fair that you never got to truly meet your sister and be a big sister to your brother and sister. I can go on and on about all the unfairness that gotten taken away from you and from us. But I try very hard not to be negative. I let myself feel it when it’s needed but try not to dwell. I know you are looking down on us and watching over us. We talk to you often and I know you are there. The signs are all around. It’s amazing how when I ask a question- not even directly to you. You show me somehow you are there and tell me it will be ok. That I am thankful for, even if you aren’t physically here, you are always here with us.

We love and miss you deeply!
