Beautifully put Erin. I completely know what you mean by loving Trevor yet you never knew him, missing him though you never met him. I feel the same way when I read about your journey through this and other mothers’ journeys’ that I follow. I have family and friends that say they can’t understand why I read about the heart wrenching journeys’ that others are going through and my response is, just because you ignore it, doesn’t mean it is not happening. Keep your chin up, you are Noah’s hero!

Beautifully written, Erin. I hope that you look back at your writings when you have the Why Us? moments, because your strength shines through your words. I’m overjoyed for you all and how well the keto diet is going and the fantastic results you continue to see in Noah. I certainly don’t know a Mom as passionate, loving, and downright kicka$$ as you!

You are Noah’s soldier as I am my daughter’s. The swords we carry are sometimes so heavy that no matter how hard we try to hold on to them, they sometimes fall, but what matters is that we ALWAYS pick them back up. Even soldiers drop their swords sometimes…I read that somewhere and it really made me feel better. I hope it helps you too. Also, I’m sure you’ve already read it but if not, please read the poem, “Welcome to Holland.”

I’m so very sorry. Sometimes life is terribly unfair. Please know I continue to pray for you and your family. Some days are hard, some seemingly unbearable… but you’re doing it! Keep on keeping on!

Somehow I wish I could help. Somehow I wish I could loan you my shoulder when you need it. Somehow my grandmotherly self would like to take it all away. But I can’t. So all I can offer are my prayers and my tears and my hopes that Noah will be everything you wish him to be. And that it will get easier for you all.
