A fathers "True" love!!!



A fathers “TRUE” love. I have always heard the term Daddy’s little girl, But I never really understood it until the day my little girl Gwyneth Bella went to heaven. In the late night hours of November 30th Early morning of December 1st. Logan and I called the NICU as we do every night to get an update on Gwyn. We were informed that they needed to do lifesaving measures to her.

Logan and I rushed into the hospital and made it just in time to hold our precious Angel. She was so beautiful. Logan thinks she looked like me because she had my lips. The hardest part of the night was not watching my precious Gwyn leave this earth to be with her brothers, it was watching the true anguish of a man who had been holding together so strong for several weeks. No words can describe a father’s love for his daughter. I know there is a special bond between me and my dad, but I never truly got it until I watched my husband with his little girl. It brought true joy to me watching him with her.

We got 18 wonderful days with our little fighter. She decided for herself that she missed her brothers too much to continue to fight any further. Looking back on it, Logan and I realize we were being extremely selfish to believe that Gwyn would want to be here on earth with us. Gwyn needed to be with her brothers.

These babies were so close if you go back through the old posts you will see references to baby A and B playing together. Well baby A was Raiden, B was Ryker, and Baby C was Gwyn. When we lost Raiden, Gwyn took comfort in her brother’s arms. She laid so close to Ryker the entire time I was in the hospital. The nurses had to track the babies’ heartbeats everyday, they always thought they had the same baby because their hearts beat as one.

I love my children with all of my heart. One day I will understand why we are going through all of this. Right now I take great comfort in knowing I got to truly love my children for their short time on this earth. They touched more people in their short time here than most do in a lifetime.

I am truly blessed to have a wonderful loving and caring husband. Logan has always been there for me. I couldn’t have asked for a better man. We want to thank each and everyone of you who has prayed for our family. Thank you

I just sat here reading your WHOLE blog and I have to say that I am SO sorry for your losses. I have lost two children myself and understand at least a bit of the pain you feel. Please know you are not alone in this.

I have been following this blog for months - waited to see the sexes of the babies, kept your family in my prayer daily, especially after Raiden passed and then when Ryker and Gwyn were born. Words cannot express how truly sorry I am for your losses. I cannot even begin to understand what you must be going through. I will continue to keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Again, I am so very sorry for your losses.

Praying for your and your husband as you struggle through this incredibly difficult time. You are wonderful, strong, loving parents. Your angels were blessed to have such an incredible Mommy & Daddy. Your blog has been an inspiration to me and I will continue to lift you up in prayer.

No no no, it's not fair. I was praying for a wonderful update on your little fighter. I sit here in tears, speechless and so very sorry for your loss. Let it bring you comfort that your beautiful little girl has gone home to be with her brothers.

My thoughts will be with you on Friday and every day as you get through this together. There are no words to express my deep sympathies.

Raiden, Ryker and Gwyn - look down on your mommy and daddy as they miss your faces and as they try to say goodbye.

Obviously, distance keeps us from the service but my thoughts will be only on your three angels during that time.

Big hugs and many tears from Southern Vermont

Cathi and Logan,
I am so very sorry for your losses. I saw your post on TC a few days ago and just could not think of any words. I just wanted you to know that your beautiful children touched so many lives in their short time here. Your story has made me want to hold my children a little tighter and a little longer every time I hug them. My heart is breaking for you and I so badly wish there was some way for me to do something to help. If there is ever anything you need please let me know.

All I can say it that you both are such amazing souls. I was led to your site through the triplet connections and am so deeply touched by your loss and your amazing way of overcoming such a loss. You write in such a way that can't help but touch anyone deeply. You don't know me, yet I feel as though you both have given me such incredible perspective. Your angles have made a difference in so many lives, mine in just a few minutes. You two are amazing people. It's just so, so sad. I wish you peace and hope for more blessing to come. I'm just heartbroken and so sorry you both have to endure such pain. Thank God you both have each other. You're an amazing couple.
