Thank u for letting us join and support u in this
I am so sorry for your loss. Please know you are in my thoughts & prayers at this time.
It’s going to be hard & emotional. But it will also be beautiful and I am glad I get to be apart of it. Thank you SO much. MAD love for JLK! <3
It’s hard to know just what to say,
When one so young is taken away.
Far too soon she had to part,
Her memory forever engraved in our heart.
We only knew her for a short while,
But the life she led made us smile.
She was so beautiful and oh so rare,
Life as they say just isn’t fair.
Those gone before her will watch her with care,
Till the day comes when we’ll all join her there.
Know Jennifer is watching from heaven above,
And with each ray of sunshine, she’s sending her love.
Love you Libby!
“You gave me forever,
Within the numbered days,
And for that I’m grateful.”
You don’t know me, but we’re both moms. You on the west coast, me on the East. We both walk around with our hearts outside our bodies. You don’t know me….but I’m here for you.
She was beautiful. She IS beautiful
Your writing is incredible. Your ability to..just be
..Unimaginable.
You’ve caused a change in me that made me a different parent, a better parent.
You ARE brave, you ARE an inspiration, you ARE my forever Hero.
This all FUCKING SUCKS! It’s not fair. I wont attempt to console you, I’ll stand beside you, from all the way over here on my coast, and I’ll scream, cuss and cry with you
THIS. JUST. FUCKING. SUCKS!
The line from The Fault in Our Stars is exactly what I was thinking about!
I am going to try to get out of work & priceline an airline ticket to attend your beautiful daughter’s celebration of life. I’ve never been to Cali nor have I ever wanted to go until now. I feel the need to be there, but don’t know why. God wanted me to know Jennifer and I did, through your blogs Libby.
Glitter is flowing everywhere in Heaven!!!
Thank you for allowing so many of us to share in your baby girl <3
and p.s. Libby, you cry like a mofo ok?! You deserve it, you NEED it, you DO IT!! Screw anyone who doesn't understand…
HUGS & COMFORT
Glitter flowing in heaven … what a lovely image just like the joyfilled daughter of Libby, Jennifer
Thank you for a very real glimpse of what most of us are fortunate enough to see only objectively. I’ve only been following your blog for the past two weeks, and I see that most of your other followers are other moms, but this website has been mentioned in a few very high-volume places. Your attitude and Jennifer’s strength shape the way we see the world, and a lot of us aren’t a lot older than your kids. Thank you for being brave enough to share your life right now with us, and I wish you all the power and grace you need in the coming weeks, months, and years.
I will be thinking and praying for you all that day. Please remember that it is not goodbye. As you put it in another post, it is a see you on the other side. Celebrate that beautiful, horribly short, life, and all she taught you while here with you. Cry. Laugh. Remember. Lean on others. I have never met any of you, but my heart is changed. I am raising awareness in her name. I have donated to Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital and will continue to give a monthly donation in JLK’s name. I am appreciating my own little ones more and was shown through your story that life is short and precious and I need to stop worrying about the small stuff and just enjoy.
Thank you again, so much, for sharing. For being her warrior and advocate. For raising awareness. For being the best parents for her.
I will absolutely be there. Thank you so much for opening this up to all of us. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Thank you for letting us know the details. We will be there to show our love and support! Prayers continue for you and your!
You are the most unselfish mother I’ve ever had the pleasure of “knowing”. We don’t know each other, but in a way, we do. I can’t say that I’d be able to give and give as you have! First it was the donation to Stanford’s medical team and now opening your angel’s services to all of us! You are amazing! Even if you don’t feel like you are! You are an inspiration, even if you don’t know you are! You and your stories have changed lives!!!!!! Your daughter will NEVER die, because we are all living proof that there is hope and love and faith and compassion and support, in her name! Forever changed!!!!
Sending love and hugs from Nebraska. I will be there in spirit. I will be sure to have my daughter wear a sparkly dress on that day in your daughter’s honor. Continued thoughts and prayers for you. Give all your thoughts, worries, tears, anger… all of it to God. Take care of yourself, Libby. I do not even know you and I am worried about you. Praying for God to give you strength even if it is just a tiny bit right now, just enough to help you breath and sleep.
We send our love and prayers to your family. We rarely crossed paths through LM but it doesn’t matter. The rawness of your story has touched us all painfully, deeply and in the best way possible. I know the service will be overflowing with love and support, the walls may well crumble to the ground.
Because of you…
I hug my daughter tighter
Because of you…
I dream of JLK at night
Because of you…
I am different…better
I have grown
I will love deeper
I will embrace every day with my child
I will appreciate every day
Thank you, Libby, for what YOU have given me
We cannot attend JLK’s services, but our hearts go out to you. Will be thinking of you that day and the many to follow.
I’ll be there in glitter in honor of your beautiful daughter. I hope to get the chance to hug you and share your aching heart for just a moment so your burden is not so heavy for that small second. All I can say is that my prayers are with you and your family, and I will be praying fervently.
With love,
Amanda
