May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

Natalie Grant – Held
Two months is too little.
They let him go.
They had no sudden healing.
To think that providence would
Take a child from his mother while she prays
Is appalling.
Who told us we’d be rescued?
What has changed and why should we be saved from nightmares?
We’re asking why this happens
To us who have died to live?
It’s unfair.
This is what it means to be held.
How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive.
This is what it is to be loved.
And to know that the promise was
When everything fell we’d be held.
This hand is bitterness.
We want to taste it, let the hatred know our sorrow.
The wise hands opens slowly to lilies of the valley and tomorrow.
This is what it means to be held.
How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive.
This is what it is to be loved.
And to know that the promise was
When everything fell we’d be held.
If hope is born of suffering.
If this is only the beginning.
Can we not wait for one hour watching for our Savior?
This is what it means to be held.
How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive.
This is what it is to be loved.
And to know that the promise was
When everything fell we’d be held.
i wish i could be there, i live in oklahoma or else my whole family would come and celebrate her life with all of your wonderful family. we will remember her here though. i am praying for your family, that you will find peace.
I live over a thousand miles away but know my heart will be with your family. Tuesday was such a precious little girl and I know so many will miss her.
Would love to be there to celebrate Tuesdays life. AND to give you a big, long hug. I will be praying for you during this time.
We will most definitely be there in spirit. The video is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your story – it has profoundly touched me. I even blogged about it. I wish you and your family peace – you’re in my thoughts.
It will be an amazing celebration for a beautiful little girl who has touched so many. My thoughts and prayers are with you & your family.
While I rejoice that Tuesday is dancing in heaven, completely healed, my heart is still broken for her family she left behind.
Like many have said, I will be there in spirit, praying for you from Washington state.
I wanted to add this song,
sweet dreams little Tuesday
“Godspeed (Sweet Dreams)”
Dragon tales and the “water is wide”
Pirate’s sail and lost boys fly
Fish bite moonbeams every night
And I love you
Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed
Sweet dreams
The rocket racer’s all tuckered out
Superman’s in pajamas on the couch
Goodnight moon, will find the mouse
And I love you
Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed
Sweet dreams
God bless mommy and match box cars
God bless dad and thanks for the stars
God hears “Amen,” wherever we are
And I love you
Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed
Godspeed
Godspeed
Sweet dreams
I am so sorry for your loss. We are praying for your family.
Bless you and your family. xo
Beautiful tiny dancers!! Thank you for sharing.
Please know that so many people you have never even met are praying for your family.
I am just so sorry that you have to go through this. I am so sorry your children have to go through this.
Our entire family is praying for you and sending lots of love along with a couple of our warmest hugs.
I would LOVE to be there! If only I could. I will be thinking of you.
I will be there by spirit, I will be praying for you and your family. I have read so much about Tuesday, and she has open my heart to god.
Tuesday, you, and your family are in our prayers.
Praying for you and your family!
JK, I have been looking for a way to get there, but it looks like it is a no go for me. I so wanted to be there to celebrate Tuesday’s life. I will definitely make the trip later in the year to meet your beautiful family though, or next year.
You are in our prayers. The video was precious.
I just heard about your wonderful Tuesday from my dear friend Therese (Dana’s sister). I will definitely be there either in person or in spirit. We live in Colorado east of Watkins. I have deep faith that the Lord has a beautiful plan for Miss Tuesday. I have a 4-year old daughter who came through many trials to be the wonderful beautiful person she is so I can somewhat understand being a fearful parent who wants to fix everything and sometimes loses the battle. There are many people praying for you so I hope you are able to feel our arms around your family in a huge hug.
There is another family whose baby passed away. He was an 18 month old twin named Webb. If you are interested, the blog is http://ashleybroach.blogspot.com/
Love and Hope Still to your family.
I will be there in spirit. She is the light that hjas changed so many lives and shunes in the hearts of many foreve.
Oh Jessica, I have been following your precious Tuesday’s story and praying for your family for a long time. I have never posted before, because I have not known what to say. I still don’t know what to say, but at this time, I truly think that there is nothing to say. I am still praying for your precious family. I can’t even imagine what you are going through as a mom. I can’t imagine what Piper is and will have to go through losing her other half. (I have twins too) You are all in my prayers. God Bless
I can not imagine the pain….I hope you have a HUGE group for “Wagie rides” …Blessings!
i really wish we could come..or i could hop a plane and come celebrate tuesdays life with ya'll! I will definitely be thinking about Tuesday and your beautiful family on Saturday…as i have been for so long. Please know you are in my prayers…and my heart is truly breaking for you all. I'm sending HUGS and lots of love from Texas your way.
Brenda Myers & family!
So many prayers for your family.
what a precious video!! I will be there in spirit…prayers to you and your family!
What a precious little dancer God has up there. My heart is with you.
Children have a special place in the arms of the Father and no doubt that Tuesday will be rejoicing with you on this special day, always and forever until you meet again in paradise.
We will keep you and your family in our prayers for healing,comfort and Gd’s perfect peace.
Jess,
At 10:45 your time we will have a Wagi Ride to honor Tuesday here in NJ. I know that TuTu’s light will shine on in many people that she never got to meet but touched dearly.
Love to you and the family.
Patti
I’m so glad you are going to celebrate Tuesday with JK style. Bravo. I will be with you in my heart.
I just watched this video 30 times!!! Loved it.
You don’t know me and I don’t know you. I just found out about your little one through the Maxey Web and I am so very sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to each one in your family. I can only imagne the pain you are going through, but just know that Tuesday will no longer be in pain and she is dancing with the angels now. Even though I don’t know you I will be with your family in spirit to celebrate the life of precious Tuesday. My heart breaks for you…Kathy
JK that video is adorable. The girls in tutus- just precious! I wish we were able to join you next Saturday, however we cannot. I'm sure you understand. It's too cold and snowy for wagon rides here, but we'll be sure to have a special play day to honor Tuesday. Take care & know we are thinking of you & your family.
That sweet, sweet baby!! We will be with you in spirit!! May God bless you and your family during this time. I know you are so thankful for the time that you had with your baby girl!! She is a beautiful little angel in Gods arms now. I wish I would have had a chance to meet such a wonderful child. We will be celebrating on Sat. with you from our home in Mississippi.
With love and tears,
Jessi Shoup and family
Oh My God… I just heard of your little one from another blog. I am so very, very sorry. I hope you have many videos like this one to sustain you…
What a beautiful way to celebrate her life. How amazing for you to be able to share with all of us. I hope it has in some way helped you as it has touched our lives so much.
I will be there in spirit. I wish there wasn’t almost an entire country between us. I have been deeply touched by you and your family. I have had Tuesday on my mind all day. I continue to pray for your family to be graced with every ounce of strength you need to get through the next hour, day, year… I have also been praying specifically for Piper. I know if my girls spend more than a few hours apart they are beside themselves. I pray that she will one day understand how blessed she is to have been a part of such a wonderful pair – and how she will always be blessed to be a part of such an amazing family. Love, Marnie (from NJ)
I started reading your blog yesterday and I’ve been broken hearted ever since. As a mom, I can’t fathom your pain. As a twin, I mourn your daugher’s loss. Watching that video through blurry eyes, I remember old movies of my sister and I dancing just like that. My prayers are with your family.
My heart is literally aching for you and your family as I write this. I came upon your blog recently and your family has been in my thoughts ever since. I am so very sorry for the loss of Tuesday. I hope you know that in being such a strong and comforting mother you have given both yourself and Tuesday the gift of countless peaceful and wonderful memories to keep for eternity. I wish you and your beautiful family peace.
I am so very sorry for your loss! Tuesday seemed like a wonderful, joyful little girl whose light will shine on.
You are in my prayers…
Our prayers are with you and your family. I am soo sorry for your loss. I will be with you in my heart to celebrate Tuesday’s life. May God comfort you in this time of great need.
I will never hear that song again without thinking of Tuesday. And so each time it comes on the radio I’ll be sending out prayers to you all.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family during this time. Your little angel is certainly a beautiful one.
What a wonderful movie. It is so lovely and amazing to get to see Tuesday in a movie and not just a photo. Thanks so so much for sharing with us, it really was so nice to see today. Sending you as much love and hugs as is possible JK, to you, to charley, little Piper, Axel and Spencer. I will take my kids on a waggie ride on Sat in tutu’s honor and think of her breathing in the fresh mountain air. Melinda.
Im so sorry!!! Sending love from Utah and Golden K.I.S.Ses from Kennedy and Stacy
I’m am so deeply sorry for your loss. She looks so sweet in that video, my thoughts and prayers will be with you.
How I wish that I could be there. I have never met you, but your sweet Tuesday has so touched my heart and my life.
I have a five month old son, a gift from God after several early miscarriages. I read your story last night and then went into his room and watched him sleep for probably close to an hour.
I never forget to be grateful for the grace of God in my life, but sometimes, I get so busy that I forget to stop and truly revel in it. Thank you, Tuesday, for helping to remind me.
That is the absolute sweetest thing I have ever heard of, and what a wonderful way to celebrate Tuesday’s life. I have only just come across your blog tonight. I’m so sorry for your loss, and will be praying so hard for you. I lost a little girl as well, so my heart aches for you, and I’ll be thinking/praying all week.
Love, Kathryn
What sweet sisters. Your family will remain in my prayers.
I’ll be there in spirit too. I hope the party celebrating Tuesday’s life is a fitting tribute. I am sure that your little angel will be watching from above. She is at peace now and by God’s side. She was such a special and beautiful little girl. I hope that you are finding some peace knowing that she is no longer in pain. I hope time dulls the ache and pain in your heart.
What a precious, priceless video!
I’ll be there in spirit too!
My heart is broken for you…
your strength, love and courage are too big for me to grasp. May God guide and keep you.
I’ve watched that video several times now and I could probably watch it 100 times more and never get tired of it. What a beautiful light.
I’m so pleased that I get to fly out to Denver from Minneapolis to be part of the celebration service. I can’t wait to give you a giant hug in person. I love you. –Kristy G.
I am so sorry for your loss. My family and I will be there in spirit and thinking of you on this day.
my eyes tear up just watching your video of your precious tuesday! i pray for you and your family as you celebrate tuesday’s life. and i pray for you in the days/months/years ahead.
you are in our prayers!
Oh, what a fabulous celebration of Tuesday’s life! You know our hearts are there with you!
Love and comfort,
Leah and Tom
I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet little girl. I hope that your celebration is everything that Tuesday would love!
Wagon rides are the best.
Praying for you and your family during this difficult time.
We are so sorry that Tuesday lost her fight. We were told by twitter from the freeman family. My heart aches for you and your family but rejoices because God has a new angel, to watch over you and your family.
Wish I could be there in person, will come in spirit as well.
Like many of the other folks leaving you some love, I have been profoundly moved by Tuesday’s story.
I know your wound is fresh and I hope only to inspire you but if it is okay with you, I would really like to honor Tuesday by doing a weekly post called “Tearless Tuesday”. A chance to share joyful stories to help encourage each other. I say we can let ourselves cry 6 days a week but on Tuesdays we try to find the joy of life. Children are so full of joy, wouldn’t you agree.
I will begin this Tuesday Feb 3rd and invite any other bloggers who would like to participate to join in on their blogs and post their links on Mr. Linky on my site.
Whitt family, thank you for sharing your pain with us! We all care for each one of you as if you were our own family.
With Great Love,
Lisa at BlogBaby
We will be there in spirit… I wish we could be there physically. We will take our own “wagie” ride at the same time to honor beautiful Tuesday. Heaven received the most precious angel… she has touched so many lives in her short time here on earth. You are all in our prayers all the time. Love the video… it’s absolutely precious!
So sorry for your loss. I will be praying for you and your entire family.
I just found your blog from a blogger in Texas. Amazingly, I live in the Pinery Glen. I don’t know much about your time in Colorado, if you have family nearby, or a huge support group, but I would be happy to lend you support if you ever need it. Even just bring you a gallon of milk from Soopers if that’s all you need.

Hi,
We too have journeyed the NB. Joel, our 3 yr twin was dx Dec.06 and went to live with Jesus 1/23/07. I am sorry for your separation from your sweet little girl. The only way I am making it through this , is by His grace, the truth of scripture and the hope to be with Joel again someday. Its a long road, its a tough road but the Lord has been true to Himself, He has been with us through this. May He give you grace as you walk through this valley of the shadow of death. Blessings of abounding grace be unto you from the Heavenly Father!
Cindy (Joel’s Mommy forever)

Jessica-
I am praying for you and your husband and children for peace and strength and comfort–and I know that God will lift you up.
praying you feel the love of jesus wrapped around you tightly. so very sorry for your loss. what a precious little girl.
Today was a bittersweet anniversary for me, as my first and so far only little girl love was stillborn into our lives 3 years ago today ~ the ache remains, but the years have been gentle, taking away much of the unbearable, immobilizing grief, in their passing ~ my heart aches for you. I can barely pray for you, but please know my tears are with you in this time. Lean into each other, and cry through the memories, and rest in Jesus. I am so thankful that God takes each of our tears, and collects them as precious in his sight, and that somehow, He has carried our grief and sorrow first.
*still* leaning on the everlasting arms ~ Sarah
My heart will be with your family even though my body won’t. Always remember her like this video— what a doll!!!
We are going to try and be there. You all are still in our ptayers.
Twitter brought me here tonight; a post that Tuesday had died.
I don’t know you, but I know your pain… and I know that all these wonderful supporters will lift you up in prayer and help comfort you, now, and for a long, long time.
My own daughter died of cancer in 1996; you may know her as the inspiration for the gold ribbon campaign for childhood cancer awareness. Her name is Kelsey. (And she was born in Denver!)
May the spirit of sweet little Tuesday forEVER brighten your days and your hearts! I know it is possible 🙂
And may God grant you peace, His peace, beyond all understanding.
With compassion and love,
Gigi
I wish we could be there physically, but are too far away to make it…we will walk with you and our grandbaby in his “waggie”, pray you feel us in spirit with you…all our love, John and Sheri
The world is better place because we had Tuesday for even the little while we did. She is an angel now and sits on Jesus’ lap.
Still trying to figure out if I can get there. And if not, I will be there in spirit and will find another way to honor & celebrate her.
I loved that video. Such a precious memory.
Love and hugs to you!
What a precious family. Tuesday loved being loved by you ~ and she is infinitely happier right now than any of us ever can or will be here on earth. She’s laughing, clapping her hands, and dancing to Blinded By The Light, thinking only happy thoughts.
I pray for you, as you go through the next few months of good days and bad. I know you know that you are surrounded by loving friends and family who wish they could carry the load for you.
So precious! Praying for you!!
I wish I could. I wish I lived closer. I wish a lot of things right now. Most of all, I wish for you love, and peace.
We will ride our children in our wagons here in tribute. I promise.
The video is precious beyond words.
SO wrong.
so wrong. so damn wrong.
YOu will get thru this to the other side. and you will never forget.
May God hold you and your family…
Oh how I wish I could be there! Will be there in spirit!
“I’m but a stranger here, Heav’n is my Home”…one of my favorite hymns. It’s such a comforting thought! Know that I’m praying!
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Even though we have never met, If I lived closer than Missouri, I would be there. I will be praying for you. The video was precious!
Blessings,
Jennifer
I just came across your blog a few days ago but your sweet Tuesday has changed my life. As I sit here typing this, tears running down my face, I pray for your family had hope you can find some comfort in knowing your baby is in a better place. Your family is beautiful and your strength is admirable. That video is priceless…she lived such a happy life! Bless her soul! Stay strong for your family and keep the memories alive. Your blog friends love you and we all pray for your comfort. My heart is so full of ache for your family. -amy in chicago-
This is a far from perfect world that we live in and the only perfection that exists is in heaven. Tuesday is there looking upon your family with great adoration and sweet peace. I am truly sorry for your loss and hope you are finding enough comfort and solace in each other. I am so moved by her story and the story of your family. You give me more strength than you will ever know.
With much Aloha,
Kalei, Kai, and Violet
I just found your blog 2 days ago and have been thinking about and praying for you and your family ever since. We live in the area and we will be there for you. Please, e-mail me, and let me know if there’s anything I can do for you in the meantime.
what a beautiful little girl, her and her sister are too precious for words. your family is in our prayers.
Oh, that happened so fast! Which, I know, for Tuesday anyway, it’s a blessing. But, my heart is just breaking for you!
Tuesday, full of grace, you changed many lives in your very short one. Thank you for that.
Hugs to you all!
We will be there!
The video is perfect. Piper (and each of you) will have all the beautiful pictures and movies you have used to chronicle sweet Tuesday’s life. What a gift.
Words cannot express how happy I was to see all of you tonight. I know it wiped you out Jess, but hopefully it was healing too, in some tiny way…
Still all my love to all of you.
What a wonderful way to honor your daughter’s life! Wish so much we still lived in Castle Rock to join in the celebration of Tuesday’s life.
JK, I so would love to be able to make it but I will be taking Morgan and Trinity for a wagon ride here in Cali at the exact time! I love you girl!
I just found your blog and wanted to say from one mother’s heart to another I am So Sorry and I will pray for Tuesday’s little spirit and your family.
I’ll be there to remember and cherish Tuesday. Hugs.
What a beautiful memory to cherish.
You are in our thoughts.
Not just any Walk
An angels trail of a wagons ride
to see said horsie in the mornings light
a hop a jump a laughter and tears
our hearts open wide understandable fears.
There will be tears, I’ll be holding your hand, on that heavenly trail till we meet you once again.
I made this up in memory of Tuesday and your walk.
So sorry for your loss, I’d be there if it wasn’t so far.
Babs
The video is precious!!!
I have no words.
I’m praying for you. Truly. And now going to hug my kids…
Just heard of your story a few days ago. Can not image what you are going through. I have not stopped praying for your family since I heard. Praying for peace, love, strength, hope, healing.
Love in Christ

“This Must Be The Place”
Performed by Charlene Johnson
For Tuesday…
I thought of your sweet Tuesday this morning in church. The sermon was from Matthew 18:1-6about when the disciples asked Jesus who is the most honored in Heaven and He answered “The Children Are”. Not only is she healed and in Heaven with Jesus but she is honored too!!!
My heart is broken for you and your family.
That little video was just as precious as can be.
All of my love and prayers are being sent your way to get you through this difficult time.
Our church sang this song today and I cried, thinking how perfect it was for you. Christ is your light, and so is Tuesday.
Longing for light, we wait in darkness. Longing for truth, we turn to you. Make us your own, your holy people, light for the world to see.
Christ, be our light! Shine in our hearts. Shine through the darkness.
Christ, be our light! Shine in your church gathered today.
Longing for peace, our world is troubled. Longing for hope, many despair. Your word alone has pow’r to save us. Make us your living voice.
Christ, be our light! Shine in our hearts. Shine through the darkness.
Christ, be our light! Shine in your church gathered today.
My heart is literally hurting for you and your husband and kids! But what a angel you will have in heaven!
I am so extremely sorry for your loss. If I were closer, I’d def be there with my kids.I love that you are making it a child friendly service – just what Tuesday would have wanted I suspect. Take good care
Leigh
Oh, the Blinded By The Light video is precious. Thank you for sharing.
Your family is never far from my thoughts, and always in my prayers.
Love from Cincinnati
Jessica and Charley, You don’t know me but I wanted you to know that I have prayed for you and your family. Tuesday is precious. We lost our almost 3 year old a year ago Jan. 31st. I know the pain and ache in your entire being. I pray for you to run to Jesus. He loves the broken hearted. May He make himself so real to you. So sorry for your loss of your darling daughter. In Christ, Nita
I just came acrossed your blog and read about the loss of your little angel. Tears are running down my cheeks as I type right now. 🙠I’m so deeply sorry. Rest in peace Tuesday, you will forever be missed and loved!

I pray that God will wrap his arms around you all and give you comfort and peace. Your sweet baby girl was so precious.
I am so happy that we are going to be celebrating Tuesday’s life. We all will morn her each in our own way but being together to celebrate is so wonderful and so much like Tuesday… full of smiles and hugs and laughter and being happy for her. I can see her dancing at the street fair in June. She was rocking out and loving every minute. This is how I want to remember her. We love you all and I will be there.
Love,
Aunt SuSu and Uncle Jim

We lost our son to cancer in 2005. I wish I could put my arms around you and sob with you. From one broken mothers heart to another may God hold you tight.
Please know we are there in our hearts. We love you.

I’m so, so, sorry – will be lifting you all up in prayer.

I pray for your family and her spirit
So sorry for the loss of your beautiful daughter.
Isaiah 57:1-2 “The righteous pass away, the godly often die before their time. And no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to understand that God is protecting them from the evil to come. For the Godly who die will rest in peace.”
Take care,
Julie
On one warm Tuesday Afternoon,
somewhere in the future, she will come to you in a breeze… and you will feel comfort, joy, and be at peace.
She is sitting on His lap, wrapped up in His arms, playing with a lamb, and giggling. She feels no pain. She knows nothing but joy. She has reached her full potential in heaven.
She will be there…waiting for you… arms outstretched and smiling a smile only her family can recognize. She will be fully grown, and you will know her instantly. She will be doing what her heart sings about.
To her, your presence will have taken but a moment to happen, she will have no memory of how long she had been there before you arrived.
You will rejoice, she will show you around, she will introduce you to your Savior. aS you both bow down to worship Him, she will grab your hand, and say…
“Thank you, I had fun with you while I was down there. You did a great job… But this place sooo rocks!
I am deeply sorry for you loss and I hope you find comfort in these words.
My daughter sent me you blog. Beautiful video of you precious girls.
Losing a child is the worst thing that can happen to a parent. I lost a little girl when she was 3. You will learn to cope and get through each day, one minute at a time. Don’t lose faith, you may not think so now, or even a year from now, but the pain will get better over time. Remember your sweet Tuesday and write down as much as you can about her. It will help.
My prayers and blessing to you and your beautiful family.
I will be there in spirit, although I wish I could be there in person.
Being a twin myself, I cannot image the loss you are experiencing and I grieve with you. Praying for you and especially for the kids.
I am so sorry for your loss. My family and I will be there in spirit. Your family is in my prayers. Just keep looking up and God will provide. Looks like you have a great support network so don’t be afraid to lean on them.
this is the most precious video i have ever seen. i wont be able to make it from maryland but my sister in colorado will be there for me…we love you whitt family! i pray that God would allow us to bear some of your burden and take on some of your pain. praying continually. so much love and more -chalice and kyrie

What a sweet, sweet video. The song has been playing in my head since I first saw the video yesterday and I can’t hear it without seeing your sweet girls. I will never hear that song again without thinking of Tuesday. I can’t begin to imagine the pain of losing such a sweet girl. I have been blessed to know Tuesday through your blog. Thank you for sharing her with us.
I am so so sorry for your loss. From one mother to another, (and a twin as well) I can not begin to understand or imagine the raw aching you must be feeling… I am grieving for your sweet little girl. I will continue to pray for her and for your family.
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I know that the Lord will be celebrating precious Tuesday’s life with you as he is holding her in his arms in heaven. Many prayers with your family.

Only the Lord knows all the “whys”…His way is always best! Praying!
Romans 11:33-36 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

Your girls are absolutely beautiful… I will be thinking of your family on Saturday. Although, we don’t live close enough to attend, we will take a wagon ride in Tuesday’s honor.
Found your blog through another. Just wanted to extend my deepest condolences on your great loss.
What a spirit your little girl has. It jumps right out of that video through those little dance moves. My heart has been filled with all kinds of thoughts and emotions as I think about your loss and what you are enduring. But I can tell you are ALL exceptional souls and wow will Tuesday be remembered my so many…
Yes, yes celebrate – we will be celebrating with you here in LA in our own little wagie parade.
God bless you all…
I came across your blog from a link from friend. I am so sorry for your loss. I have also lost a child that was a identical twin but it was not to cancer. I can not imagine the pain you are feeling but know you and your family are in my prayers.
My thoughts and prayers will be for you today…May you feel God’s love and His peace. I am so very sorry for your loss!
In His Love,
Ronda
I just found your blog the other day, and when I looked at it last night again, I saw the news of sweet baby Tuesday. My heart is so heavy for your family. I couldn’t sleep, so I woke up my older son (21 mos.) and brought him in bed with me to snuggle, thanking the Lord for his life. And now I will think of your family every time we take a “Waggie ride!”
Wishing I still lived in Colorado to join the celebration this Saturday. I know it will be beautiful. But sending LOTS of love and prayers from Ohio.
Love to you all! Just wanted you to know that I wake up each morning praying for your family.
XO, Jules
I’m so very sorry about Tuesday. You are such a strong mom, much stronger than I would/could be. I don’t know what it is like to lose a child, I do know that my heart is breaking for you and your family. I am so happy that Tuesday is out of pain, what a tough little girl. I just wish we knew why?
I will be there in spirit. I can’t say much more than what everyone else has said. My heart is breaking for you. Tuesday not has eternal bliss and will be waiting for you both with open arms.
I am so sorry for your loss. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
I’m sorry I can’t make it. Thank you for allowing Tuesday to touch all of our lives. We are all praying for you. God bless you! “Even the day after tomorrow will one day be yesterday….This too shall pass.”
You are in my thoughts and prayers as you celebrate the life of Tuesday.
Love and prays are sent to you and your family, from ours.
So sorry for the loss of your baby girl. Nothing will ever take away the pain, but take comfort in knowing that her pain and suffering is gone.
I am praying for you and your family. I lost one of my precious children on December 26, also a twin, to a brain tumor when he was 18 months old. May God grant you the peace that passes all understanding.
Having lost a twin to NB, I know the great depth of pain. I wanted to share a verse in Jer. 31:15, Thus sayeth the Lord; a voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rachel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children because they were not.and in verse 17, And there is hope in thine end saith the Lord… This is the way one feels for sure, but the Lord says there is HOPE in thine end. All this sorrow and pain will be for our good, although right now it is so very raw. Cry out to Him, He is there, He can handle us beating on His bosom as our hearts are so broken.Then Peter said,Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have give I thee, Acts 3:6. If in the future, I am here as this verse says, I have not silver and gold but I can give you the comfort and compassion that He has give me through this fiery trial. May His mighty presence be real to your family at this time.
Cindy (Joel’s mommy)
My heart breaks for Tuesday and your family.

Precious video. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Just found your site from Sarah Smith’s spot.
I am so very, very sorry for your loss. I know that there are not any words that will help in a time like this, so I won’t even try.
I will, however, keep all of you in my prayers.

We won’t be able to be there in person, but we will most definitely have our own “waggie ride” here in Texas in honor of Miss Tuesday.
Many prayers for comfort from our Lord.
I know i’m just one of the thousand of comments that you get but we are all praying for you!!! Your story is so beautiful. Just think your sweet baby Tuesday is with our Heavenly Father. She’s healthy and oh so happy!!!! I’m so sorry for your loss. But I am extremly grateful that you have a blog that you allow strangers like me to view. I pray that the Lord will fill you with strength to get through this trial, and your other sweet babies that they may also be able to cope through this rough time in their lives. Thank You for sharing with us that we may share your burdens with you…
with love, the Cox’s from Utah
what a beautiful idea to celebrate her beautiful life. I hope you are surrounded by friends, family, peace and comfort.
We will be there with you in spirt.
Just wanted to let you know I just found your blog today and am sitting here with tears streaming down my face. I can only imagine your heartache right now and am praying for you. My four year olds birthday is Oct. 11 and my 2 year old is Oct. 17th so just a few days younger then your girls. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers and remember to hug my girls a little tighter and show them more patience and love in honor of your sweet Tuesday. May God grant you all peace and comfort as you celebrate and remember you little girl.
Hugs and Prayers

God Bless your family during this time. Prayers and Thoughts go out to you.
What a sweet video. Wish I could be there.
I somehow stumbled across your blog and wanted to extend my deepest sympathies to you and your family. Please know that you all are in my prayers.
I will also be there in spirit. I’ve been thinking and praying for all of you incessantly. I just realized that you guys are in Parker. My sister-in-law and her family live in Parker. It’s one of my favorite places to visit. Maybe we’ll run into each other one day. Sending much love and prayers for strength and peace.
I wish we could be there! Your family and friends are in our prayers.
Hi Jess. You don’t know me, but I work at the school district with Dodie Hunker. I have been through your journey every step of the way since she (Dodie) turned me onto your blog. What an amazing woman I think you are, and what an even more amazing family you have created. I see Tuesday in my child’s eyes, I see Tuesday in the bright blue sky and I see Tuesday in every happiness I encounter. She (and you, of course) have brightened my life, and for all of us that have never met either of you in person, you are in our hearts and thoughts always. You have showed me how to love deeper and smile more. I can only imagine the pain you have struggeled with, but your love and warmth has traveled into everyones soul and will always be with them; just as Tuesday will always be there for you and your family. She is a beautiful ray…that has made life worth living!
Praying for all of you.
I will be thinking of you all from the UK. I hope the celebration goes well for you all. Bless you little angel Tuesday for bringing so many people together in thought and word and spirit.
Thought you may like to see this – it is precious :

I am a sister of a ped cancer patient, and I stumbled across your blog a few months ago. I am so sorry for your loss, and I am praying for your family, and little Tuesday.
This is a poem my mother was given, and I hope it brings you the same peace it brought us, knowing we will be together with those we love.
“I’ll lend you for a little time a child of Mine,” He said,
“For you to love the while she lives and mourn for when she’s dead.
It may be six or seven years, or twenty-two or three;
But will you, till I call her back, take care of her for Me?
She’ll bring her charms to gladden you; and should her stay be brief,
You’ll have her lovely memories as solace for your grief.
“I cannot promise she will, since all from earth return;
But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.
I’ve looked the wide world over in My search for teachers true,
And from the throngs that crowd life’s land I have selected you.
Now will you give her all your love, nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate Me when I come to call and take her back again?”
I fancied that I heard them say: “Dear Lord, Thy will be done!
For all the joy Thy child shall bring, the risk of grief we’ll run.
We’ll shelter her with tenderness, and love her while we may,
And for the happiness we’ve known forever grateful stay;
But shall the angels call her much sooner than we’ve planned,
We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand.”
-Edgar A. Guest
My husband and I found your blog this weekend and have been praying for your family since. Our hearts are broken for what your family has just endured and will continue to process.
May it be a day filled with beautiful memories that celebrate your daughters all to short life.
I don’t know what to say at this moment other then my heart can’t stop aching for you and your little girl. I couldn’t imagine having to go through something like this but I know one thing is that your strength in this has been a powerful witness to me. Tuesday is absolutely gorgeous. My prayers are with Tuesday and your family. God Bless.
I thought of a lot of things to say but no words would work. I will pray for all of you..
God bless you and your beautiful family.
How I wish we could be there with you. We will be there in spirit and our prayers will be surronding you on this day and always!
You were our beautiful Angel,
we loved to hold you so close,
the softness of your baby skin like petals of a rose.
We loved it when we cuddled you and held you in our arms.
You were our little Angel
with sweet angelic charms.
We think back to memories so precious and so few, for one day God had chosen you to be His little angel too.
Your family is in my prayers. I cannot imagine what you are going through but will pray you find comfort in Him.
I am so deeply sorry for your loss.
I am so deeply sorry for your loss.
Good Evening,
My name is Becky Whetten and my daughter Cami is in Axel’s class.
I am so sorry for your loss…
I can’t even imagine!
Cami has a sister named Olivia and she turned 2 on Thanksgiving Day. Cami said she would be so sad if something happened to her sissy.
Axel has lots of good friends in his class; they will be there for him!
Take care of yourself and your family,
Becky, Will, Cami and Olivia Whetten
Such a sweet video…I’m so sorry.
My heart breaks for you. Reach out for support from those who’ve lost children. I will pray for your whole family. My son in heaven will play with your sweet Tuesday.
God Bless.
I am so truly sorry for the loss of your precious little Tuesday. I know that words are never, ever enough right now. Sending you my best wishes and prayers – for peace, strength, comfort and hope for the road ahead.
Praying for your family. May God bring to you His closeness and love at this time. With Deepest Sympathy, Jen from Southern California
Comforting words! Praying so right now!
1 Corinthians 15:54-57 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

I was hoping Tate would be clear of RSV by then. It doesn’t look that way. He is feeling well but the doc’s said he could still have the virus. I would hate to get anyone else sick. We will still go on walk and will thinking of Tuesday and your family. Take care.

Good Afternoon from Atlanta, GA
Oh how I wish I still lived in Colorado Springs. I was born and raised there. My husband brought me to Atlanta 36 years ago after our wedding. If I did live in Colorado I would come to see you and put my arms around you and the kids. I would come to pay tribute to a precious little girl. Bless you my blogger friend. Tuesday was strong and gives me strength to get through Breast Cancer for the second time. When I feel a little sorry for myself I think of Tuesday and I straighten up real quick. Thank you for sharing this darling girls story with the world.
All my and my families love go out to you and your family.
Our prayers are with you day and night.
God Bless You,
Miss Lila in Atlanta

What a beautiful mark that child has left on this planet. I know that words are pathetic and so while prayer is not tangible it is all I can do.
Prayers for enough grace for today.
Blessings to you and your loved ones. Blessings in your loss and your gain.
God bless you.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry for your loss.
We will be celebrating the life of your special princess here in Hawaii and thinking of you and your family. Love, Jen
My heart aches for you, especially as a mother of twins, but I trust that God will give each of your family members the strength to face each day, whatever it holds. I pray for healing and comfort…
Will be thinking of you and praying for you and your family from Scotland in the UK.
My heart breaks for you.
Love from donnamarie & david. xx
To be someday “Blinded By the Light,” is my favorite thought for myself while I have to stay here on earth.
I know that it is hard to let a loved one go, especially such a young heart such as Tuesday’s, but when you consider where she is now, it is an awesome thought to know that she is in the presence of our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ.
Hope the celebration and wagon parade for Tuesday is an amazing gathering of love.
Parying for strength for you and your family during your time of grief.
Jessica…..Dear sweet lady. I am so sorry to hear about your Tuesday. What a precious blessing you have held in your arms. God bless you guys as you honor this little sweety.
I am praying for your broken hearts. God bless you guys.
Tears streaming as I write this although this is my first time at your blog. I imagine if I backed up and read even more than I just did I’d be in hysteria.
We lost our first little girl to a 40 week stillbirth. My husband asked many times in the first year, “Would it have been worse if we had a couple years with her?” I had no answer. Now looking at your family, I think I know.
Many prayers as you navigate this heartbreaking time.
I am thinking and sending out prayers for peace for you and your whole family. I’m going to have a moment of silence on Tuesday for your beautiful daughter. Thank you so much for sharing her with us.
Hugs and peace.

I just wanted to say that I am so sorry for what you are going through. I myself have lost 2 children about 4 and 2 years ago when they were very young babies. It was the hardest sufering I hope God ever brings me through. I don’t know what else to say except, I’ve been there and know the heartbreak. I pray that you will be able to experience God’s peace. I wish I could be there to celebrate Tuesday’s life.
you don’t know me, but i am utterly humbled by your strength and grace. i cannot imagine what you must be going through now, but please know that there will be prayers from our house to yours.
your tuesday is so beautiful, such a precious spirit. i believe she will always be watching over you. it is not the way it is supposed to be, and you will always carry a sadness, but i truly hope you are able to find some peace in the days and weeks to come.
i wish there was something to say that was good enough, that would sound right in the face of something that seems so terrible. i hope you are able to take refuge in one another and the love of family and friends.
She is as blessed to have had the time on this earth with you as you have been with her.
My deepest sympathies to you and your wonderful family.
I just recently found your blog and added the precious picture to my blog so I can link straight to you guys and check in on updates!
God Bless!
Your baby was as blessed to have had the time on this earth with you as you were with her.
My sincerest sympathies to you and your family.
Been thinking about your family all weekend. Just praying for you all as if it is the air that I breathe.
Hugs, tears and prayers.
I live in Ohio, I will pray for you even though I can’t be there. Keri
Words cannot express how sorry we are for your loss.
Our family itself had several bouts with cancer: Last October a cousin of mine died from brain cancer. She left behind two little girls. I hope she will meet Tuesday in Heaven, and maybe watch over her.
Our nine-month old son is asleep in his crib. Crying for Tuesday reminded me of the uncertainty in life and to treasure every moment we have together. Moments fly to fast and are lost so easily in the daily routine between feeding, diaper changing, and play. For that reminder I am grateful.
Man can land on the moon and make photos accessible in an instant around the globe, but we cannot protect our children from little cells gone mad. All this pain and lost potential makes me feel helpless, angry, sad.
We regularly contribute to St Jude Research Hospital. If it is ok with you, our next contributions will be dedicated to Tuesday.
I wish you strength and patience for the road ahead. Though far too short, Tuesday’s life was filled with laughter and love – this will forever be true.
Mourn what is no more, rejoice that it has been.
We keep your family in our thoughts and prayers.
My thoughts and prayers are with you, Whitt family. I’m so sorry for your loss.
Deeply, deeply touched by the beauty in your words for your family.
I am just adding my voice to the thousands you will surely hear, praying for you and for Tuesday. I am so sorry her journey ended so soon. What an utterly gorgeous wee girl.
God bless you and keep you in his care and grace. My thoughts are with you all, and sweet Tuesday.
Totally wish we could be there. What a percious video and memory!
What a great idea to remember her!
We will keep on praying for your family!
Lots of Love.
Always here praying!
Psalms 18:2-6 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me. In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

I don’t know you and I have never seen your blog before today, but I am sitting here crying my eyes out for you. What a beautiful child, I am so sorry for your loss. I will pray for your family.
I came here from Aunt Becky at Mommy Wants Vodka. I am so very sorry for your devastating loss. Thinking of you all.
Dear Lord,
Please please bless this family. Please watch over them and comfort them and ease this pain. It is so heavy right now. There is a child who is not with them and they are in pain.
Blessed be Your Holy Name!

I just found your blog today– and my heart hurts for your family.
I believe in God, and I believe in an afterlife, and I know you will see your beautiful daughter again.
My prayer is that God will carry you through this terrible time and send the Holy Spirit to comfort you and give you the peace you need to make it day to day.
Much love coming your way.
How beautiful to see them dancing together.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. Sending hugs, love, and strength to you all.
Love, Sara from Savannah.
I am so sorry. I don’t know you nor you me, but I wanted you to know some stranger out here in blog land is praying for you and your family. God bless you all.
I am a stranger, brought here today from Angel Kayla Weber’s site. I have gone all the way back through your blog. I love yours and Charley’s sense of humor, your love, and your beautiful family!! My heart is freshly broken at finding the light that is Tuesday, only after her light has moved on. I honestly will be praying for you, all of you! There are no words. I wish I could be there Saturday, I wish I could wrap my arms around you, I wish I could go to heaven and bring Tuesday home all healthy and glowing…I wish!
I live in Georgia, my grandparents were in Colorado for many years. Now, that is where I want to be. Godspeed Tuesday! You are forever locked in my heart! I do love you!
There aren’t words big enough to express how sorry I am for your loss. Love and strength to you and yours during this difficult time.
Much love and prayers to your family. I will be there in spirit. A beautiful video. Reading about Tuesday and your family’s story is heartbreaking. I am so sorry for your loss but hope you can find some peace in the strength, joy and beauty that Tuesday brought to life.
I’ve only just today learned of your blog and family. (((hugs))) and prayers for your family. I will be with you in spirit.
I wrote this song a couple years ago when my moms best friends child passed away. I will have it recorded, and I hope you find some comfort with the lyrics
She said momma dont start to cry
remember it wont be long till you join me in the sky
and Ill draw pictures of me
and just in case you take took long, mom, I made you these
Paper wings
so you and I can fly high together
paper wings
Mom I cut them so perfectly
Momma you can always be with me
Just wear your paper wings
She giggled so innocent when she lost those little curls
she said now look like daddy, Im even more his little girl
such amazing faith for a child of only three
and just before god called her home
she said momma come see me
with your paper wings
so you and I can fly high together
paper wings
mom I cut them so perfectly
momma you can always be with me
just wear your paper wings
BRIDGE
such a weak weak body
but such a strong smile
lord if only we could all have the faith of a child
paper wings
so you and I can fly high together
paper wings
mom I cut them so perfectly
momma you can always be with me
just wear your paper wings
I have you in my heart.
Your family is in our hearts and prayers!
I will be there in spirit. Sending so many prayers your way.
I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my prayers. May God bless and give you comfort.
Dear Tuesday’s Family,
I just came across your blog from a friend of a friend. I am in tears. Heart broken…. I am so glad to see that you are a believer and that you have faith to see you through this. And know that your angel is now in heaven and you will see her again. There are truly no words. I just feel so that I had to write something. It is so hard at times like these to see clearly as to what God has in mind. I struggle when I hear things like this. I promise to hug and kiss my month old daughter every single chance I get…usually do….but even more so now. Know that you are being prayed for by people you don’t even know….Tuesday has reach that far! May God bless you all and provide you with the peace that only he can.
With love, Natalie from Dallas
I’m not sure how I got to your blog but I hope to encourage you with a reminder that your sweet little girl now walks with Jesus in a perfect Heaven where she will never be in pain again. Today she plays around the throne of our King! God bless you in your attempt to carry on life as normal, if normal is possible.
You will forever be in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you and I pray God will wrap his arms around you and hold you during this time.
I can’t say it enough. this video is SO special. Thank you for sharing.
We live in Colorado too and I would love to come out and support your family. Unfortunately, we are going out of town this weekend. You guys will still be in my thoughts and prayers.
I am so sorry. I’ll be praying for you as you begin this journey, and learn how to negotiate life without Tuesday’s physical presence. May Jesus wrap you close in his arms and carry you, as he did me. He’s really faithful that way.
This may be a bit soon for you to see…but I LOVE the song on this video: http://conorbootheandgirls.blogspot.com/2007/09/home_30.html
I am sharing it because I wish I had known about it and sung it at our little Jenna’s memorial service.
HUGS…

I’m so so sorry! Will be lifting your family up in prayer as you miss your sweet little girl!
We will gladly take a very SPIRITED “Wagie Ride” in Tuesday’s honor on Saturday!!! You are all in our thoughts and prayers to ask God that he hold your hand as you take the walk of healing….

The Reynolds Family
Just learned about your loss from some of your regular blog friends. I am so sorry for your loss and hope that this celebration of Tuesday’s life will be of some comfort to you. You do certainly have many friends in the blog world who you have touched with your gift of sharing your life with them. I am inspired by your courage. I wish you peace and some days of joy remembering your little girl. Blessings from Oklahoma.
Lifting you and your family up with lots of thoughts and prayers. I have also asked others to remember your family in prayer as well. “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Phil 4:7
May Gods love continue to be with you and your family. I am praying for you.
I just found your blog and I’m in tears. Tuesday is SO SO SO beautiful. I wish I could be at her memorial, though I have just found out about her but I don’t live nearby. I am very sorry and no words are adequate. *HUGS*
My heart breaks for you ! Prayers and thoughts to you and your entire family! I lost my Dustin several years back…I understand your heartache! In His love… Stacy
These verses are so comforting. Know that I’m praying!
Revelation 21:1-4 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Still praying for your family…
Mary Anna said it perfect….”hugs, tears and prayers”. She seems like she has such a wonderful little spirit, and what a wonderful way for her family to remember it. God Bless.
I come to your story a bit late. Or maybe right on time. I love that you’ve opened yourself and your family up to the world with such raw emotion. Your family is beautiful. I hope Tuesday is looking down on all the beautiful little girls of the world.
I wish we could be there! it’s a bit far for us, sadly. We will be praying, and doing our virtual “wagie ride.” What a beautiful video, so priceless!
With a broken heart I send these words your Tuesday’s light will shine, She touched the earth in many ways her soul was just divine.
Although you had to say goodbye something no parent should ever do,
Know that she’s no longer in pain now and up there waiting for you.
Your story touched my heart I have been following for a while. I will be there with you and your family in spirit. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I wrote that poem for you. Sending you all my love. Take care of yourself and each others.
Tears flooded my eyes reading your recent posts. I don’t know you, but will be praying for you a lot in the coming weeks. This blog has changed my life… I plan on starting today to have more quality time with my daughter in Tuesday’s honor.
I have been following your story for quite some time, but have never left a message. Perhaps you might find some comfort from the story below.
The Story of the Dragonfly
Once, in a little pond, in the muddy water under the lily pads, there lived a little water beetle in a community of water beetles. They lived a simple and comfortable life in the pond with few disturbances and interruptions.
Once in a while, sadness would come to the community when one of their fellow beetles would climb the stem of a lily pad and would never be seen again. They knew when this happened; their friend was dead, gone forever.
Then, one day, one little water beetle felt an irresistible urge to climb up that stem. However, he was determined that he would not leave forever. He would come back and tell his friends what he had found at the top.
When he reached the top and climbed out of the water onto the surface of the lily pad, he was so tired, and the sun felt so warm, that he decided he must take a nap. As he slept, his body changed and when he woke up, he had turned into a beautiful blue-tailed dragonfly with broad wings and a slender body designed for flying.
So, fly he did! And, as he soared he saw the beauty of a whole new world and a far superior way of life to what he had never known existed.
Then he remembered his beetle friends and how they were thinking by now he was dead. He wanted to go back to tell them, and explain to them that he was now more alive than he had ever been before. His life had been fulfilled rather than ended.
But, his new body would not go down into the water. He could not get back to tell his friends the good news. Then he understood that their time would come, when they, too, would know what he now knew. So, he raised his wings and flew off into his joyous new life!

I just read your entire blog today, after seeing how many of the other bloggers I read have been touched by Tuesday’s story. There is nothing I can say that hasn’t already been said, but I wanted you to know that there is yet another family out there who has been touched by Tuesday’s life, and another little girl who got even more hugs from her mom today than usual in memory of Tuesday.
Ours prayers and love are coming from my family to yours.
beautiful.
I wish I had something to say that could provide you all comfort, but I know Tuesday is in Heaven, sitting on Jesus’ lap where there is no more cancer, no more pain. I am so deeply sorry for you family’s loss. Please know my family and I are praying for you all.
I regret that my family and I cannot be at Tuesday’s memorial. What a beautiful way to honor your daughter’s life! I hope the day is filled with love and that Tuesday’s presence is felt by everyone! Her time here was short, but her impact is everlasting!
A friend sent me the link to your blog, and I just read through many of your posts. . .especially since July. I couldn’t stop reading–your honest words about your struggle, your joys, and your pain have sucked me into your world for a bit. And now I’m weeping on my couch for all that you have lost and all that you have suffered. I cry for all the suffering in this world. It’s sometimes too much to bear.
And, God is with us and holding us through it all. . .and one day Tuesday will rise! We know this, we trust this, we hold onto this promise through the One who was sent to turn death into life.
My prayers are with all of you. . .

My boys an I will be doing a “wagie-ride” in honor of Tuesday tomorrow at 10am our time here in Washington, 11am your time in CO. Prayers and much love being extended to you. There are just no more words…
Charlie, Jessica, Axel, Spencer, and Piper,
I am sorry about your loss. I wish I could join you in celebrating Tuesday’s life, but I am administering the ACT today. Charlie, I had no idea we lived so close until I heard from Chrissy. I have you all in my prayers. I forwarded the information on to my mom, Darlene, she is hoping to come by today. Sincerely, Liz
We will be there in spirit and heart. My heart breaks for your family. I hope God can hold you all in his hands and help you find comfort somehow. Our prayers are with you.
Thinking of Sweet Tuesday right now, and praying for peace and comfort for her grieving family.
Your family is in my thoughts and prayers especially today. My husband and I took our 2 year old son for a “wagie ride” around our neighborhood in honor of Tuesday at 12:45pm EST. My son loves watching your daughters dance in the blinded by the light video and he dances right along with them every time I play it.
Thinking of and praying for you & your family today and in the coming days.
thought about you guys all day today….. I’m sure it was a beautiful celebration. Prayers and hugs to you all! Julie.
Even though we could not be there, we did our own little “wagie ride” and went to visit the zoo where the children’s laughter filled the air and we were “blinded by the light”. All I could think of was sweet Tuesday.
I just found your blog yesterday. Your unending faith is inspiring. I don’t think there are words to describe the sorrow I felt reading your daughters story.
I hope that in the next days, weeks, and months your grief will lessen, but your memories of sweet Tuesday remain as beautiful as ever.
We discovered your blog after following links from other various blogs. What a beautiful little girl. My ten year old daughter just cried and cried after reading about Tuesday and seeing her dancing on the video clip. This morning, she said to me, “Mum, my two favourite little girls are my sister Charlotte (1) and that cute little Tuesday”.
We will ALWAYS associate “Blinded by the Light” with the delightful Tuesday. We will play it in the car constantly in her honour!
Bless you all,
Tracy and family (Brisbane, Australia)
