It is with such a heavy heart that I write to inform all my wonderful family and friends of Tristan's homecoming with the Lord. I wallowed in bed this morning trying to have most of the day pass before I had to get up to reality and when I went in the kitchen to a cup of coffee from Mom, she informed me of the news.
Tristan had a really good day yesterday and his Daddy noticed that things were not going well so Yvette made it home in time and Tristan passed away at 4:40 pm. He lived 56 wonderful days. I am so thankful for the time his family had but know this must be so difficult to let him go. I ask that you especially pray for Tristan's brothers as they adored their little miracle brother. Our children are so precious and to see them hurt is so very difficult - ask that God gives them the understanding they need.
Please pray for this family. Only God can give them what it takes to make it through this.
With love,
Kim

It has been a heart breaking week or so reading the blogs on these very special babies.
Your family, too, is in my thoughts and prayers.

Kim, I am thankful that you are getting some rest... or at least some time alone in bed. As I am praying for the Hostetters, so am I praying for you and yours. I cannot imagine how hard these days must be for you, with the added weight of knowing so many who are walking such a similar path to your own, even in this moment. If you need a breather, to laugh or cry, or just to scream, you know where to find me. I love you and, like you, I wish we could all just be together in moments like these. But we are united in Christ and He is meeting every need, in every home, in every scenario. And He is the ultimate Healer. How awesome it is to know our babies see His precious face even in this moment. We will yet praise Him.
Thinking of you and your family...and praying for you.
I too was saddened by this news of little Tristan. We can not understand such tragedy but we must not lose our faith. I know this must be so hard for you, reliving this so soon after your own loss. I will continue to pray for your sweet family as I lift the Hostetters up to Jesus.

Kim: You have just been swamped emotionally, with Mary Grace, Maddox and Tristan. I wanted you to know I am still praying for you and your family. I know these are dark days. Let Jesus and His love hold you tight.
Kim,
These past couple of weeks have been a series of after shocks of heartbreaking proportion. The news of Tristan was so sad. I can only imagine how hard it was for them to watch him go so suddenly. My heart and prayers go out for them.
I think of you and Chris and the girls every day and ask the Lord to carry all of you gently. I can only imagine how hard it is now that you are settled in back at home. I am praying daily for you as you try to heal physically and emotionally. I pray you are getting rest and help in any way you need it right now. May Jesus hold you tight and be your everything in these days. You are loved.

Hi, Kim! My name is Michelle and I have been following your story for a while now and wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you. I know we have not personally met but you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I can't begin to say I understand but just so you know that my heart breaks along with yours. I attended Tristan H.'s "Celebration of Life" Service today and it was such an inspiration to me to see how faithful and strong the H. family is! You, your husband and 3 girls are just as amazing!!! You truely are an inspiration to me and my family! Please know that you are an amazing mother to your 3 precious angels!!
it is natural how, when the first leg of the journey ends, the number of people commenting seems to slow down. i know that this next part of the journey for you and your family is difficult and i want you to know that many will continue to peek in on you and pray for you, not forgetting you or your precious mary grace.
I am stopping in this morning to let you know that my prayers continue for you daily as this journey is so new for you. I am asking for gentleness and peace to guide you through every moment of the day and for you to know you are loved by many who are lifting you up in prayer. There is no right way to walk this road, just the way it comes to you each day Kim. I am praying you through and I love your heart.

Praying for all y'all. :)
I am continuing to pray for your family as well as the Hostetters and you all continue on this journey. I "check" on your precious family often, and will keep lifting you up to our Heavenly Father, the one who will bring you through the darkness and into the light. God Bless You!
Hi Kim,
Stopping by again to let you know I begin this new month with prayers for you and your family. May He meet your every need and fill you with His peace, joy, and love. You are in my heart.

Continuing to pray for you and your family.
Thinking about you this Saturday morning and praying for you Kim. You are not alone and you are loved.

Found your blog because of the name match; I don't believe in coincidences, though--I have friends who had a precious son born to them in 2006 who had T-18. Walking alongside them as they prepared for their angel was a hard road. I had suffered a miscarriage earlier that year, and our babies would have been due at the same time. Clearly, the Lord brought me to your blog tonight. Praying His blessing over you and your family right now.
