It is wonderful!! You are a great writer. As I read it, it actually sounded healing - almost as if putting it in to written words and remembering the details helps in some way.
I'm not sure there is any way for a person to really be able sympathize with this type of experience. The pain is much too deep within the soul for any of us to understand unless we have been through the same loss. The overwhelming amount of love we feel for our children when they are born can surely only be compared to the immense amount of pain that must be felt if they leave us much too early in this life.
But... this kind of blog is good for all of us. I think helps to remind each of us that although you look and act wonderful, there is a huge part of you, although unseen, that still lives on each day and that you are aware of at all times. She is both the reason you may feel no purpose, yet the reason you feel complete purpose - every day!
Keep it up, girl! YOU ROCK!! XOXO

Nat, I just sat down and read your blog about Paige, even though I was at the hospital soon after, I never really knew all of the details you have been sharing, it brought tears to my eyes again as I realized what you must have been going through for those horrible hours right after the accident. You are my dearest friend and my heart aches for you. I want you to know that I love you like you were my sister, you are my sister and I think of you all the time. I miss you and wish we lived closer to one another. I'm so proud of you for putting this blog up so that others can heal and learn from your experiences. You are an amazing woman and I feel blessed and lucky to have as my friend. I'll call you soon.

What a sweet blog to read! I will always remember cute little Paige as she sat on my lap at my Mom's funeral. Remember, she wouldn't get off, it was like we had this little connection. Maybe she knew her time was short and mom's spirit was there so close. While in California that same night of the accident we were stuck in traffic after coming home from the BYU, UCLA game. Someone said there was a serious accident a few miles ahead. Little did I know at the time it was you. I think of you often and how brave and strong you are. I wish you every happiness and joy! Losing children early makes me grateful for our parents were there to welcome them home! XOXO

It really reminds those that read it, how short and precious life is, and what a blessing the family is. My thoughts are with you, and I hope you recieve the peace and comfort you need to get through this! Life is great, and we are lucky to experience it, even the really tough things, it all has its purpose and meaning. I wish you the best!!

Nat, I loved reading this. I remember too vividly parked on the freeway and Juleen fighting with the officers to get yours and Paige's luggage and then waiting at the hospital with Chase and Morgan and Stefan. You and your family will ALWAYS have a special place in mine and my familys heart! We love you!!
