Breaks my heart that any mother has to experience such a loss... sending all my love your way on those days that you really don't feel you can go on, on those days that you really feel like you will never get up from your knees. All my love and prayers.

2010-02-02T18:34:17.848-10:00

I know others have said this...but you have changed my life. You have changed the way I look at my children, my life, death, my faith...all of it. You have such a way with words; your writing and your photography are inspiring. I pray everyday for you and your family. What a blessing to know that you will see Gavin again and be with him for eternity.

Natalie- I have been following your blog for some time now..I saw posts for prayers for your family through Mike Colon's facebook. I felt like i should probably post a comment at some point since i have been reading your inspirational words and blogs every day.

I have to admit, through the years I had lost some of my faith and fervency for the Lord. Your blog..your words..your faith..your sweet boy..has renewed my own faith in God. I am in awe of your strength. You have made me desire to know God again, to be thankful amidst the trials, and to be a woman who knows who she is in Him.

Thank you.

infinite blessings to you and your family.

Natalie, I love you and keep you and Richie, your precious sons, Annie and Greg - all of you - in my prayers every day. Thank you for sharing your heart. I wish I could hug you and help make tomorrow easier. Carol

Keep holding on, sweet friend. Just like God knows the number of hairs on your head, He also knows the number of breaths that you breathe and tears that you cry. I am praying for you daily. Love from across the country, Leslie wilson

I stumbled upon your blog from another blog which I found from another blog. You have really inspired me in ways you will never know. I am praying for you and your beautiful family, please keep up your amazing attitude. The world needs more people like you!

Hi. My friend Taryn recommended your blog. I am so sorry for you loss. I recently lost a baby too, though not in the same way. I would never compare our situations because both are very different. Your blog is wonderful and I appreciate you sharing your life and being so candid. You will be in my prayers.

2010-02-02T13:42:44.348-10:00

one of my current favorite quotes is "it's not faith if you're using your eyes" the cheesy part is that it comes from a pop song, not any truly profound source. but i think it's true; thank you for showing us what true faith really looks like. if i'm ever half the saint you are i'll consider it a success.

So beautiful.

2010-02-02T11:37:26.803-10:00

You know, i cry every time I read your posts. You are such an inspiration to me. I complain too much and pray too little. I cannot wait until you hold your sweet boy again. You know, I think he's always with you. And he must have been so special to heavenly father for him to need him with him badly enough to call him away from such a dedicated mommy.

thanks Natalie, thanks for sharing.

I never thought of that famous song in that way before. It brought tears to my eyes. I think I like it even better now...

2010-02-02T08:44:13.333-10:00

i love your blog. i love your voice in all of your posts. i love that you are an instrument in the hands of God. because little do you know how you are helping me (and others i'm sure) with your insight and quotations. we are on completely different paths but everything you have been sharing has very intimately and personally applied directly to me, although with separate experiences. thank you for being so Christlike and such a light for all of us through your own intimate strife. thank you, thank you.
