I'm so sorry to hear he passed away. A friend shared your blog with me and I have enjoyed following Tripp's story- what a fighter and happy little guy.

My heart aches for the loss of this sweet little boy. I know it's nothing compared to what you must be feeling. Please know that you are in my prayers and I am continuing to lift you up to God.

I started to pray for you, specifically prayed for peace. Then all of a sudden this song popped in my head and I knew it was for you. "My Hope Is In You" by Aaron Shust. Have you heard it? I hope you get a chance to listen to it. The lyrics I thought of were "My hope is in You Lord, all the day long. I won't be shaken by drought or storm. The peace that passes understanding is my song and I sing...my hope is in You Lord." God Bless You, Courtney. :)~*~ Lexi ~*~https://www.blogger.com/profile/15581134893743562745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5348155237652648174.post-38636968999436956032012-01-30T12:02:50.761-06:002012-01-30T12:02:50.761-06:00Courtney, You are a wonderful person and mother......Courtney, You are a wonderful person and mother...

I came across an article about his passing first of all, and I wanted to know more. My heart aches to read about sweet babies going into Jesus' arms. Tripp has definitely changed my life. I read his blog from the very beginning. You are very strong and just amazing. Tripp was an amazing child. I do believe that God had him on this earth to make a difference in so many people's lives. When I get a cut or something I think of the pain that Tripp endured and that my pain is nothing. He was so strong too. I am appreciating my children more too. I believe that Tripp wanted to spend as much time as he could with you. I also believe that he was concerned for his momma. He was simply amazing. Children have a way of caring for their parents. Thank you for Tripp's blog. It is very educational indeed. It has caused me to have more compassion for others. God is still working that in me.

I wish words were that powerful and they could take away your pain. <br /><br />I think about you and Tripp all the time. I think about your Mom too. <br /><br />I want you to check out this story:<br /><br />http://www.thedailyown.com/oprah’s-lifeclass-lesson-17-videos-from-you-can-rise-from-the-ashes-of-your-life<br /><br />I'm not sure if you've heard of this woman, Christine McFadden, or if you saw her on Oprah's Show "Life Class" -- but I watched this just after I lost my Dad and it brought me comfort. I hope it can do the same for you. <br /><br />I know you will get through this, Courtney. You are a strong woman, a brave woman, and you have so much more to give to this world. I know you will do amazing things in the future, all in the name of your baby, Tripp. And through you, his memory will live on. <br /><br />Sending you my STRENGTH, my prayers for peace, my love, and many many hugs!<br /><br />XOXO,<br />Katie & FamilyHouse 54https://www.blogger.com/profile/11437923643879794027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5348155237652648174.post-84195142551861666702012-01-29T13:35:02.279-06:002012-01-29T13:35:02.279-06:00beautifully written. thinking of you and your fami...beautifully written. thinking of you and your family courtney xxcorrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15523436346854990035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5348155237652648174.post-78302102142214279952012-01-29T12:23:13.501-06:002012-01-29T12:23:13.501-06:00Wow!

You are a strong woman, with a wonderful support system behind you. It will take time, as I can imagine, to deal with what has happened, but please don't rush yourself. Take the time YOU need to heal and deal with it all. Just know that Tripp is up in Heaven and he's looking down on you. He will forever be your angel.

She is my rainbow baby and spend 4 days in the NICU after she was born. They didn't find anything wrong with her (she turned blue after her first bath) and all the tests came back normal. I read through your entire blog and my heart breaks for you. You are the most incredible mother I have ever heard of. What you did for your son day in and out and the strength you had to be able to do those things for him. You found strength in God and I think the comment that moved me the most was when you promised your son that you would live the best life you could so you could see him in Heaven and give him the biggest, tightest hug. I wish and will pray for you to be surrounded by peace and love. If one day, you decide to have another child, I wish nothing but the best for you. I will tell you that as a mother that had a miscarriage (nothing like what you have been through) that I am so glad that I now have my daughter from just the 4 weeks I have had her in my life.Suzyq76bellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04496546158337580795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5348155237652648174.post-75407664984308603142012-01-27T21:54:27.233-06:002012-01-27T21:54:27.233-06:00I came here months ago from Jonah's blog.

You showed him unconditional love, made sacrifices beyond any expectations, and are an example to all parents. I was looking at your collage from the funeral, and I just smile when I see the top picture in the middle. After smiling, I thought, gosh, shouldn't I feel bad for him, with how awful his sores look in that picture. Yet, what I see there is pure love, him loving you back, despite the pain and suffering. And so what really shines through is that sweet smile. EB can't ever take that away, it didn't define him, and it isn't what you shared between you. Know that you are being prayed for often.Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17958251786064983632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5348155237652648174.post-33359972145526764242012-01-27T20:45:16.038-06:002012-01-27T20:45:16.038-06:00God Bless you!
