Cole and Colton Johnson

Saying hello and goodbye at the same time is the hardest thing we hope to have to ever endure. It is an experience that you would not wish on your worst enemy. It is a pain that words cannot describe, a void in life that may not ever completely be filled. As Cassie and I have talked and tried to understand why this had to be, we can only take comfort in the truths of the gospel. We thank you for your thoughts,and prayers during this difficult time.

I love you guys! You are in my prayers. I really don't have any words that could comfort you. But just remember that they are with our Father and you will see them again.

Thank you guys so much for letting me come and see you yesterday!

My heart is still breaking for you! I have been thinking, Cole and Colton were not a mistake, God doesn’t make mistakes. I'm sure that they were just to perfect and pure that their spirits did not need to endure the pains and trials of this earth.

Looking at their little hand prints and foot prints reminded me of a quote I once heard; "There is no foot too small that it cannot leave an impact on this world." I think that is so true with these little guys! They have touched so many lives and really made us remember our plan on earth! Thanks for sharing this hard and special time with us!

My prayers are with you both! I hope that comfort and peace and feel your heart.

Ryan and Cassie,
This is Amy (Ericksen) Robinson. I have been following your blog and we have been praying for you. We will continue to do so. You two must be so strong for Heavenly Father to give you such a great trial. He is shaping you into what He wants you to be. Your girls are absolutely beautiful! Ryan, Shaelynn looks just like you I think. Thank you for blogging about the twins. I know it probaby wasn't easy, but I appreciate it. Those two little boys have already impacted lives. Thanks for sharing them.

Cassie,
I love you. It's all been said, but I love you and you are in my thoughts and prayers. You are probably not up to company now, but I will call you in awhile when things settle down.

Brittany said...

I can not imagine the trial that this has been for you and your family. During these difficult times please know that there are many people who are praying for your family, us included.

Janille said...

I hope you don't mind, I used your family picture on my blog.

Are your girls back home? I'm sure it was good to have a few days off, but I'm positive you guys missed them.

I hope you are feeling even a little better! Go a day at a time, don't rush things! It's all part of the grieving process (1. Denial 2. Anger 3. Bargaining
4. Depression 5. Acceptance) go a step at a time.

I am so thankful to have a brother and sister like you guys, and thank you for letting me be a part of your life, and your girls! I love you guys, and will always pray for you!

Cassie and Ryan, how blessed you are that our father in heaven chose you to make the bodies of PERFECT spirits. They are so perfect that they didn't need to come to Earth to prove them selves. You are so blessed and now they will be watching over you forever. They are running and playing together. You did good Cassie and Ryan in your work that was planned for us. I love you little sis more than you'll ever know.... Tam
