Things have been extra hard emotionally since having Reese. During my labor I often thought about Patrick and what he might be doing at that moment. I felt like I was doing pretty good emotionally until they told me I was ready to push. I lost it and couldn't stop crying. How I wished he was there to hold my hand, to cut the cord and to introduce Will to his new baby sister. Now that she is here, I find myself picturing him sitting on his recliner, rocking her little body in his big arms. He never liked to hold other people's babies but he was so good with Will. It always made me laugh when he refused someone else's baby. What would he think? Would he be extra delicate with her? I know she would have him wrapped around those long fingers of hers. A friend of mine pointed out that this photo from our Kauai trip in September had all 4 of us in it! I didn't even realize that until she mentioned it.

and our last family photo of all 4 of us at Will's birthday party on 01.04.09

Aww Erynn..I've been thinking & praying for you since the birth of your lil girl. Just know that Reese Paytin Rooney is 50% Patrick (so thankfully you still have a part of him physically here + Will). She is such a gift from above - I hope you find some peace sometime soon. XOXO - I'm here if you need to talk! Farra
Those are beautiful family pictures. Reese would so have P wrapped around her fingers. Hugs! xoxoxo
