Wednesday afternoon Josh and I were able to go down to the hospital to say our final goodbyes with Sammie. On Monday we had spent about 45 minutes with her, so we knew we didn't need a lot of time but we wanted a final moment with her. She had looked so peaceful all week, and today was no different. She had her blanket and penguin with her from the beginning and we just kept waiting for her to wake up.
Josh and I spent about 25 minutes with Samantha as we talked about what a big part of our lives she was. We held her, kissed her, and cried. My heart just broke thinking about how it was humanly possible for my sister and her husband to have to say goodbye. I knew it was going to be so much harder for them, but it was hard to comprehend because I couldn't imagine how it could get any harder. Josh and I cried, and cried, as we held each other. It didn't seem real. We have hardly slept as we can't think of anything else but this little girl that has changed our lives in such a short time. We finally got the strength to leave the room as we had just experienced the hardest thing we have ever had to go through.
