Faith is a hard thing to per-fect, to have even... and even when you do, when you have a sure knowledge of the after life when your the one asked to let go someone far too early it's not even remotely easy. Reid and Kristen Clarke Mason knew that might have to say good bye to their sweet baby girl and when that time came they did it with such beautiful grace! To be among this family for such a sacred experience was something I will never forget. The overwhelming feeling love, support, endurance, gratitude, heartbreak, grief and in the most beautiful quite way, celebration.... was incredible and ever so humbling to witness. After all was said and done, the family had left and it was just Reid and Kristen left with their sweet sara in the room, the medical staff comforted them and began to tell them everyone grieves different, etc... and Kristen grabbed for Reid's arm after kissing her baby girl for the last time and responded with "We will be okay, we know it's not forever!" My heart quite literally burst at the moment. I sank into the corner and was honored to see such faith come from a mother who was just asked to endure what I might feel was too much. This family is beautiful in every sense of the word! Sara was a beautiful, sweet angel that just needed her body and they seemed to understand that. Inspiring does not even cover it! All my love to the Clarke and Mason Families!
