Teeny Tiny Toes...
On Saturday morning approximately 2:38, our little prince Carter passed away in the arms of his Mother. We all sat and cried, and held him. His little spirit is no longer in his body, but is comforting his Mother. He will forever be in our hearts, and we will not forget him and his valiant struggle to stay here on this Earth. I'm sure he knew what a wonderful family he had been born into, and that's why he wanted to stay. This little boy was obedient when his Father in Heaven called him back home. I'm sure he knew of the blessings that would come to our family in the days, weeks and years to come. What an amazing spirit this little boy has. I feel honored and blessed to have been in the same room with him to feel his spirit and his love.
Sweet little Tori is fighting to stay here as well. I'm sure she also knows what a wonderful family she has come to. What a loving Mom and Dad, along with Grandmas and Grandpas, Aunts and Uncles...she's fighting really hard to stay with them. We all want her to continue to fight, but if our Heavenly Father calls her home also, we know she will be obedient like her brother. She can hold onto your finger with a tight grip. My Great Grandmother always said that a tight grip always means that you have a strong testimony. I'm sure Tori is very aware of the other side and the plan of our Heavenly Father...I know because of her tight grip! She raises her hand high above her and her Mother puts her finger in her hand and little Tori brings her Mother's hand to her chest.
What a bitter sweet time this has been. Our family has come together, and i've seen more service in the last 5 days than ever before in my life. It is such an honor to be counted among these Peterson women, and I am eternally grateful.

Here's some hope, there was a little girl next to Bitty Baby in the NICU, she was 1 lb 1oz at birth, stayed for over 80 days, but she's home and healthy now.
And another little girl from school weighed only 12 oz at birth, is now 15 years old and only has some hearing loss and slight learning disabilities, but is beautiful, healthy, and happy and loved! (and think how far technology has come in 15 years!)
You write so sweetly about such a hard, emotional time. I DID cry over little Carter--what a darling boy. It's uplifting to hear how this has strengthened your already strong testimony. I hope all goes well with tiny Tori in the next little while.
Sending love your way,
Crystal

Hey Tami,
I've always heard that premature girls are fighters. Tori's tough!
Thanks for the e-mail. Let me know if there is anything I can do for your family. I was serious about the funeral. Give me a call when you know what's happening.
