""I just had to write to you. I watched the video that you made of your journey with your daughter. I couldn't even finish it. It made me go in and stand next to Payten while she was sleeping in her crib and just cry. I have to say that I have so much respect and admiration for you and your husband. I can't imagine going through what you have gone through. I love the way you talk about Kennedy and share her story. Its incredible how you also share the stories of other babies. I just wanted you to know that her story has really touched me. I never fail to thank God every day for everything he has given me. You and your daughter have helped me realize how blessed I truly am. Thank you for sharing your story on facebook. You are an incredible person. Good luck and God Bless.""
