Peace for Ainsley

I can't believe that I am posting this...

Ainsley passed away early Saturday morning.   After almost seventeen months, her poor little body was just so tired from fighting  for so long.  We held her and kissed her and told her how much we loved her over and over until she left us.

The last time she was awake was Monday, May 7.  This is a picture of her from that day.  Happy as always despite her struggles.  This is how I will always remember her - my happy, silly, smiley little Ainsley.  My little meatloaf.


The sweetest, happiest baby.  Ever.
 
I am grateful for every minute I had with Ainsley and I would have sacrificed anything if it meant that I could have more time with her.  I guess I never really understood the saying, "Rest In Peace" until now.  No more sickness, no more struggle to breathe - just peaceful rest for our sweet girl, who deserved everything good and happy in this world.
 
She changed our lives in all of the best ways.

There's a song we sing at church , the words are talking about Heaven- "no weaping, no hurt or pain. No hiding, you hold me now, hold me now. No suffring, no sin or pain"... there's more, but that's the main part. I truely believe she and evelyn are back together, frolicking and breathing free.

tbean said...

I've been following your family since before Ainsley was born and was so shocked and so saddened to learn this news today. I cannot imagine the pain you feel. I don't know that words from strangers help at all to ease that pain. But I wanted to thank you for sharing your sweet, funny, beautiful daughter with all of us so that we could love and admire her (and your whole family) from afar. My deepest condolences.

Amelia said...

I'm so sorry. She was such a beautiful, happy, wonderful little girl. We have all fallen in love with her through the stories and the pictures you have shared with us here. Thank you for sharing her with us. Much love to you, Mark, and Olivia in this difficult time.

Holding my LO extra tight as I think of you and your family.

mysharona76 said...

I am so sorry to hear this! May the days be gentle on you and your loved ones!! :( HUGS!!!

Laurel said...

Oh God, Jen, I am a stranger but utterly distraught for you all. I never thought Ainsley could leave so soon, cannot believe she is gone. She was totally an adorable meatloaf and she looked so happy; I think she was smiling in every single picture you ever posted for her. It shouldn't be allowed that she can't be there smiling for you now. And it shouldn't be allowed that your family can experience so much grief and loss in such a short timespan.

I'm glad she is at peace, and glad you find some measure of peace yourself in that... just wish she never had so much to struggle for in the beginning. Most of all, she was loved so much while she was here, and loved you and was so happy with you, and no matter the length of time that means everything. I'm so glad you had her even if it was so cruelly short.

My greatest condolences, but words fall so short.

Redrockcity said...

Jdal said...

It's a loss for all of us, we'll all miss her painfully adorable smile. Those cheeks! She was so lucky to have such a great family, and we were lucky to know her. My heart aches for you sweetheart. She will never be forgotten. Promise.

Jessie said...

I am so sorry. I will be praying for you and your family. I hope that Ainsley is truly at peace and is playing with her sister totally free and forever smiling. I know that Evelyn was there to welcome her to her Father.

This, all of this, is more than anyone should have to endure, ever. And yet you do it with grace and humor and love and strength. Those little girls couldn't have a better mother. Man, there is going to be a heck of a mother's day party for you in heaven when you eventually make it up there! Wishing you peace and hope and strength from afar. Please let us all know if there is anything we can do to show how much we love a total internet stranger who has managed to teach us so much about being a mother in even the hardest of times.

Jen,
I've followed you since I started my IVF journey years ago. When we got pregnant at the same time I was thrilled. When our babies were born a day apart I couln't believe it. When my son came home from the NICU I couldn't stop thinking about you and Ainsley still there. With every milestone and adjusted milestone I've thought of Ainsley and watched as you celebrated with her. I've been so grateful for you sharing your beautiful daughters with all of us. You have given more than you will ever realize. I will always remember Ainsley and her smiling face.
Thank you
Joy

I am so sorry that Ainsley is no longer here with you...her wonderful family. I am grateful to know that she has finally found some peace from her pain and struggles. My thoughts are with you and your family.

I never ever saw this story ending this way, I was just waiting and willing her to breathe so she could go home. I'm so sorry. My baby was due on the same day as the twins were and so I can't even begin to grasp how you must be feeling. Ainsley was the very best xxx

I cannot say how sorry I am to see this. I am heartbroken for you and your family. Your blog has helped me so much in the past--if only there was anything I could do for you.

Oh Jen, my deepest, deepest, heartfelt condolences. My heart is broken. I have followed your journey for many years and wish you and your family nothing but peace and light. Ainsley's strength, spunk, joy and smiles will live on in the hearts and minds of all of your readers across the world. Thank you for sharing her with us, and hopefully we can share your pain and lighten that burden for you just a little bit. Much, much love to you, Mark, Olivia, and your extended families.

Oh, Jen, I'm so very for your loss. I wish I had words to tell you how much my heart is breaking for your family, but all I can seem to do is sit here and cry and snot all over myself. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I'll be saying prayers for your family for strength and comfort, and I will make a donation to the March of Dimes in Evelyn and Ainsley's memory.

My heart breaks for you and your family. I have become so attached to your story without even knowing you. Ainsley was and always will be a special little girl. She had such loving parents who would do anything for her. I hope you get some peace soon. God is watching over you all and so is Ainsley and her sister.

I am so sorry for your loss. I worried when you hadn't updated that perhaps something had happened to your sweet little girl. I hope you can find comfort in knowing that your twins have each other in heaven now.

Katie said...

I can't even imagine, and like so many others have said, sorry doesn't seem nearly enough to say. I hope you and your family can find peace during this difficult time. Peace and lots of nutella. Lots and lots of nutella.

Cindy said...

I am so shocked and sorry to hear about your little meatloaf. I am confident she is peaceful and just as happy as always. May you also find peace in this very difficult time.

I'm so sorry for your loss, it just seems so unfair. :-( I know she's an angel now healed and playing with her sister. Prayers to you all. <3

Lindsey said...

I'm so sorry. You are an amazing woman, and Ainsley was so lucky to have you as a mommy, as are your other babies. She was such a beautiful little girl. I'm sorry.

Victoria said...

Words are so inadequate but so absolutely necessary to honor your sweet, smiley little girl, Ainsley who has left this world to be with Evelyn. It's an unimaginable loss and its impossible to know what comforting thing to say. She and you have touched so many and she will live on through you.

She found her way to peace and I hope that brings you some measure of comfort.
