My sweet Paige...

Came downstairs tonight after she was supposed to be in bed. She was in tears and very upset. Normally I would have raised my voice because its past bedtime and my mom duties take a break when kids go to bed but when I saw her I was calm. She approached me and was crying so hard she couldn't udder a single word out. Her head buried in her hands. Finally she managed to get this out.

" mom everytime I try to go to sleep all I keep thinking about is you dying"
My heart just sank down to my feet. I couldn't help but think about what if she knows something I don't? What if Heavenly Father is preparing her for something to come that I am not aware of yet? All I did was hold her. She cried and cried. Then she said...
"What will I do without you?"
Tears streamed down my face. Again.... I was speechless! I was wondering the same thing? I have such a HUGE fear of leaving this life too early while my children are to young. It's a nightmare for me. So I continued to hold her. I called Terry in and he then told her that she doesn't need to worry about this. He told her we'll be here for a very long time. I needed to hear that too. I then felt confidant enough to tell her that I'm here and I'll be here for a long time.
She then went upstairs back to bed. 
I love her. And I love her more for even being concerned about this. She completely understands where we all go. She KNOWS that. She believes in Heaven. I witnessed tonight her getting older. Her realizing that there's more to just going to the other side....... Heartache comes with that too. 
 And with that...... I am so grateful I knelt across the alter with Terry. I said "Yes" and he did too. We were sealed together FOREVER. Paige, Ty and Stockton are mine forever. I am so blessed and so grateful for that. xoxoxoxo

Oh this has me bawling!!! I think I relate to you so much b/c we have this tender heart about motherhood. It just feels like it is all waaaaay too good to last, right? Like something just has to come along and rip this out from under neath us, because WHO gets to have such a sweet life? Thats how I feel.
We are planning our first trip EVER together, after 10 years of having kids, we have never left them (at the same time) and I rolled out of bed and begged God to not let something terrible happen.
I think it is just part of the mother heart. We can't fathom being without our loves, our miracles,out greatest blessings. Even with al our faith and knowledge, it is still heart wrenching. Poor little Paige. I think she must have the same tender heart as you. You will be here a long time to help her and show her the way.
I love you Tiffany!!!
