Kat, we love you. I can't imagine your pain.
I just know there are millions of us who love you, know you're incredibly strong and know your dad is so proud of you while watching from Heaven.
Your mom and dad are up there holding hands and laughing with each other and bragging about what wonderful daughters they raised.
My prayers for your family.
