I had to share this. I have been following the story of these conjoined twins from the beginning. I cried the who way through reading it.

May they rest in peace. Words can not even describe how it feels to lose your babies. Cherish every moment with your kids because in a flat second they can be taken from you.

She always called Faith "Sweet Pea" and Hope "Sugar Plum." I know she misses them dearly, and they have truly touched her heart. 

In the morning I heard knocking on my bedroom door. I looked at the clock and it was about 5:45 AM. I thought Petey was at the door, thinking he forgot something, but to my surprise it was Amy, a friend who also has a baby in the NICU. She said Petey called her because the hospital and Petey were unable to reach me, and that the hospital keeps trying to call the both of you.
