'Trig will be a joy': Sarah Palin plays God in touching email about her unborn son's Down's Syndrome
The London Daily Mail ^ | June 12, 2011 | Brian Clark Howard

* She addresses 'unreal, sad and confusing' news of son's Down's Syndrome
* Writes Trig 'may provide more challenges and more joy' than imagined
* Writes that others would have wanted to abort, or send sympathy
* Shows thoughtful, human side of controversial politician

Sarah_Palin 'played God' in a deeply touching email she wrote two weeks before her fifth child, Trig, was born with Down's Syndrome, it was revealed today.

The poignant message to family_and_friends, included in 25,000 pages of her private emails made public on Friday, may alter the way the former Governor of Alaska is viewed by the American public.

In April 2008, two weeks before Trig was born with Down's Syndrome, Mrs Palin sent the email to her friends and family from her official government account.

In the touching message, Mrs Palin writes from the voice of God, as 'Trig's creator, your heavenly father'. She addresses the 'unreal, sad and confusing' news that her soon-to-be born child will have Down's Syndrome. The letter's existence had previously known, but only very brief excerpts had been made public.

Writing as God, Mrs Palin wrote, 'I let Trig's mom have an exceptionally comfortable pregnancy so she could enjoy every minute of it...'

She wrote, 'Trig's mom and dad' were told early by doctors that the child 'may provide more challenges and more joy than what they ever may have imagined or ever asked for.

'This new person in your life can help everyone put things in perspective... and get everyone focused on what really matters. The baby will expand your world and let you see and feel things you haven't experienced yet'. The letter also makes unlikely conspiracy theories that have long been circulating on blogs that Trig was actually born to Mrs Palin's unwed daughter Bristol....

Great picture, thanks for posting it.

Here is a small photo essay that shows what Sarah and Todd Palin do when no one is looking.

When we were hauling her and her team from Searchlight to Las Vegas so they could rest up a little before flying back to Alaska, she asked us to stop so she could get a soda.

We pulled into a 7-11 type store and of these are the candid pictures that I took with my phone:

This is the first time I have posted them anywhere.

It's amazing how just stopping for a coke break gives Governor Palin an opportunity to show her concern and love for others.

It may be noticed that Palin's people were snapping stills and also videoing this chance encounter.

I have not seem any mention of this on the www anywhere, but maybe this encounter will be in the movie coming out soon.

Thanks so much for those pics.

Sarah Palin isn't in for the notoriety. She is a mother first, a patriot second, and a friend to those who care to share our lives. I do not know her, but these are the things I have surmised from watching from afar.

She is the "real deal", and her efforts have been to change lives for others, as much as for her own family. That is why she will be the greatest President we could have.

I am an old fashioned chauvinist, and would never PREVIOUSLY have given the time of day to a woman candidate. In this case, I am an active proponent and participant in the effort to get her elected.

IMHO, she will serve with humility and honor. How many presidents after George Washington fit that bill???

Sarah Palin isn't in for the notoriety.

Among other things, that was the point I was making.

Did I do that poor a job of getting it across?

Oh, and from my observations, your surmising is right on.

this “email”was in Gov Palin’s first book. The fact that the MSM thinks it is news means they never read her book

Michele Bachmann WAS coming on strong. Then she hired Ed Rollins.

When I first read this is Going Rogue, I about cried. She is one INCREDIBLE Christian woman. We’ve got Carter 44 now; Palin 45 next!

“Sarah_Palin ‘played God’ in a deeply touching email”

I seriously doubt she was “playing God.”
