* 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....

“They should leave him there...”
We don’t want him! Well, maybe as mosquito bait.
Mine too. Bet its a virus.
A masterstroke of historic proportions if true. She is a bona fide genius of asymmetrical political warfare.
A local rumor should be started that the news creeps in Juneau, were seen shooting ravens for sport.
The Raven moiety of the fierce Tlingit (Indian) society has ways of dealing with such, and it would not be a pretty thing to behold.
If her email letter included being sent to some members of her staff, (inter governmental) it automatically becomes public record.
I vote for her I be in my late 60s LOL!
WOW! If that reading does not touch your heart, tear your eyes, you are a dead soul. How moving, how spot on! These are words of person well aware of the challenges ahead, but also the blessings. I can imagine her talks with the other four kids, preparing them for Trig's arrival, cautioning them, that he will be special. Simply awesome.
Each of us send this to everyone we know.
The state of Alaska released the emails, not Sara.
Bump
She tricked them into doing it on her timetable.
She's a genius.
The entire letter is at post #10. As Marlowe says, it’s among the most touching expressions of faith in God’s providence that I’ve ever read.
We have never seen the heart of a leader revealed in this way. Such faith as this should be honored by true Christians everywhere.
I’ll be 80.
Pray for his redemption.
ahem...something in my eye.
God Bless her.
Beautiful! Thank you for those!
Must admit. That letter really made me tear up. How could anyone think she’s not genuine? What you see is what you get and I like what I see and hear from her.
Very touching. Sarah Palin is a real lady with true faith in God.
Thank you both for the post and ping.
She didn’t “play God,” she refused to play God, and allowed his chosen course for her life to proceed.
