Headline from the WP, NY Times, LA Times etc - “Palin imagines herself to be God!”
Full text of email -
To the Sisters, Brother, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and Friends of Trig Paxson Van Palin (or whatever you end up naming him!):
I am blessing you with this surprise baby because I only want the best for you. I’ve heard your prayers that this baby will be the happy and healthy, and I’ve answered them because I only want the best for you!
I heard your heart when you hinted that another boy would fit best into the Palin family, to round it out and complete that starting five line-up. Though another girl would be so nice, you didn’t think you could ask for what you really wanted, but I knew so I gave you a boy.
Then, I put the idea in your hearts that his name should be “Trig,” because it’s so fitting, with two Norse meanings: “True and “Brave Victory” ...
Then, finally, I let Trig’s mom and dad find out before he was born that this little boy will truly be a GIFT. They were told in early tests that Trig may provide more challenges, and more joy, than what they ever may have imagined or ever asked for. At first the news seemed unreal and sad and confusing. But I gave Trig’s mom and dad lots of time to think about it because they needed to understand that everything will be OK. ...
This new person in your life can help everyone put things in perspective and bind {you} together 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. He’ll show you what “true, brave victory” really means as those who love him will think less about self and focus less on what the world telss you is “normal” or “perfect.”...
Trig will be his dad’s little buddy and he’ll wear Carhartts while he learns to tinker in the garage. He’ll love to be read to, he’ll want to play goalie, and he;ll steal mom’s heart just like Track, Bristol, Willow, and Piper did. And Trig will be the cuddly, innocent dependent little brother that his siblings have been waiting for... in fact Trig will - in some diagnostic ways - always be a mischievous, dependent little brother, because I created him a bit different than a lot of babies born into this world today.
Every child is created special, with awesome purpose and amazing potential. Children are the most precious and promising ingredient in this mixed-up world you live in down there on earth. Trig is no different, except he has an extra chromosome. Doctors call it “Down syndrome,” and Downs kids have challenges, but can bring you much delight and more love than you can ever imagine! ...
Trig’s mom and dad don’t want people to focus on the baby’s extra chomosome. They’re human, so they haven’t known how to explain this to people who are caring and are interested in this new little Alaskan. ... Some will think Trig should not be allowed to be born because they fear a Downs child won’t be considered “perfect” in your world. ...
Many people will express sympathy, but you don’t want or need that, because Trig will be a joy. You will have to trust me on this.
I know it will take time to grasp this and come to accept that I only want the best for you, and I only give my best. Remember though: “my ways are not your ways, my thoughts are not your thoughts... for as heavens are higher than earth, my ways are higher than yours!”
I wrote that all down for you in the Good Book! Look it up! You claim that you believe me - now it’s time to live out that belief!
Trig can’t wait to meet you. I’m giving you ONLY THE BEST!
Love, Trig’s Creator, Your Heavenly Father
Monitor got all blurry...
The entire letter was written in her first book. The story is wrong It was made public when Going rogue was released......The MSM can’t even get their basic facts correct. And they wonder why we have no respect for them....
That is one of the most profound and touching letters I have ever read. Truly although the words were Sarah’s the sentiment shows a profound understanding of the mind and will of God in our lives.
The media will probably try to use this epistle as a means to show that Palin is a religious fanatic, but if they do, then this too will blow up in their face.
For all you Netfilx subscribers, Media Malpactice, is available on demand. It is a must see. Tell all your friends and family to check it out.
How anyone can imagine that Trig isn’t her own, after reading this letter, is just beyond sense and reason. What she says here isn’t just a prayer, it’s acceptance of God’s Will, and St. John’s definition of obedience. In a nutshell, it’s why she’s despised. God protect her.
I would rather meet Trig any day than meet woodenheaded moonbat lunatic Gore
Wow, I have to say, that is amazing writing.
I’ve always liked Palin, but I am really impressed by this. It literally brought a tear to my eye.
Very good, Sarah. God bless you.
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.
ahem...something in my eye.
God Bless her.
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!
