Sarah Palin's Letter From God

Perhaps the most revealing insight into the mind of Sarah Palin is an email that, like all the rest was never meant for publication. It was a very personal note to her family about the upcoming birth of her son Trig. It was written from the heart. It was written to family. It was not meant to be shared with strangers. Sarah writes to her family from God's point of view.

To the Sisters, Brother, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and Friends of
Trig Paxson Van Palin (or whatever you end up naming him!):

I amblessing you with this surprise baby because I only want the best for you. I'veheard your prayers that this baby will be happy and healthy, and I've answered
them because Ionly want the best for you!

I heard your heart when you
hinted that another boy would fit best in 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 because I only want the best for you!

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". You also have a Bristol Bay relative with
that name, so I knew it would be best for you!

Then, I let Trig's mom
have an exceptionally comfortable pregnancy so she could enjoy every minute of
it, and I even seemed to rush it along so she could wait until near the end to
surprise you with the news - that way Piper wouldn't have so long to wait and
count down so many days - just like Christmastime when you have to wait,
impatiently, for that special day to finally open your gift? (Or the way the
Palins look forward to birthday celebrations that go on for three, four days...
you all really like cake .) I know you, I knew you'd be better off with just a
short time to wait!

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 lots of time to understand that everything will be OK, in
fact, everything will be great, because I only want the best for you!

I've given Trig's mom and dad peace and joy as they wait to meet their
new son. I gave them a happy anticipation because they asked me for that. I'll
give all of you the same happy anticipation and strength to deal with Trig's
challenges, but I won't impose on you...

I just need to know you want to
receive my offer to be with all of you and help you everyday to make Trig's life
a great one.


This new person in your life can help everyone put
things in perspective and bind us 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 tells you is "normal" or "perfect". You will grow and be blessed with
greater understanding that will be born along with Trig.


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
his mom's heart just like Track, Bristol, Willow and Piper did. And Trig will be
the cuddly, innocent, mischievous, 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 one extra chromosome. Doctors call
it "Down's Syndrome", and Downs kids have challenges, but can bring you much
delight and more love than you can ever imagine! Just wait and see, let me prove
this, because I only want the best for you!

Some of the rest of the
world may not want him, but take comfort in that because the world will not
compete for him. Take care of him and he will always be yours!


Trig's mom and dad don't want people to focus on the baby's extra
chromosome. They're human, so they haven't known how to explain this to people
who are so caring and are interested in this new little Alaskan. Sarah and Todd
want people to share in the joy of this gift I'm giving to the Palin family, and
the greater Alaska family. Many people won't understand... and I understand
that. 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. (But tell me, what do
you earthlings consider "perfect" or even "normal" anyway? Have you peeked down
any grocery store isle, or school hallway, or into your office lunchroom lately?
Or considered the odd celebrities you celebrate as "perfect" on t.v.? Have you
noticed I make `em all shapes and sizes? Believe me ,, there is no "perfect"!)

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 the heavens are higher than
the 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!

Please look to me as this new challenge and
chapter of life unfolds in front of you. I promise to equip you. I won't give
you anything you can't handle. I am answering your prayers. Trig can't wait to
meet you. I'm giving you ONLY THE BEST!

Love,

Trig's Creator
, Your Heavenly Father
