This says things so perfectly... My baby was born still September 1, 2011... His name is Cameron and I miss him so much... and hurting so much. Thank you for this.
"They say that time in heaven is compared to 'the blink of an eye' for us on this earth. Sometimes it helps me to think of my child running ahead of me through a beautiful field of wildflowers and butterflies; so happy and completely caught up in what she is doing that when she looks behind her, I'll already be there."
how sad you had to lose a child but so great you had such joy and strength in God to trust he would help you through it so many people would have aborted their child yet you did not i thank you for making your story public may the act you two choose influence someone else.
What a powerful and loving story. I have a deep respect for how you guided your children through that. Heartbreakingly beautiful and glorious ... all at the same time. The words to the song will resonate your story with me for a long time to come. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us and for choosing Life! God Bless you and your family!
i have read your book a I was extremly touched by the way you coped with the loss of your child i can not go without one day thinking of your family and the strength it would take to live a day without your audrey. I hope someday i will meet you face to face in heaven. Thanks for making my day!!!
wow!! what a well thought out tribute to your baby girl so moving im crying yet i am happy you have your other 3 girls to help you through the tough times may she rest easy among the angels and one day be reunited with her mummy and daddy xxx
No sobbing, no tears, just radiant joy. I sobbed through all the CrossPoint Church interviews. I have loved Selah for your music and felt my heart lifted up in praise. Hearing about Audrey lifts my heart in praise for the gifts that He gave you in her short life . Your faith and willingness to be open about all the emotions you went through when you learned her condition humbles me. Thank you for sharing your story and Audrey. And who knows how this will impact your daughters as mommies someday?
As sad as this is... Audrey was incredibly blessed. Only hours on this earth... But all she knew before she went to be with her Heavenly father.. was that she was LOVED,,, God gave her the best parents..
What amazing, beautiful pictures. My first son died at 12 hours old and it took me many years to have the same positive attitude you and your family have. I admire your strength and faith. I look back now, 13 years later and can finally find the answers to all the times i cried "why me?". He's my angel and he gave me great gifts, and looking back today i wouldn't change a thing. Thank u for sharing your story.
Under His wings, what a refuge in sorrow! How the heart yearningly turns to His rest! Often when earth has no balm for my healing, there I find comfort and there I am blest. Under His wings, O what precious enjoyment! There will I hide 'til life's trials are o'er! Sheltered, protected, no evil can harm me, Resting in Jesus I'm safe evermore. Under His wings, Under His wings, Who from His love can sever? Under His wings my soul shall abide, Safely abide forever. You are an imspiration to so many.
I got halfway through your book last night. It is such a beautiful expression of faith, love, motherhood, and family. I lost my daughter Evelyn Marie on 10.29.10. She was stillborn due to a cord accident at almost 40 weeks. I have created a memorial site for her at babyevie.com. We are in the same club that we never wanted to be apart of. These babies are such a blessing, as they teach us to seek that which is unseen. Thank you for your story. Bless you!
I am so sad for your loss and so happy for the blessings that Audrey brought to your family. Your courage in sharing your story is amazing! You will help so many through your beautiful song and the videos you have done. I too know the pain of the loss of a baby and how important it is to teach & touch others. With this awareness they can then befriend others during their time of need. Thank you for sharing your faith and love. Blessings, Sherokee Ilse, author of Empty Arms
Angie i've heard so much about Little Audrey i came across this video after hearing about Little Audrey . such an emtional time i know my best freind has had a misscarriage so i assure you i don't know how you would of felt two years ageo. she looks like an Angel . Shes now in gods hands and watching over you and Your beautiful Famliy .
Jaylee.
By the way your story is just so inspering to hear over and over im going to try and get my hands on your book.
very touching...so sweet....i worked in a Newborn Level 2 nursery for 10 yrs......you are inspiring and a great example of a greater Hope......one day.....we will see them again...hold them again.
My sister had a son that passed away at 5 months old. I have written a testimony about him and what the Lord has done. The day he died, just a few hours before he died I had prayed for a broken heart. The Lord heard and answered that prayer. My sister wrote a song and it is on youtube. It is called Hug Him Once For Me. As much pain as these deaths have caused, God is still good and still has a plan. May God bless you for sharing this even through the pain and hurt.
Friend recently gave me book "I Will Carry You" saying "the book is like hearing you tell your story." Five years ago, we were pregnant w/baby 3. 18 weeks later, told she would die at birth. We choose to allow God to take her in His time. 4 months later on 9/11/06, we spent 2 hours w/baby Katie Josephine who was expected to live only minutes. Many have thought I was nuts for saying there was such joy in the pain, but you helped to show that side of grief to others. Thank you.
I am not a religious person, but I was so moved by your tribute. Your daughter was beautiful. I hope that you and your family have found peace and happiness.
We lost a 5 1/2 month old baby boy two years ago. I wrote a song as well. It's called Hug Him Once For Me. I praise the Lord and rejoice with you that our children are in Heaven today and we have the hope of seeing them again! Praise the Lord for this song that though heart wrenching, is a song of hope!!!!!!!!
What a testimony of God's perfect love. This child will Never have to face this fallen world and all it's ugly stuff. She is in the Loving arms of Jesus Christ, Amen.
such a beautiful family. ur baby was such a beautiful blessing. she will be greatly missed but remembered by many. my love and prayers go out to u all. thank u for sharing ur story.
God bless you all. I'm reading your book now, & I don't think I've cried so much in my entire life. Such a beautiful story of faith in God. It has made me think alot. I'm so thankful that you found the courage & strength to share your story. Audrey has touched so many people in her short time. Praise God that He is in control always! I admire you both so much.
Love your video. The words to this song are amazing! I lost 2 daughters in 8 months. I stll to this day praise God for their short lives and the lives they continue to touch! God bless you!
What an incredible witness to all the folks this family met and those of us who continue to find their story anew. The way Christians deal with life and death is the most important testimony we will ever have.
I Wil Carry You (Audrey's Song) great love of the parents Angie & Todd Smith (Selah) when the baby being prepared to be born (few hours) and move on to everylasting life with angels.......God Bless his family........
You all are so brave. I have a very close friend who lost her 5 month old baby in a tragic car accident. Three years later we all are still dealing with the pain and loss. This video and this song has blessed my life and I always look to this for inspiration.
Is there a version of this song without the little girl voices at the end of the song? It's so beautiful, but I just can't hear their little voices without my heart breaking.
Such a beautiful song! So sad that they lost their baby girl but happy for some of the time they got to share with her. Cant wait for the day where there will be no more more tears and death.
God bless you and your family. I went to church the other day and they had on a table a little homelife magazine on it. I picked it up and read your story about baby audrey. Knowing all the pain and sadness you had to go through, you still moved on and were happy with the time you got to spend with her before she was carried to the Lord. You are a great example of so much hurt and at the same time soo much courage and strength. God bless you and your beautiful family.
5 babies on earth and 4 in heaven.... Love this made me think alot more loving about my loss instead of upset and angery.. LOVELY lil girl =] All of them in God's hand =]
I first saw this on James Robison. Thank you so very much for sharing Audrey with us. What a precious, beautiful life-as short as it was. What a treasure! She will touch so many lives...and save some too. God bless you and your beautiful family!
Thanking God for Audrey precious life and for you her chosen parents. I know her life was to touch many you could never begin.. she touched my life in the early hour of this morning when I saw you both on Life today.. imagine that.. We serve a mighty God .. who loves us all... Praise you God .. Awesome Creator.. Giver of life ... in the many splendor ways! Paulina Toronto
Congratulations on your new baby girl, Todd and Angie!!! God is so good. And Charlotte has amazing parents with such incredible faith. Thank you for inspiring the rest of us who've lost a child or lost a pregnancy. We can learn from your story and be reminded to keep the faith, always. Let go and let God. I can't wait to go read Angie's book, "I Will Carry You: The Sacred Dance of Grief And Joy." THANK YOU BOTH.

This was posted today in a group I am apart of. I am so touched by this song. I recently found out my daughter has no chance of living once she is born. This song explains it so perfectly, thank you so much.
This song has such power. I cried while I listened and watched. Life is so precious, and too often we don't take the time to appreciate it. I truly believe that your beautiful girl is in heaven with God, and that one day you'll be reunited with her.
My friend's daughter passed away 2 days ago at 2 years of age. Have followed Selah's stories and music for years and when thinking of something to touch her heart and spirit in this time of pain, I instantly thought of you guys, thank you so much for sharing your testimony and strength with all of us so those who do not understand can at least have a witness in the midst of the pain of others.
I am overcome with emotion and have been so upset with my children for not doing homework, telling little fibs, not cleaning up after themselves and I am embarrassed and reminded with your video that I am sooo blessed and with God's help and yours, will try to cherish everyday with them..
I can't help but shed a tear when i hear this song, I have lost a niece 13 yrs ago and will always remember her. She lived for 41 days. She served her purpose on this earth early, Many of us it takes a life time. She is a Angel in heaven looking down upon us always. I am bless to now have a daughter of my own. My sister couldnt have children after. She has Lupus now, and has since the baby. Thats why she couldnt carry the baby to term and she passed away. Her name was Mihmina.
can't wait to tell you how much your song blessed my heart, Audrey. to your mommy: may you carry on with His grace that will guide you through until you see your sweet girl again.
I have followed your story with Audrey since the beginning. I purchased Selah's CD this weekend. I have three angels due to miscarriages. This song really hits home. Audrey is absolutely beautiful. I am happy that you guys were able to have that time with her before she went to be with the Lord.
Thank you for sharing your powerful story! My sister just lost her baby the day before her due date, so this really touches close to home. God bless your family!
You are truly an amazingly strong person. I see only true love for your daughter in this video. I had a still born daughter, Laylah Abigail Kathleen, Dec 27, 2008. Its been the hardest thing I have ever gone through. Seeing your video lifts up my faith, thank you. God bless you, your family, and your beautiful baby girl.
Wow, I just picked up the new Selah CD that was released today and heard this song for the first time. I've created about 100 YouTube videos and I thought I would create one for this song, but then I ran across this video and I figured "why bother". The pictures of Todd and Angie and Audrey are priceless; I can't stop crying.
wow what a powerfull video,you are a stunning family and im sorry you lost a stunning baby girl,i got upset watching this as it was so beautiful from start to finish.xxx
This shows the love the the lord has for us. and your faith in him. your family is strong-willed and is in our prayers. we belive in family's together forever so count your blessings...including audrey caroline. from one mother to another...she is with her father in heaven.
Thank you for sharing your daughter and your story with the world. I happened upon your blog last night, a link from another...and i spend probably an hour reading parts of it...I was very moved by it all. You have a beautiful family:) You were (and still are) on an amazing journey. Will go back and visit your blog often..so I read more about your beautiful family!! May God bless, you Angie!!
Thank you for sharing the journey with your beautiful little girl. I agree with other comments i have read on this video.. I see nothing but love, no sadness... the brief hours you had were precious and now she is held in the palm of His hand! God Bless you and your family!
@momofthreemiracles It's true. I also see only love and cherishing this precious little child. She looks as if God planned her to be the most beautiful little angel.
What a beautiful testimony to the truth that our God has a plan for each life, no matter how short it may be. We are all in His hands! Thank you so much for sharing Audrey's story with us.
I've listened to this song over and over and its amazing... I lost my own child Emily to SIDS on Feb 6, of this years. She was 7wks and 2 days.. Your daughter is beautiful!!
thankyou so much for sharing your beautiful audrey with me and my family.i dont see sadness i see love,which is beautiful.your faith is so strong i wish we had it too.audrey was js your daughter but through your unselfishness she is known allover the world now.i send our love to your family love kirstie dale annie aaron and aneece.from england
thankyou so much for sharing audrey with me.tour strenth is amazing your faith so strong. as a none beliver i find it hard to understand how you deal with things like this.i have to ask the questin WHY but i never get an answer, maybe oneday i will. thankyou once more i will carry you in my thoughts every day love kirstie
Kirstie, the way that Angie deals with things like this (and any other "believer" as well) is by faith, prayer, and God's unending love. He has promised us so many things and He is faithful to those promises. Seek Him in all that you do - He will never leave your side. Have you considered developing a relationship with God?
Wow! I am overcome with emotion. Your photos are gorgeous and show your Faith in a life everlasting . My daughter, Victoria Rose, was still born on 3-21-1995. I was full term and we were totally shocked. Going home with empty arms is unbelievably painful. It still aches when people say, "How many children do you have?" Two with me on earth, one in Heaven. Lord, I Praise you for each one of them!
I am so sorry for your loss Angie! I love reading your blog you are so funny and so strong. I thought in the picture 3:43 that Audrey looks just like Kate!
What an amazing tribute to such a precious baby girl. I've read every single entry, Angie, and continue to do so to this day. The strength and faith of your family amaze me. This video had me in tears (as have many of your blogs about your sweet Audrey), I cannot imagine what you are going through. your family is in my thoughts.
This is an absolutely gorgeous video tribute put together. I cannot even begin to imagine the loss you must be going through. May God bless you and your family through this most difficult time. And I wanted to say that I absolutely adore this song... it's so sweet and so powerful. It skips a bit on the video... is there anyway to get a clearer version?
I bet you miss her so much. "...I will praise the One who's chosen me to carry you...." That's hard sometimes, isn't it? Time to time, as we wipe the tears from our cheeks, we fail to understand. But, if you can grasp and pray past the doubt, Angie, you'll see that while you were carrying Audrey....the Lord was "carrying" you.
And now, while you carry her sweet memory, He STILL is carrying you.
This is such a precious video. That sweet, little, world changing Audrey Caroline.
A STRONG and LOVING family.. a BEAUTIFUL testimony. Thanks for letting us share these beautiful memories with you. Your love and dedication to the Lord is in full evidence here, but also is reflected in your music.. that's why you're NUMBER ONE, to so many people. Thanks for giving us such a personal look into your lives. We love you!
Thank you! Thank you for sharing your story, Thank you for sharing your baby, Thank you! I've heard a couple of songs that touch my heart and kind of describe how I feel, but this one.. well it's perfect. Are you going to try and release it? Please do. It's a song that will touch a lot of families.
Wow thats all I can say. thank you for sharing your baby girl with me. I wish you the best for you and your family. That beautiful baby now has her wings and will be watching you from heaven. She has the best seat in the world. Much love.
Just beautiful. What a blessing God that gave you such a precious little one for such a short time but in that time, Audrey touched the lives of countless people. You have a truly beautiful family and I will keep you in my prayers.
This is the most powerful song I have heard since my child was born into heaven 4-21-08. Sterling Michael Davis 5pd. 5.6 oz. When will this song be on the radio? What an amazing way to help so many families across the world with this beautiful video and song.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family I too lost a baby girl Hannah back in April 2003 My daughter had an enlarged heart just like Audrey I can tell you from my experience that I have grown closer to God although in the beginning of my grief I was angry with Him My husband and I became a part of a great foundation that helps pay funeral costs to those people who lose a baby A lot of greatness came out of Hannahs death but I still miss her everyday
Again...your faith and strength amaze me. I continue to lift you up in prayer to our Heavenly Father. The video is beautiful and just look at how many people have viewed it and been touched by the short life Audrey had. Jesus has already used her life in such a wonderful way. Love you all so much.
And sweet Audrey Blossom...I want to meet you in Heaven right after I meet Jesus Christ.
I've have read every blog posted about dear, sweet Audrey. This video was so powerful, it brought tears to my eyes. I pray for your family all the time and will continue to do so.
I've been reading your blog about your beautiful family. Your letter brought tears to my eyes. You are all so strong. Audrey is so so beautiful. A true angel. Your story touches my heart. I'm sorry this isn't the best written comment but nothing I write seems to convey how amazing I think your whole family is.
What strength you all possess. It can only come from God. He has taken your family and used you as a vessel and a testament in so many ways. I cannot even begin to imagine your hurt, but God is so sovereign.
Audrey is whole, no pain, only life. We here on earth feel the space she left behind. And that hurts. In her short life, as you know, she has become such an important part of God's story.
Dear Angie, Todd, Ellie, Abby, and Kate (Sawyer, too),
Angie, you are an Angel on earth...carrying Audrey Caroline as long as you could, and knowing the risks you all faced. Secretly I wish I had acres and acres of land to plant cherry trees to bloom each year on Audrey's birthday.
Too beautiful for words. Inadequate words will only mar the perfection of what God has done, through your family's faith and trust in Him. I look forward to meeting you *all* in Heaven someday. In Him, are all things made perfect.
Thank you for sharing such beauty with us all. I am truly humbled by your strength, courage, faith, and love. Audrey's story has put me on the path to finding Him again...thank you for that! May God continue to Bless you!
Just beautiful! I know when this song hits the radio airwaves, it will make me cry every time I hear it because I know the story behind the song. Thank you for sharing Audrey Caroline and your faith in the One who carries you.
This says things so perfectly... My baby was born still September 1, 2011... His name is Cameron and I miss him so much... and hurting so much. Thank you for this.

You all are so brave. I have a very close friend who lost her 5 month old baby in a tragic car accident. Three years later we all are still dealing with the pain and loss. This video and this song has blessed my life and I always look to this for inspiration.

Beautiful.
I've learned a lot from your story. Thank you...
Is there a version of this song without the little girl voices at the end of the song? It's so beautiful, but I just can't hear their little voices without my heart breaking.

Such a beautiful song! So sad that they lost their baby girl but happy for some of the time they got to share with her. Cant wait for the day where there will be no more more tears and death.

God bless you and your family. I went to church the other day and they had on a table a little homelife magazine on it. I picked it up and read your story about baby audrey. Knowing all the pain and sadness you had to go through, you still moved on and were happy with the time you got to spend with her before she was carried to the Lord. You are a great example of so much hurt and at the same time soo much courage and strength. God bless you and your beautiful family.

Congratulations on your new baby girl, Todd and Angie!!! God is so good. And Charlotte has amazing parents with such incredible faith. Thank you for inspiring the rest of us who've lost a child or lost a pregnancy. We can learn from your story and be reminded to keep the faith, always. Let go and let God. I can't wait to go read Angie's book, "I Will Carry You: The Sacred Dance of Grief And Joy." THANK YOU BOTH.

Have followed Selah's stories and music for years and when thinking of something to touch her heart and spirit in this time of pain, I instantly thought of you guys, thank you so much for sharing your testimony and strength with all of us so those who do not understand can at least have a witness in the midst of the pain of others.

I can't help but shed a tear when i hear this song, I have lost a niece 13 yrs ago and will always remember her. She lived for 41 days. She served her purpose on this earth early, Many of us it takes a life time. She is a Angel in heaven looking down upon us always. I am bless to now have a daughter of my own. My sister couldnt have children after. She has Lupus now, and has since the baby. Thats why she couldnt carry the baby to term and she passed away. Her name was Mihmina.

I have followed your story with Audrey since the beginning. I purchased Selah's CD this weekend. I have three angels due to miscarriages. This song really hits home. Audrey is absolutely beautiful. I am happy that you guys were able to have that time with her before she went to be with the Lord.

Wow, I just picked up the new Selah CD that was released today and heard this song for the first time. I've created about 100 YouTube videos and I thought I would create one for this song, but then I ran across this video and I figured "why bother". The pictures of Todd and Angie and Audrey are priceless; I can't stop crying.

kirstiedale3 2 years ago
Kirstie, the way that Angie deals with things like this (and any other "believer" as well) is by faith, prayer, and God's unending love. He has promised us so many things and He is faithful to those promises. Seek Him in all that you do - He will never leave your side. Have you considered developing a relationship with God?

Wow! I am overcome with emotion. Your photos are gorgeous and show your Faith in a life everlasting . My daughter, Victoria Rose, was still born on 3-21-1995. I was full term and we were totally shocked. Going home with empty arms is unbelievably painful. It still aches when people say, "How many children do you have?" Two with me on earth, one in Heaven. Lord, I Praise you for each one of them!

rsvpceline 3 years ago 2
I bet you miss her so much. "...I will praise the One who's chosen me to carry you...." That's hard sometimes, isn't it? Time to time, as we wipe the tears from our cheeks, we fail to understand. But, if you can grasp and pray past the doubt, Angie, you'll see that while you were carrying Audrey....the Lord was "carrying" you.
And now, while you carry her sweet memory, He STILL is carrying you.
This is such a precious video. That sweet, little, world changing Audrey Caroline.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family I too lost a baby girl Hannah back in April 2003 My daughter had an enlarged heart just like Audrey I can tell you from my experience that I have grown closer to God although in the beginning of my grief I was angry with Him My husband and I became a part of a great foundation that helps pay funeral costs to those people who lose a baby A lot of greatness came out of Hannahs death but I still miss her everyday

Again...your faith and strength amaze me. I continue to lift you up in prayer to our Heavenly Father. The video is beautiful and just look at how many people have viewed it and been touched by the short life Audrey had. Jesus has already used her life in such a wonderful way. Love you all so much.
And sweet Audrey Blossom...I want to meet you in Heaven right after I meet Jesus Christ.

Angie, Todd, Ellie, Abby, and Kate -
What strength you all possess. It can only come from God. He has taken your family and used you as a vessel and a testament in so many ways. I cannot even begin to imagine your hurt, but God is so sovereign.
Audrey is whole, no pain, only life. We here on earth feel the space she left behind. And that hurts. In her short life, as you know, she has become such an important part of God's story.
Bless you all, you are all in our prayers.
