Dear Ann & Chad...It's been a while since I posted...but I want you to know I've been thinking about you and praying for you all the time! Eli's stone is completely amazing! There aren't words to describe it - at all! I believe it's EXACTLY what you were hoping for! Ann - you will never be the same and neither will Chad. You're different people now that you're trying to make sense of all of this...and TRYING to live without Eli. We're thrilled that our children are safe in the arms of Jesus, but heartbroken that we're left behind without them...UGH! It's a long, long, difficult road to travel...we continue to walk with you...just a few years ahead of you....walk with God. He will guide you.

WOW! I'm speechless.... It is so perfect for Eli. What a beautiful resting place you have created for him. Thank you for sharing the picture. I love the beauty of the stone & think it represents your Eli well but hate that you ever needed to purchase it. It's certainly not fair and I will never understand the reasons for the early death of these precious children. Please know that I am very proud of you and I know Eli is too. I think of Eli often and know that he is at peace, in Heaven, with our Father.

Too beautiful for words....Eli truly was a wonderful and amazing child. I think of you often! My daughter, Emma is an "on-going" patient at Denver Children's Hospital. I found your site through Lily's site, and I have followed your journey for a long long time. My best friend lost her son to a Mitochondrial Disorder right before Eli passed away. I'm not sure if I have ever posted, but I pray for your family so often. Today I had to post to tell you that I think that is the perfect stone for Eli. I'm so sorry for your loss. May God continue to hold you and guide you through this most difficult journey! Please visit my Emma's site

Ann and Chad, just wanted to let you know that we also miss Eli. Kayla and I were talking about Eli the other day and how she got to go with you and your mom last year to the Halloween thing at the school. He looked so cute! I think that in the everyday world it is hard to teach children tolerance and compassion. We are very lucky to have had Eli in our lives. I am grateful for the gifts that he gave to us, and the gifts that he continues to give. I know that everyone says that time will heal your pain. Maybe? Maybe not. Thank you both for all you do for us and for making me appreciate the gifts I have. Tell Chad to Bring it on!

You are such an amazing person and a very proud mommy. Eli is the sweetest angel I know and I am so very honored that you let me be apart of your lives. I think about all three of you everyday and we talk to Eli every night. I only wish that I lived closer. I hope that you have a wonderful week. May the sunshine come to visit. I know that Precious Eli will be sending you his love and smiles.

I just want to let you know that I am thinking about you today as I do everyday. For some reason you are on my mind more and more lately. I was going back through a folder of photos I made on my computer, full of the beautiful pics of Eli. I had a smile and some tears. He is so precious. I love his costume from last Halloween. Such a joy..I am going to send some fun balloons to "our" sweet angel. I thought he would like to have something fun to play with and share. Please know how much I love and miss your Sweet Bear.
Sending you both some extra love, hugs and many prayers...

I am praying for you.
I look forward to following the posts and hearing how God is using you...I just wish we could grow without all of the pain that accompanies. I can't wait to see where you are in the years to come. I admire your strength, and courage, and I admire you on your weak days, and days you want to give up and sleep all day.
God knew you were special, that's why he gave you your bear.
p.s. I have a bear too...we call her Katie Bear--we joke that it is because she has the disposition of a grizzly.

My Mom is a Survivor
My Mom is a survivor, or so I've heard it said. But I hear her crying at night when all others are in bed. I watch her lay awake at night and go to hold her hand. She doesn't know I'm with her to help her understand. But like the sands on the beach that never wash away...
I watch over my surviving mom, who thinks of me each day. She wears a smile for others...a smile of disguise. But through Heaven's door I see tears flowing from her eyes. My mom tries to cope with death to keep my memory alive.
But anyone who knows her knows it is her way to survive. As I watch over my surviving mom...through Heaven's open door. I try to tell her that angels will protect me forever more. But I know that doesn't help her or ease the burden she bears. So if you get a chance, go visit her...
And show her that you care. For no matter what she says...no matter what she feels. My surviving mom has a broken heart that time won't ever heal~!
My Dad is a Survivor
My dad is a survivor too...
which is no surprise to me.
He's always been like a lighthouse
that helps you cross a stormy sea.
But, I walk with my dad each day
to lift him when he's down.
I wipe the tears he hides from others.
He cries when no one's around.
I watch him sit up late at night,
with my picture in his hand.
He cries as he tries to grieve alone,
and wishes he could understand.
My dad is like a tower of strength.
He's the greatest of them all~!
But there's times when he needs to cry...
Please be there when he falls.
Hold his hand or pat his shoulder...
and tell him it's okay.
Be his strength when he's sad,
help him mourn in his own way.
Now, as I watch over my precious dad
from the Heaven's up above...
I'm so proud that he's a survivor...
And, I can still feel his love~!

If you become weary of life
If you become weary of life
Your burdens you don't understand
Just lean on God in humble prayer
He holds you in His powerful hands.
Burdens and trials are only a test
So keep faith strong and trust in God
He will never leave nor forsake you
Keep on walking and onward trod.
Life is brief for every one
The weariness of life comes to all
Don't ever give up ~ God is with you
At anytime, on Him ~ you may call.
Our dear Savior was burdened too
Yet, He never gave up to defeat
All you're going through...He knows
Lay your burdens at His nail-pierced feet.
Joy will return to you, dear friend
Just hold to God's Almighty hand
Even when weary...God is with you
It's all known to Him in His Plan.
Life's troubles and trials are a test
Stay in God's will for every day
There is a brighter day ahead for you
Follow Jesus where He leads the way.

Okay, here's a poop story of my own. It was about 2 a.m. and Jeff wakes me up and tells me he thinks Patrick pooped, because it sounded squirty. My question is "Why did he wake me up to tell me that instead of just changing him?" We both fell back to sleep, and it believe it or not it didn't stink enough to wake us, which is not like Patrick at all. Needless to say, I had quite the mess this morning. Okay, I know it's not as exciting as yours, because it wasn't going down my shirt or anything, but it's all I have for now. Have a good day! Bonnie

Soory for the long absence. I have been so busy at home and work, I haven't had a real chance to get online. I have visited regularly though. i can imagine how empty you feel and understand that CB just isn't the same since Eli became an angel. I too miss hearing all the wonderful "poop" stories. Good or bad...I think about your sweet little boy every minute and send him hugs and kisses every night. His legacy willlive on through you and Chad and no one will ever forget the Kurtz family. At work I have a photo of Eli on my desk and talk to him every day.
Sending you some much needed love, hugs and prayers....

We're thinking of you often! Thanks for the awesome book for Patrick. Everytime we get a package from Eli's Angels, I think of Eli, so his legacy lives on. It seems that Caringbridge just hasn't been the same since he's gone. I really miss your great stories about Eli's poop. Talk to you soon! Bonnie

Ann - I am just a stranger stopping by and I read Eli's story. I am so sorry for you loss. I can only pray that our Lord in Heaven (that is taking GREAT care of your angel) will help to get you through this horrific time. He says that He will not put on you more than you can bare but I think sometimes He test to see if we lean on Him when we think it's just to much. Continue to be strong and always lean on Jesus!
I know I'm just a stranger but if you ever need to write someone that will just listen, please feel free to write.
With prayers and God's Love,

MEMORIES OF MY SON
Pictures of yesterday, happened upon.
Sweet, precious pictures of you, my son.
They're from a time that can't be erased.
And my heart fairly breaks as I gaze on your face.
Stirrings arouse in me...words can't explain.
I want to go back, but I can never again.
Such a sweet pleasant child, how I wish you were here.
To reassure me with hugs and your own special cheer.
To see your beautiful smile just one more time.
And hear that you love me, would make everything fine.
Though I yearn for all this. I know it can't be.
Oh God, why on earth did this happen to me?
The pain of losing you is so hard to bear,
I hurt so badly, does anyone care?
This is not what was supposed to be,
I want and need my son; can't you see?
I want to love him and care for him and have lots of fun.
And I'm sad, because those days will never come.
Instead, a precious life was cut chort,
Two years of memories are my moral support.
I'm trying to live--day by day.
How can I do this? I wish it weren't this way.
This love for you is mine to keep;
Pain is the price for the love so deep.
You're with me every day, you live in my heart
And none of this will ever depart.
I'll look at your pictures, and remember with love,
Because you're at peace now...with God above.
~Unknown
Just thought that this says alot of how you must be feeling.
Thinking about you everyday.
Love, hugs and prayers

Did I ever send this to you?
RESOLUTIONS FOR BEREAVED PARENTS
I Resolve:
That I will grieve as much and for as long as I feel like grieving, and that I will not let others put a timetable on my grief.
That I will grieve in whatever way I feel like grieving, and I will ignore those who try to tell me what I should or should not be feeling and how I should or should not be behaving.
That I will cry whenever and wherever I feel like crying, and that I will not hold back my tears just because someone else feels I should be "brave" or "getting better" or "healing by now".
That I will talk about my child as often as I want to, and that I will not let others turn me off just because they can't deal with their own feelings.
That I will not expect family and friends to know how I feel, understanding that one who has not lost a child cannot possibly know how I feel.
That I will not blame myself for my child's death, and I will constantly remind myself that I did the best job of parenting I could possibly have done. But when feelings of guilt are overwhelming, I will remind myself that this is normal part of the grief process and it will pass.
That I will not be afraid or ashamed to seek professional help if I feel it is necessary.
That I will commune with my child at least once a day in whatever way feels comfortable and natural to me, and that I won't feel compelled to explain this communion to others or to justify or even discuss it with them.
That I will try to eat, sleep, and exercise every day in order to give my body strength it will need to help me cope with my grief.
To know that I am not losing my mind and I will remind myself that loss of memory, feelings of disorientation, lack of energy, and a sense of vulnerability are all normal parts of the grief process.
To know that I will heal, even though it will take a long time.
To let myself heal and not feel guilty about feeling better.
To remind myself that the grief process is circuitous–that is, I will not make steady upward progress. And when I find myself slipping back into the old moods of despair and depression, I will tell myself that "slipping backward" is also a normal part of the grief process and these moods, too, will pass.
To try to be happy about something for some part of every day, knowing that at first, I may have to force myself to think cheerful thoughts so eventually they can become a habit.
That I will reach out at times and try to help someone else, knowing that helping others will help me to get over my depression.
That even though my child is dead, I will opt for life, knowing that is what my child would want me to do.

I am praying that all is going well at home. I love coming here to visit. My little one was not feeling well the other day and had an "oops", all I could think about was the Eli poop stories. The thought made me smile through the mess.

I love the video with members in their Eli's Angels shirts. I have been meaning to get one of Alec and send it to you, but somehow, everytime he wears the shirt he poops on it! Maybe he is just trying to keep the Eli poop stories alive because every time he does poop in it I can't help by think of Eli!

Hi Ann and Chad - Sorry, it has been a while since I have signed in. I just wanted to remind you that you two are in our prayers each and every day. I love the pictures of Eli's garden. And I love your stories, Ann. They aren't about "nothing important" - they are about life - your life. And I love the simple beauty (and humor!) in each of them. Hope you both are doing well. Glad to hear the computer problems are ironed out - I have heard SOOOO many people say they would never buy another Dell. I tried to tell my sister that, but she just bought one. I guess we will see how that works out.
Much love to you both - Thanks for updating and all you do.
The Cochrans
www.caringbridge.org/ga/brettcochran
ps- I forgot to say thank you for Brett's gift this month. How appropriate it was. He got the book, "The Kissing Hand" which I had never read before. I read it to him for the first time yesterday - and he goes back to school tomorrow. Mommy is not ready for summer (and my time at home with Brett) to be over, so it was very appropriate. If you haven't read it either, it is a story about a little racoon that doesn't want to go to school because he doesn't want to leave his Mommy. She gives him a kiss to keep in his hand while he is gone to remind him of her. It is VERY sweet and so fitting for the two of us. You gave us both a gift this month - thank you so much!!

Eli's garden is absolutely breathtaking. The flowers are so beautiful. I know that Eli has been helping you out gardening them. I can smell the sweet fregrance here in La Crosse. I hope that your mower survives a little longer. Ours died a while ago. It was really old though. Time for a new one...
I hope the second half of your week is a little better. I am so excited about the fundraiser. I wish I coule be there to experience it first hand. Do you need anything other than fleece for Eli's Angels. Just let me know. I would love to send you a "care package". I come here everyday more than once to see you, Chad and of course Sweet Eli's baby blues. You and Chad are such wonderful compassionate people. We are all so very fortunate to know you.

But for me I guess what's still important is that ppl know that I'm still battling this beast myself. Ug the angry part of grief that's where I sit right now but as my Dad says this too shall pass. Sooner rather then later I hope. thanks for all the good work you continue to do with Eli's Angels. You truly are an angel on earth yourself. God Bless Tamm and Angel Skye

Hi Ann and thank you for signing our guestbook. I'm glad things are going well and I hope the weather hasn't been too unbearable for you or Chad. Hopefully Heidi's stay at Spaulding will be a short one. She is very determined to get home soon. Take care and God bless.

Hi there - It is so good to hear from you with an update. I know how frustrating computer problems can be - isn't it funny that just a few years ago, very few of us even had computers at home!!?? Okay, so I'm dating myself, but isn't technology a wonderful thing? - when it works, anyway!!! I'm sorry to hear about the problems with the interview. I know that you are anxious to get started with that. But, I guess all in good time. God knows what is best for you right now - even if it seems a little confusing to you - He will take care of you. Hang in there and know that we all love you both and continue to pray for you each day!!

Ann i can completly understand. I once locked my self out of the car when i was pregnant with my first child and left it running at a gas station. The worst part is that i was already running late for work b/c i had to get gas in the first place! I was REALLY late at the point the road side service got out there after my car had ran for over an hour! LOL!!! We all have silly things that happen to us. At least yous was not self induced like mine( i was to lazy ) . LOL! it was a great memory though one i still laugh about! I am glad to see an update i am so sorry it has been so long since i have signed the guest book but, know that i think of you and Chad and pray for you always.

Just stopping in to say hi. Sounds like you are keeping yourself busy this summer. Good luck with the job hunt when it is meant to be it will happen, don't just settle on any old job. Hope things are going ok otherwise. I looked for some fleece fabric the other day and didn't find any sales yet (shoot who would have thought 100 degrees outside and you can't find fleece fabric on sale CRAZY). I will keep looking for good deals and hopefully get some out to you by the end of the summer.

Thank you Eli's Angels and Casting Crowns for the wonderful CD. What a delight when I opened the package. I had to come up with an excuse to drive into Sioux Falls just so I could listen to it!
Many thanks for the prayers and all of your help while we were in Colorado. I only wish that we would have been able to spend more time together. I do believe that Debbie (Taryn's Mom) is right in the sense that we should have an "Eli's Angels" Conference. That would be great fun. Hope that your email/internet issues are getting resolved.

I'm sorry I don't stop by very often. The folder containing the links for those who've lost loved ones is growing way too big, way too fast. It gets harder and harder to go to each site. But I have to let you know that your family is still in my thoughts and prayers so very much!
I've been sharing several verses of Psalm 23 on other CB sites today, but think I'll share the whole thing with you. I pray that it will bring you comfort as you read the well known words:
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Hi guys - I feel like it has been so long since I signed in - I've been fairly out of touch with all my website friends for the last couple of weeks. Just wanted to let you know that I was thinking of you and continue to pray for you both each and every day. I also wanted to thank you for asking for prayers for our sweet boy during his surgery and hospital stay. It means so much to us to have so many lifting Brett up to our Lord - especially in a time like that. I know that so many continue to follow your website and rely on you to keep up with all the Eli's Angels kids. Thanks for taking special care of all of us in this circle. We appreciate all that you both do.

I thought of you when I read this. Happy 4th!
It's getting late...
And dusk is settling in...
The 4th of July fireworks...
Are about to begin.
I wonder how far is Heaven...
As I look up into the night sky...
And wonder if my child is watching...
Just from the other side??
The fireworks have begun...
As they fly up into the sky...
Just like my child, my angel...
Who is forever soaring high.
The colorful bursts explode...
Into a spectacular show of lights...
And fill the Heavens above...
It's so beautiful and bright.
And as the fireworks fall...
From the Heavens way up high...
They burn out, and it's dark again...
And the croud lets out a sigh.
But then another is lit, sparkling brilliantly
As the light trails through the nite sky...
I think I am begining to understand..
For it's the same when our loved ones die.
For a life that has burned brightly...
Can never fade away...
For it's rekindled thru our memories...
Each and every day.
So even though my child has gone...
To the Heaven's above...
His light will always remain...
And shine down on me with Love.
And our Grand Finale will come...
When we are reunited in Heaven again..
But his light will always remain lit
Until then.
Jill

If you become weary of life
Your burdens you don't understand
Just lean on God in humble prayer
He holds you in His powerful hands.
Burdens and trials are only a test
So keep faith strong and trust in God
He will never leave nor forsake you
Keep on walking and onward trod.
Life is brief for every one
The weariness of life comes to all
Don't ever give up ~ God is with you
At anytime, on Him ~ you may call.
Our dear Saviour was burdened too
Yet, He never gave up to defeat
All you're going through...He knows
Lay your burdens at His nail-pierced feet.
Joy will return to you, dear friend
Just hold to God's Almighty hand
Even when weary...God is with you
It's all known to Him in His Plan.
Life's troubles and trials are a test
Stay in God's will for every day
There is a brighter day ahead for you
Follow Jesus where He leads the way.

THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL USE OF THE ALPHABET
Although things are not perfect;
Because of trials or pain;
Continue in thanksgiving;
Do not begin to blame;
Even when the times are hard;
Fierce winds are bound to blow;
God is forever able;
Hold on to what you know;
Imagine life without His love;
Joy would cease to be;
Keep thanking Him for all the things;
Love imparts to thee;
Move out of "Camp Complaining";
No weapon that is known;
On earth can yield the power;
Praise can do alone;
Quit looking at the future;
Redeem the time at hand;
Start every day with worship;
To "thank" is a command;
Until we see Him coming;
Victorious in the sky;
We'll run the race with gratitude;
Xalting God most high;
Yes, there'll be good times & yes some will be bad, but... Zion waits in glory...where no one is ever sad!
"I AM Too blessed to be stressed!" The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is the distance between your knees and the floor. The one who kneels to the Lord can stand up to anything. God's Love and peace be with you forever
You never know who's heart you will touch,
when you share a piece of your own
God bless you

Please know that to Eli you are the best daddy in the whole wide world. He is waiting for you to be with him again and hold him in your lonely arms. I know that God is taking very good care of him until the day is yours. I know that everyday Eli is smiling down on his loving mommy and daddy. Sweet Elijah will be with you forever.

OK - now I'm bawling! :) Chad - you have an amazing way with words! (I'm sure Ann would agree!) :) It's touching to see how a father grieves as moms do. We cry and let it out while many men hold it in...it's that man/woman thing. We don't understand how you don't cry and you don't understand why we don't stop!

Chad, as I read your note to dear Elijah, my tears mingled with yours. As you so aptly expressed the gift of a son is a parent’s delight. I recall with great fondness the dates you referred to and Elijah’s inner joy, and, in his own unique way, burst forth at the sound of his daddy’s voice. How eager he was to be wrapped in your strong arms. I recall Ann saying “he has put up with mommy all day now he wants his dad.” I hardly think Elijah “put up” with Ann; he absolutely loved his mommy and her silly talk. I have often though of his love like butter spread on warm toast, it melted in and saturated the object of his affection. Who could resist the warmth of his beautiful blue eyes – eyes that drew the object of his gaze into his web of love? Oh how we have been blessed to be a part of his life and memory.
The short, very short 33 months and 10 days he was with us were packed with meaningful moments that will live with us for a lifetime. You said “all I ever wanted for you was everything. All I could give you was my unconditional love.” There is no greater gift a dad could give his son, yours was an endowment extending into eternity. Love is patient, love is kind, and Love never fails. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres.
Son, you gave Elijah “everything”!
I am overwhelmed with gratitude to call you son, and Elijah grandson.
Love,
Mom

Thinking of you both today, especially. Just wanted to wish Chad a Happy Father's Day. I know this one is so very different for you, but remember, you will always be your Little Bear's Daddy! And he loves you so very much, as does our sweet Lord! Praying for peace for you both, always.
God bless you richly -

Just wanted you to know that I'm still here and still praying so for your family and your broken hearts.
As for the insurance problem, that happened to us, too and basically the other insurance company HAS to pay for it! It's tough they can't find their client but that's not YOUR problem it's THEIR problem. You tell them they pay or you'll contact the Insurance Regulatory Board or whatever it's called.

A Note to My Elijah on Our Special Day – Father’s Day
On this, a father's very special day,
I feel sadness as you are away.
I lose track of the tears that stain my face,
I struggle, but know you are in such a better place.
You are with The Father - for my son there cannot be a better place, but I still miss you dearly, ‘Lijahberry.
I think of our late night 'talks' as we snuggled in bed.
"It's okay to go Bear, Daddy knows you are tired and in pain." "You needn't stay just for Mommy & Me; Jesus is anxiously waiting for thee."
"You will have so much fun in Heaven my 'Lijahs, do not worry about me. You deserve so much more, that only The Father can restore to thee." "I tried my hardest to be a good Daddy, I hope you remember the times we played, the brief moments when a smile would cross your face and a giggle would erupt. I remember the morning of August 7th, 2003. Grandmom had stayed with you at the hospital that night, but when I walked into the room and longingly reached for your embrace, a smile appeared on your weary face. What a beautiful gift for a Daddy, from his son in so much pain. You always gave more than I could possibly return. I wanted to make it all better but it was not to be. November 19th, 2005 as you lay on the floor with Grandmom you reached for my voice as I walked by. Your vision gone and hearing in decline, you still knew your Daddy and you were mine. How was I to know that in a few short days you would no longer be with us? The pain is still real and the cut still stings. My love for you however remains unchanged.
Last year on this day you helped me put my Father's Day present in my garden. Today, I will place a Bear next to the Gnome to remind me of you Eli. I put up a heart and flowers on your gravesite today and read you two books, 'Daddy Kisses', and, 'You Are My I Love You'.
I will put up a train in your garden tonight.
My son, Elijah, all I ever wanted for you was everything. All I could give you was my unconditional love. Despite my shortcomings I tried to be the best Daddy I could be. Thank You, Thank You, Elijah for allowing such a feeble and tired man to be your father. Ahhh, what a privilege to be blessed by your perfect soul. I ache and ache to hold you again. In Heaven my son, we will be back to together again. We will lie in fields of daisies and stare at the clouds laughing about the shapes we see. I'll help you catch your first fish. I'll take my first steps with you. I will hold you close dear son - and Praise Our Heavenly Father for allowing us to be together for eternity. Until then, I will do my best to endure the pain. I will try to remember the good times and the life lessons you taught me. I will dream of your bluest of eyes and your think wavy hair. I will sometimes feel fleeting grasps of your hand. Your perfect fingers wrapped around mine. I know if you could, you would shout from the Heaven's "Happy Father's Day Daddy, I Love You!!"
I miss you dearly Elijah-berry.... my heart is broken.
I love you to the moon and back, and to infinity and beyond!!!!
Thank you for allowing me to be your Daddy.
Your tired,loving,
Daddy.
Chad Kurtz - Honored to have been Elijah's Father on Earth for 2yrs. 9mths 10days. The most difficult and rewarding time of my life. Nothing will ever equal the breadth and depth of my love for my son.
Brighton, CO USA - Sunday, June 18, 2006 6:06 PM CDT
ChadThere is no way I could ever imagine how difficult this day must be for you, hon. For the short time *Eli* spent on this Earth, he wao SO incredibly lucky to have you as his Dad -- and you will forever be known as *Eli's* Dad. I hope this day goes well for you. And I'd love to hear of a sign being sent your way from that sweet little boy of yours.
Sending lots and lots of BIG hugs and MUCH love your way!!!

Ann and Chad,
I haven't signed your page in a while, but still check daily. I just wanted to tell you Chad that you will be in my prayers this weekend. Eli will be looking over you from heaven and I pray that he will send you a special sign that you will be able to feel. You will always be a father and my heart breaks for you that you will never again get that human touch from Eli on Father's Day. So, my thoughts and prayers will be with you.

God bless you, Ann!! You may feel that your life doesn't have much meaning now with the awesome hole that was left when sweet Eli went to heaven. I can only begin to imagine my days without Brett, and I know I would be so very lost. But, please know that you have such meaning to so many of us and brighten lives each and every day. I trust that you will find the path that God has planned to fulfill you completely in your "new life". Just continue to look to Him for the answers. In the meantime, you add so much to our lives and we are so thankful to Him for you!!!
Praying for you always -

Sorry about the truck, word of advice, ALWAYS get a police report even if it is minor because with a report she can't deny it especially if they state it is her fault.

If only there were ways to ease your feelings. Though, they are the makeup of life and time will heal them. I love you so much, as does miss Lily! We enjoy your company, your attitude, your light, and your friendship.
Hope to see you soon and give you at least one great summer day!

Hi Ann,
Just a quick note to say hi & let you know I was thinking about you. Seeing as I am Queen of Time MISmanagement (as you already know! LOL!), I'll leave any advice on motivation, etc. to others. Just know that so many lift you up in prayer each day. Perhaps the motivation will come when you are ready to take hold of it. God has an awesome plan, & when the time comes, you will feel it, and be ready for a job or whatever else He has in store. Emma sends lots of 'ugs' & we all send prayers your way. Take care. (((HUGS)))

Ann-
Sorry to hear that summer sucks for you, I can only image the loneliness you are feeling without Eli to share these hot summer days. I am sure you are right that God has a plan for you and you just can't see it right now. Praying for you that the plan becomes more clear to you in the coming days! You still have every right to hit a wall regardless what you are doing for the day so by no means feel bad about that. Sounds like you are staying busy with all the Eli's Angels stuff and that is great. Well just wanted you to know you Chad and angel Eli are still never far from my thoughts. Praying that you find your way but if it makes you feel any better sometimes I wonder if I have found my way.

I hope you are doing alright, I hear about Elisangels everywhere I turn nowadays! Make sure to let me know if you ever expand into Canada, I would love to help out if I can!

I wanted to thank you for Carsen's wonderful birthday gifts! He was SO happy! One of Carsen's favorite and most calming times - is in the bath. Again, thank you. It means a lot. Tomorrow, Carsen has sugery. (a laproscopically placed G tube) He will come out with the Mickey button right away. It's a little more complicated but they feel it's the best option for him. I am so sick and nervous about it. Please remember him tomorrow morning (6AM) in prayer.

Just checking in to wish you and Chad a great week. Hopefully it will start out better that last week. You are a wonderful woman. I have some fleece that will be on the way soon. What a great idea for the children. They will love these. I am just waiting for my butterfly bush to grow. I can't wait. Then Eli will be able to visit. He has come to see us in a couple of dreams. What a sweet angel he is. He loves you so very much.
I will be checking in on you later. Hope all is well and your weekend was pleasant.

Can I see another's woe,
And not be ill sorrow too?
Can I see another's grief,
And not seek for kind relief?
Can I see a falling tear,
And not feel my sorrow's share?
Can a father see his child
Weep, nor be with sorrow filled?
Can a mother sit and hear
An infant groan, an infant fear?
No, no; never can it be!
Never, never can it be!
And can he, who smiles on all,
Hear the wren, with sorrows small—
Hear the small bird's grief and care,
Hear the woes that infants bear,
And not sit beside the nest,
Pouring pity in its breast?
And not sit the cradle near,
Weeping tear on infant's tear?
And not sit both night and day
Wiping all our tears away?
Oh, no! never can it be!
Never, never can it be!
He doth give his joy to all;
He becomes an infant small;
He becomes a man of woe;
He doth feel the sorrow too.
Think not thou canst sigh a sigh,
And thy Maker is not by;
Think not thou canst weep a tear,
And thy Maker is not near.
Oh! he gives to us his joy,
That our grief he may destroy:
Till our grief is fled and gone,
He doth sit by us and moan.
On Another’s Sorrow
—William Blake (1757-1828), in "Songs of Innocence", 1789.

I just read about your accident. I'm glad you weren't hurt! I'm thinking orange paint might not be a bad idea!
Sarah is still carrying the bag around that you gave her and is on day three of wearing her Eli's Angels T-shirt. She wants to wear it to school on Monday but I told her we may have to wash it first. So guess what I'm doing right now? Thanks for your thoughtfulness!

Oh what luck you do have. Lucky you or anyone else was not hurt. Unfortunately I can barely even sew a button on so I would not be much help in that area but I will definately keep my eyes open for a good deal on fleece fabric. Hope everything else is good with you and Chad. Work is still EXTREMELY busy and challenging, at times that is good at other times it stinks! Oh well gotta go Joe turns 40 today so we are having a little get together with family to help him celebrate this HUGE milestone.

Ann,
Glad you weren't hurt in your last run-in. I continue to think of you and just yesterday Rli's photo caught my eye on the fridge. It was his dolphin photocard you sent us.
How much fleece fabric do you need? Any particular size?
Just let me know. And I gave a few sewing gals ready to join in..me, my mom and a couple of friends and quite possibly my mom in law.
Delighted in anticipation-we can't wait to help.
Have a good weekend.

Hi there - Just stopping by to check in as I do most every day, but wanted to take a minute to tell you that I am thinking of you both. It is so funny to me that we are so far apart in this big world, but sometimes I feel so close to you because we share so much in our hearts. These precious children really do change our lives in so many wonderful ways!! Not a day goes by that I don't see Eli's sweet smile in my mind. And it always brings a smile to my face - what a beautiful angel. Praying for you always. Hoping that the days ahead bring with them peace and comfort for you both.
Much love - The Cochrans

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name. Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit. The LORD sustains the humble
