Guess what! I just found out that I am going to be a Grandmother. Our oldest son and his wife are expecting their first child in November. Ironically, the due date is two days before what would have been mine and Bob's 39 wedding anniversary, so that is bittersweet.

Its been a while since I have checked your page but was thinking of all of you since its December and almost 4 years since your beautiful Hayley made such an impact on the world-even those she never met. It still amazes me that she impacted so many people who fell in love with her. Congratulations on the baby to be! Yeah another little one to love! How exciting to be awaiting the arrival of another blessing! I will be praying for continued health and joy for you and your family as the new year approaches. Enjoy the holidays and please keep us posted. Peace!

NJ - Thursday, December 11, 2008 6:50 PM CST

It's so wonderful to read an update from you and see pictures of your precious little fellow. What wonderful news that your baby is healthy and growing...and that she's a girl. I have a 4-year-old girl and a 20-month-old girl. When my second, Natalie, was born, we bought a special gift from her for our older daughter and gave it to her the day she visited her baby sister in the hospital. We also bought "big sister/little sister" T-shirts. When Samantha came to see us after the birth, I gave the baby to her daddy so Samantha could snuggle with me. We try to have one-on-one time with each girl. Samantha and her daddy still go on "special breakfast" dates from time to time. It's a juggling act, but I imagine if your children are anything like mine, they'll learn to play well together, even though they'll certainly argue! I can sympathize with your sadness over losing your constant one-to-one relationship with Jacob, because I went through that too. But your new addition will become such a natural part of your family. It's such a beautiful thing...the family. And as for Hayley, she is always remembered and honored. I know you keep her close.

Kelley Land <kelley@helwys.com>
Macon, GA - Wednesday, December 10, 2008 9:53 PM CST

Oh, congratulations. I've visited your page since I saw a prayer request for Hayley during her transplant. I've rarely commented though. I'm so happy you'll get to experience all the little girl things again. I have two girls. If we ever have one more I would love to find out what a little boy is like.

I do have a sibling tip as I'm juggling a 26 month old and a 4 month old. So ours are a lot closer in age than yours will be. For us it's been essential to have a gated off area for the baby's bouncy seat and play mat so our older child can't get to her. She's fascinated with the baby and would never leave her alone otherwise. She's not always as gentle as she should be so without the gated area we could never turn our back for a second.

Congratulations again!

I have thought about you a lot this month as you approach the 4-year anniversary of Hayley's death and have anxiously awaited news of your pregnancy. God bless each of you and I can't wait to see your family blog!]

Thank you SO much for such a wonderful update. Please know that we never tire hearing of your lives and all of the exciting things going on. Though we've never personally met, I am so grateful for all that you've shared during this journey. It has completely changed my outlook on life, and for that I am very grateful.

Congratulations on the wonderful news that you are expecting a girl. How fantastic! That Jacob can now be a big brother and a little brother - sandwiched between two sisters - is just incredible.

Please do set up your family blog. I anxiously look forward to your updates and hope that they will continue when Hayley's baby sister arrives.

God bless you all and have a wonderful Christmas. We'll be praying for you on the 19th.

Jacob will be about the same age that my girls were when their younger siblings were born. It's a good age, I'm sure he'll be a great helper. Congrats again!

It is always wonderful to read an update, no matter how few and far between. There's always a place for your family in our hearts and so any updates at any time are always appreciated. Congratulations on your happy news!!!

I had to share with you that Hayley was brought to my mind the other day when my sister shared a story with me about a conversation she had with her 5-year old son. My sister was watching an Oprah episode about a mother who had lost her baby. My sister was of course sad but when my nephew came in the room, she pulled it together. Being the smart kid that he is, he started asking about the story and my sister gave an age-appropriate explanation. He recognized the sadness of the moment and he told her "Don't worry Mommy. She'll see her baby again. Because God sent a rainbow and that's God's promise." Couldn't help but be reminded of Hayley when I heard that. : )

Jacob is growing so big & tall - what a great big brother he'll make to the newest addition. I know that Hayley must be beaming ear to ear to see all that is happening below her heavenly home. You must miss her terribly - but I hope that you feel surrounded by her as I am sure that she's watching over all of you.

I will never forget your daughter, and will always be rooting for your family!

It was great to see you guys last weekend! Jacob is just too cute, Dayna, you look fabulous always and Alan, your smile just lights up any place you're at. I was thinking about Hayley the first day of school, she is in my thoughts so much as she is for so many. I am very excited to meet your new little one, of course we already know how adorable s/he will be. And I just love how inquisitive Jacob is! Love and peace :)

Congratulations on your pregnancy!

It's wonderful that Jacob is very independent...he will actually be a helper to you when the new baby comes. 3 years is such a perfect gap between babies...believe me - I know! :o)

Each time I visit Hayley's page & see Jacob's pics, I think of my friend's son, Paul. He looks so much like Jacob. When we ask him how old he is(2) he puts up 2 fingers & says 500! It is too cute. When he doesn't want to do something he says "no thank you, not today!". Enjoy precious Jacob, as he will grow quickly.

Best wishes.

What exciting news! I always check your site, looking for an update! Hayley was one of the "first babies" I found here on the caringbridge site! I have laughed, cried and celebrated w/your family! I often come to your site to look at pictures of Hayley, It's amazing how these beautiful kids seem almost like "our kids"!

Jacob's 2yr old pics are just adorable, the resemblance between him and Hayley is amazing!!!

Congratulations on the newest little one!!

You are one of the families whose pages I check frequently. I read your entries through most of Hayley's battle, and her zest for life is one of the reasons my husband and I consider childhood cancer research a cause close to our hearts. I have loved the photos and stories about Jacob--the smiles on all your faces as you watch him in the photographs. I am so happy for your news. I don't understand why you've had to endure so much stress and struggle as you've tried to have another baby. But I know, somehow, that God is still God and that he is blessing this little one who grows a bit bigger each day. I eagerly anticipate news about Jacob and now this new baby. Thank you for continuing to share about your life...even to strangers like me.

WOW!!! I am so happy for you I am crying! What a beautiful update! I've been on every night this summer waiting for a post of you expecting again! HOORAY!!!!!! I've been with you for years now, throughout Hayley's short but wonderful life. I found you through Jenny Scott (Allie's mom) and have been a faithful follower since! Allie too would've been in kindergarten this year. My youngest daughter is 3 months younger than Allie so both of your stories went straight to my heart. Your family is to be admired. You've been through so much and yet you still believe in miracles and the best things that life has to offer. Jacob is beautiful. He look so much like Hayley...and if she has a role in picking out her new brother or sister, they'll be just as gorgeous as she is! I check in on you always, and I'm glad you're doing well. On a final note, I always remember the stories of Hayley and her terrorizing your cats and the way she used to say "kirkles" for circles. When my daughter said that the first time, I laughed out loud and then started crying. I told her that there is a beautiful little girl in heaven who says "kirkles" too! I hope your pregnancy is uneventful and you're holding that precious baby in your arms soon!

My Elizabeth Marie and your Hayley Elizabeth are only a few months apart, and I thank God everyday that I 'met' Hayley so I would appreciate those moments where Elizabeth is trying my patience. It would of course make me so much happier if Hayley was with you, physically, but Hayley is a gift and we never take gift's for advantage!

Hi Dayna & Alan,
I just had to share a story with you. I was at my youngest daughter's school yesterday, in a hurry, of course, and out of the corner of my eye I saw a familiar picture. I stopped and walked over to it and smiled. I'm not sure if you remember when I emailed you the picture that I saw of a little girl standing in front of the Virgin Mary statue. From the back, she reminded me of Hayley and made me think that was how Hayley was in Heaven talking to Mary. Well, a couple of years later here is the picture in the lobby of my daugther's, who is Hayley's age, school. I knew in that moment that Hayley was sending me a sign to slow down & enjoy these moments,almost saying, you promised to! I just wanted you to know that Hayley still touches so many lives. Thanks for sharing her.

I was thinking of you today while in church for our Easter service. The preacher was speaking of our hope in the ressurection of Jesus and that it gives us "just a glimpse" of what is to come. I thought of your family and how this day must be even a bigger celebration with your anticipation of being reunited with Hayley one day. Hope you had a fun day of egg hunting and celebrating with Jacob! Enjoy the upcoming days of spring!

Just checking in and loving the pictures of Jacob. Man, he looks so much like Hayley in one of those snow pictures! (The eyes and cheeks look very familiar!)

Heard this song and thought of you both and Hayley.
Held By Natalie Grant

It is a beautiful song.

Two months is too little.
They let him go.
They had no sudden healing.
To think that providence would
Take a child from his mother while she prays
Is appalling.

Who told us we'd be rescued?
What has changed and why should we be saved from nightmares?
We're asking why this happens
To us who have died to live?
It's unfair.

Chorus:
This is what it means to be held.
How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive.
This is what it is to be loved.
And to know that the promise was
When everything fell we'd be held.

This hand is bitterness.
We want to taste it, let the hatred know our sorrow.
The wise hands opens slowly to lilies of the valley and tomorrow.

(Chorus)
This is what it means to be held.
How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive.
This is what it is to be loved.
And to know that the promise was
When everything fell we'd be held.

Bridge:
If hope is born of suffering.
If this is only the beginning.
Can we not wait for one hour watching for our Savior?

(Chorus)
This is what it means to be held.
How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive.

Hey Dayna - It was great to see you too! I was planning to come leave you a message, but you beat me to it. ';) I love the photos of your Jacob. He is such a cutie! And that Santa one will be so treasured when he is grown; I love the photos of how things really happened. Unfortunately, I don't have a photo of the blackened squirrel perched on Elise's head. hahahaha I'm glad you too got a good laugh out of the story!!
Hugs and Blessings,

Hi guys!

Love the pics of Jacob, he is so cute and yes, growing sooo fast! I'm so sorry about the pregnancies, I will add it to my prayer list. I'm sure Hayley is working hard to pick the very best little sister or brother and child for your family. Love to you all!

I'm sorry for the struggles you've had to get pregnant. I know you have so much love to give as mom, dad, and big brother and will pray for your peace and endurance as you try for another precious little one.

Happy birthday to Hayley, who is always remembered and honored in many ways. She is one of the reasons my husband and I support childhood cancer research and ministries every chance we get.

Hi guys!

Thanks for the card, what a gorgeous family! I have been thinking of you a lot these past few weeks and especially today. Words can't express how much Hayley is missed, I see her in the sunshine, rainbows and flowers and so many places. My friend Angie's son, Dutch, was diagnosed last week with leukemia, he is 17. His first chemo treatment was Monday. His diagnosis has made me think of Hayley a lot.

I wish you a blessed holiday and wonderful New Year. If you ever need anything, just ask!

I just read that last guestbook entry, and thought - no way! It can't have been 3 years - I actually went back to the home page to check. Hayley was my first cancer kid that I checked on that didn't make it, unfortunately, she hasn't been my last. I just remember how devastated I was that God didn't jump in there and do a miracle, and it seems like it was only last year, at the most! But how glad I am that you have a miracle in your life once again, because they all are miracles! Aren't little boys fun? I just love all the pictures and stories and picturing him just running into the ocean just makes me smile, and he is an adorable Captain Jack! Thanks for the updates - I'm so glad to see both of you so happy and filled with the joy of being parents once again!

Beautiful photos from what was obviously a very special trip. Jacob is such a handsome little boy, and I can tell how much he loves life. That's the beauty of little children--how everything they see is such an exciting new discovery. Thanks for sharing your experience in pictures.

I want you to know that I still think of Hayley and check your page every few weeks. Supporting families experiencing childhood cancer and encouraging research has become a passionate cause for me and my family. We don't have the means to give a significant amount, but what we do give is always in honor and memory of children like your daughter. We will never forget how hard she fought, and we pray that no child's fight is in vain; that what they taught doctors will help eliminate this threat one day.

Love the photos! It looks like you had a great time! Its hard to believe Jacob is so big already. Its so wonderful to see the 3 of you laughing and smiling. Then again- I have felt the contact with your family (even though we have never actually met) has always been a blessing. Once again, thanks for sharing and I pray that God continues to watch over all of you.

Calling 911 is too funny - it is too bad you didn't think to snap that picture, but I don't know if there is a "first run-in with police" section in most baby books anyway! Thanks for the update!

Hi guys....

Just thinking about Hayley this early morning...I see Hayley in Jacob. I'm so glad things are well. Everything is fine around here...if you need a babysitter...you can always count on Merrill. She just loves the kids.

Our kindest regards.

I was just thinking of you guys tonight....and wanted to wish you a wonderful Easter day tomorrow. I know the days don't get easier, but I pray that tomorrow is a "sweet" day. I am reminded that it is an incredible celebration and even more so knowing that Christ's sacrifice will allow you to be reunited with Hayley one day.....oh, what a sweet day (and I will personally run to her and introduce myself and say a BIG thank you!) Have a wonderful day celebrating with Jacob (in your arms) and Hayley (in Jesus' arms). Blessings to you always...

Thanks for the update! Sounds like Jacob is "on the go"! He is growing up so quickly! It is wonderful to hear the news of "health" and know that you appreciate it more than anyone. You are never far from my prayers and Hayley continues to "pop" in my head. I'm still amazed at how such a LITTLE one made such a BIG impact. Thanks for sharing your news!

Wow, little Jacob! I do wish I could visit with you in person and just wrap my arms around you and squeeze you tight! Your big sister, Hayley, continues to be a part of my heart. Just this past weekend, I saw another double rainbow and I said an extra prayer for your mommy and daddy. I am so thankful to hear about you growing and bringing joy to your mommy and daddy(and I am sure anyone else that gets to see you). You are truly a beam of sunshine!

i have been coming back to hayleys webpage SO much over the last 2 months..moreso than usual, i should say...i "know' another little girl, 2 yrs old who is about to earn her wings..anytime now. In a way it is "comforting" to read thru some of the past journal entries..knowing and being assured that she will be in a better place. It amazes me how much someone, whom you've never met before..has such a tremendous impact on your life...I do hope you all know how many lives your Hayley has touched..and no one will EVER forget her or your family...no matter how much times goes by...

Funny Dayna, I haven't been online in a long time because I was very busy planning my youngest daugther's Bat Mitzvah, and I wasn't able to focus on anything other than that for a while. Today is the first day in a couple of months that I have been able to really catch up on things, and so I was so pleased to see an update from you! Jacob is such a little sparkle! When I saw the pic of him with the big stuffed dog, I had a flashback of Miss Hayley with that same dog! I wasn't sure if I was imagining it, or if you had posted a picture of her with the same doggy, and so I checked the photos of Hayley. There she was with that same puppy and that adorable gleam in her eyes! Yes, you are right when you say that Jacob resembles his sissy and his daddy, but from the pictures I have seen of you, I can definitely see his mommy, too! What a beautiful little boy! His hair is growing in so much! Is it a bit lighter than Hayley's was? I thought of Hayley recently, when I had the pleasure of viewing a rare CA rainbow. Two beautiful blessings in one special moment.

Thank you for sharing your family. I know that it isn't always easy, but I am grateful to know that you and Alan are doing well, and finding happiness once again,in Jacob.

Love,

Dayna and Alan,
Just stopping in to check on your sweet family. I am glad to hear that things are going so well. I thought you might enjoy hearing how Hayley's legacy continues. My husband and I surprised each other with tickets to see Josh Groban in concert. Yep, we ended up with 4 tickets, and of course, we only needed two. Today we called the social worker at our local Children's Hospital and told her we wanted to donate them. Right now, she is consulting with other social workers and the child life specialist, to see which patients have been there the longest and whose parents could use a fun night out. This idea would have never occured to us had we not followed sweet Hayley's story. I know it can't come close to removing the fear and pain that these parents are experiencing, but I hope they are able to enjoy one fun, "normal" night out. I know we feel so happy to be able to do it! I hope things continue to go well for you and your family.

I feel bad that I haven't been by your page in awhile.Lots going on here.But that does not mean that I don't think of you for I always do.I do stop by your page to see and read the updates just haven't had time to sign your guestbook.

Valentines...... To Heaven

This Valentine is not of the ordinary kind,
Its still filled with love...and blessings inside;
But mine has to be sent on the wings of love...
You see its destination is the Heavens above.

Its not being sent to my parents so dear,
For they are still with me each day of the year;
Its being sent to my child...who left earth so soon,
Who's now in the Heavens with the stars and the moon.

The message is the same as your valentine,
"I love you...my sweet precious child of mine;
My love is still deeper than the ocean is blue,
And its sent with hugs and kisses...from me to you."

"I know you are with me each and every day,
You listen as I talk to you...and hear what I say;
For that is one thing that disease cannot do...
...you'll always be apart of me...and me a part of you."

"I know God did not give you the awful disease,
Thank Him for His comfort He gives me...would you please?
I dont know what I would do without His undying love...
Sent to bereaved parents from the Heavens above."

"I know you are in the best of care,
But it's so hard for us left on earth to bear;
Could you put in a request from us left behind...
For God to send the knowledge..so a cure we can find."

"So that no other family has to go through this pain,
Our lives without you will never be the same;
When I get lonely I will look to the sky at night...
And see you shining down your big bright light."

You are never very far from my mind and although I never had the privilege to meet Hayley, I followed her journey and grew to love her and your family in a way that only God allows. I am often reminded of her precious life and incredible impact on mine. I just wanted to remind you, again, that her life and legacy lives on through so many of us and those lessons that she taught me personally, will be carried on through my life and the lives of my children. It truly is amazing that in her short life she was able to accomplish so much....a reminder of Christ's words to come "as a child". Oh, how I pray that I can leave this world making half the impact that one precious little girl made on me. I pray for you three many times each week and know that God's richest blessings will continue to be evident in your lives. Hang in during the tough days and bask in the warmth of the good days. Thank you for continuing to share.....Jacob is incredibly cute! How do you guys do it?!

Happy belated birthday, sweet angel Hayley! I thought of you and your mommy and daddy on Saturday. And again this morning. It was the most amazing thing! I was on my way to work. It was terrible outside. Gray, lots of snow and absolutely freezing. -4 degrees without the windchill.
I was able to see a hazy sun trying to find it's way out from behind the clouds. On either side of the sun were two curved rainbows. They looked like arms wrapped around the sun. I instantly thought of you, little rainbow painter!
We'll always remember you and we'll always keep your mommy, daddy and Jacob in our prayers.

that her journey was not in vain. Her life
touched so many in the 22 months she was here. My life
will never be the same because of her...and I thank God for that.

Dear Dayna and Alan,
I usually stop by every couple of weeks to check in on your wonderful little family. I wanted to make sure I stopped by this week to let you know I am thinking of you as Hayley's birthday approaches. You are always in my prayers for all you have lost and all you have been blessed with.

That Jacob is a cutie! If you recall, I knit him a little hat when he was born...I am sure that is way too small now :( They grow so fast, don't they? What a precious little gift you have.
Thinking warm thoughts of you and Hayley this weekend.

Hey, guys! I just wanted you to know that Hayley has been very much on my mind and in my heart. I was thinking today about all the photo albums/scrap books you put together, Dayna, and how much I'd really like to sit and go through those one day. Maybe you will share those memories of your little girl with me one day...how I would love that.
Looking forward to spending some time with y'all on the 10th!
Love,

Valdosta, GA USA - Friday, January 26, 2007 8:16 PM CST

As I sat in Catie's service yesterday, I thought about you and Alan and sweet Hayley. I want to think that Hayley met Catie at the gates and told Hayley all about her precious baby brother, Jacob. It is impossible for me to understand the depths of your pain but oh how I pray for you to always feel God's arms of love and grace. Today has been extra sad as I see everyone back into daily routines and we just go on with everyday things and I imagine that for you mommies of angels is a daily struggle just to put one foot in front of the other. I truly pray that ya'lls support system stays the course. Just like I really, really believed that Hayley was going to be healed on earth, I believed that for Catie. They, like you fought so hard to have this result. I am sad for you parents, as I know the little girls are made perfect and whole and their time apart will just seem like a second.

As I have grieved for Catie and with Tre and Jenny, I couldn't help but think of you; knowing how well you know the hurt that no other could possibly fathom. I'll bet Hayley and Catie are playing together in Heaven; chasing kitties and playing with puppies.

Saskatoon, Sk Canada - Saturday, January 20, 2007 4:29 PM CST

I have been praying for Catie for months. I can only imagine the difficult days for her parents and the birth of a new baby in just a matter of days. I know they will get through this all because of people like you and Alan who really understand and know what to do for them. The ONLY good thing that comes from grief is the personal connection to others who walk in those same shoes. You cannot put a price tag on knowing that people care about you and will hold you up when your legs feel like jelly and your heart is ready to explode.

Dayna and Alan-
That was the most incredible picture slide show I've seen. I know the pictures are priceless to you. I'm not sure why, but I watched them with tears in my eyes.....maybe because of the way it captured your sweet Jacob, or the smiles on your faces, or maybe the miracle of God's gift of our children, or maybe just missing your sweet Hayley's smile. Who knows....but know that I have prayed for you continually and will always remember your journey. The words from a song often comes to mind....."when you can't trace His hand, trust His heart". I am trusting God to stand close to you each day and show you amazing peace and love in this new year. Happy New Year...

Dear Dayna, Alan and Jacob,

I have been thinking about you, and then realized that this past week was the second anniversary of sweet Hayley's passing. I can't imagine how much you must miss your precious daughter, but I am glad to know that you are able to seek some solace in remembering her.

Although I never had the honor of meeting Hayley, I will always remember her and the gift that she was to her family, friends, and friends who never even met her!

With love,

Wondering how and why once again. We will always have a special bond with your family.

We are happy for His glory in your life, while at the same time still missing that sweet little girl of yours. We remember her vibrance and her smile so well all those days and nights on 3N. I'm not sure I can brave going back there, your courage is inspiring.

Plano, TX - Wednesday, December 20, 2006 0:24 AM CST

I went back and read the December 19th post of 2004 and again cried remembering the pain we all felt that evening. Two years seems like such a long time and yet reading that entry - it seems like yesterday. I can't even begin to imagine the smile she has had on her face every day since she went to be with Jesus...what a blessing her little life has been to me. I'm so thankful for the 22 months she was alive - although I was never able to meet her - she touched my heart and continues to do so on a daily basis.
I hope you found some peace in your memories today - and that Jacob being a part of your traditions gave you more smiles than tears.
May God be with your entire family this holiday season and may Jacob be a reminder to you that One joy DOES scatter a thousand griefs!

The doctors have no explanation for his comeback. All I can think is that Hayley sent us a miracle today. Forever grateful for your angel.

I read today's guestbook entries as I have done nearly each day since Dayna and Alan began this Caringbridge site for Hayley, and I found a smile upon my lips even though the tears were gently rolling down my cheeks. You see, I was not sure what one could say on a day where there really are no "words." As I read each entry, though, I found that you all did, once again, find the "right" words. And, yet again, I found solice, comfort, wisdom and compassion from our many friends who continue to come here to this site. So, on this second anniversary of my first Granddaughter's flight into heaven, I wish to make a "first" entry and tell each and every one of you who have visited and written in Hayley's Guestbook just how very much you and your families are thought of and cared about by me and our family.

What beautiful words of love for a father and daughter! Your little guy is beautiful and we couldn't be happier for the three of you. Have a wonderful Christmas. I'm sure Hayley and her grandfather will have an amazing Christmas together in Heaven. What more amazing place to spend Jesus' birthday than in His presence.

You have been on my mind a lot lately. I know this is a very hard month for you coming up. My thoughts and prayers are with you, as always. I was wearing my Hayley Thomson Golf Tournament shirt yesterday as I gave blood at Ben Smith's blood drive. Belinda and I were taking about Hayley and agreeing that there could not be a more adorable angel.

The pictures are AWESOME! What a cutie... and Jacob too! :) Just kidding. You guys look great and I am so happy you will celebrate Christmas this year with your family.

All my best,

Dayna and Alan, this morning as I was driving down the road, Come To Jesus by Chris Ryce, came on the radio and immediately I started crying tears for you as I remember that song being played so regularly doing Hayley's last days. It doesn't come on much anymore. Once again, your little princess came to mind as I thought of how great it will be when He comes back and takes us all to that glorious place of total peace and security. I don't know why I wanted to share that with you other than I want you to know that you are prayed for daily by me. So many things remind me of sweet Hayley, rainbows, UPS deliveries, pink skies, angels and many other things. What a mighty warrior she was!! Love to you and little Jacob.

Hello to you ALL!

Thinking of you and missing you I read Hayley's site today! Her 'snootzy' face is on my counter too! She is missed - it was so nice to see Jacob's pictures! He is SO big and I look forward to the day I meet him.

Alan - what you wrote to your Dad was beautiful. I'm crying. I know you make your dad proud. Everyday you came to the hospital fighting for Hayley you had a smile on your face asking about the other children - even when Hayley was the sickest! We all noticed how amazing you and Dayna's strengh was! Your smile is only half as warm as your heart and that would make any father proud EVERYDAY! I'm sorry he and Hayley left this world so early.

I do hope to see you all soon! Still in NC. Thinking of grad school at UNC.... we'll see!! I do miss home!

Love, Anne

i check here often and always think of Hayley and that gorgeous smile of her's,reading Alan's tribute to his Dad is comforting because it's obvious from that how well taken care of Hayley is now,what a blessing to know she's in such safe arms.
Dayna you look fabulous and wow Jacob is just gorgeous,i can't believe he's almost 6 months already.I'm so glad you're looking forward to your holiday time with him this year as i know this is a very difficult time of year as well.
May Hayley's presence continue to comfort all of you and the knowledge that she is still so very loved and deeply missed by so many of us bring you some strength.
With love and prayer,

My heart has been heavy knowing the holidays are here and what you went through two years ago. But I know Jacob is bringing a smile to you this season at the same time. Have a great Thanksgiving, I will call you soon for a visit. Alan, I am so sorry for the loss you endured with your father, as well. What an eloquent sentiment you wrote to him. I know he is up there with Hayley right now playing with all the animals!

Thinking of your family, and wanted to share this poem with your family as you remember ^Hayley^ this Thanksgiving Holiday~

A Thanksgiving Poem

Dear Father who art in Heaven...
Please join our family on this Thanksgiving day
And bless each one as we sit down to pray
As we remember those who have joined You above
So dearly missed and deeply loved.

Please provide us strength on this Thanksgiving day
Bless us with memories of those faraway...
Please grant patience to family and friends as we grieve
And help us reach out to others who are bereaved.

We give thanks to You on this Thanksgiving day....
For Your presence in our lives each and everyday.
For Your comfort, guidance, and never ending love...
And for taking care of our loved ones...in Heaven above.

As we light this candle on this Thanksgiving day...
And it glows in memory of those in Heaven today....
May their lights always shine down on us and give us light...
And may we feel their presence along with Yours tonight.

May the peace and tranquility of this Thanksgiving day
Be an everlasting light within each of us along the way...
Lets bow our heads and give our Thanks to God above..
For our blessings, whether on earth or in Heaven above...
Amen

Happy Thanksgiving, Alan, Dayna, & Jacob (and Angel Hayley). It warms my heart to read your journal and to hear how happy your little man is making you both. I think it's so incredibly precious how he lights up at the sight of his big sister - that is so wonderful!

As always, you both are a pillar of strength - how you endure these tragedies in your lives and move on with such dignity and hope for the future is truly inspiring.

You're all in my prayers! God Bless!

Happy Happy Thanksgiving, Jacob is just so beautiful, Alan wrote a beautiful Memorium about his Dad, he's right about about one thing, the more times that passes, the more you miss having your loved ones, it doesn't hurt as bad, it's just bittersweet. You know what your missing and you can't ever replace your parents, my Dad has been gone for 26 years and he loved Christmas so much, I'm always sad at the holidays, he was like a big kid, he got more excited than we did. He loved kids so much and he only got to see two of his grandkids, I've wished so many times that he could see my kids and grandkids, I hope he can and that he is watching over us. This is so long I know, thinking of Hayley and your sweet family always, I think one of my blessings is all the caringbridge family's I have met, I feel Blessed just because I know so many family's that have so much faith, love, and compassion for others even through their own grief.

Hi there!

I was just thinking about you guys and thought I would stop by. I *love* the pictures. He is just the cutest baby and always looks so sweet. I'll bet he is a cuddler, too. I will say that there is something about him that reminds me of my little one, Will. He's cute and cuddly too, but once he was mobile, well lets just say he is very busy ;)

God Bless you!

Oh my! What a blessing it was to open up Hayley's page and see the most precious little sheriff ever! Wow! Thank you so much for sharing your little bundle of joy. Just last night, we were outside and I called Kilby's attn. to the beautiful sky and told her that everytime I see a sky so pretty and pink, that I think of Hayley in Heaven. She started yelling, "Hey Hayley in Heaven, Hey Hayley, can you see me?" My prayers remain faithful for you all.

Today is ALL SAINTS day. It is a day where we (Catholics) recognize the saints in heaven and think about how we on earth can learn from their holy lives. There are many known saints, but there a billions of unknown saints. Your Hayley is certainly known to many of us as we have followed along on this site. She did live a most holy life and we have undoubtedly learned so much from her. I can't wait to someday meet "Saint Hayley Thompson of Cumming Georgia".

We do mourn with you and will always remember Hayley and the impact she continues to have on so many lives. I hope that knowing we are out here does bring some small comfort to your hearts.

When I look at the picture of Jacob's profile, I really see Hayley! How special that is!

I saw the show when the Edwards were on, I remember them talking about Wade during their campaign quite a bit. I remember tears when their daughter said she slept in their room for two years after he died. It was heartwrenching. I think of Hayley so often when I see the kids at the park area of our neighborhood or sometimes when I see the school bus. We see quite a few rainbows over your house and it is somehow comforting. I love the pictures of Jacob, he is truly amazing.

Thanks for the update! Your little guy is just adorable!!

I think of Hayley so very often! She will NEVER be forgotten! I still always smile at the picture on her home page....just looking as cute as can be! Every single time I walk into Gymboree I think about Hayley! :) There couldn't ever be a cuter model for that store! Also, a rainbow will never be "just a rainbow" anymore! It is Hayley reminding me to slow down, look around, and appreciate the things and people around me. ("Thanks Hayley!" I always say to myself!)

I just wanted you to know there are many, many prayers being said often for your family! :)

Hi guys!
Jacob is so absolutely and completely adorable!! What a doll!

I missed the Oprah show, but read a selection of Edwards' book. I haven't bought it yet, but have decided I will the next time I make it to a bookstore.

We continue to think of you guys often. If your ears were burning yesterday afternoon, it's b/c I was chatting w/ Holly and Mandy from 3rd floor, and Mandy was filling me in on seeing you last week.

Thanks for your prayers for Catie and for spreading the word to other folks. We really do appreciate it.

Take care of yourselves!!

Hi Dayna,

What a special milestone you celebrated in baby Jacob's life! Although it was probably a bit of a shock to see those big sisters there, on a day when Hayley should have been there, too, I am glad that you were able to remind yourself that Jacob's big sister was there, too, smiling, watching and loving her family with so much pride.

Congratulations on Jacob's baptism...May there be so many more happy moments in his life(and yours), that you could never possibly count them all! May he continue to flourish and grow into the beautiful little individual that he is, and may you contine to cherish the similarities that he has to Hayley, but also, recognize and celebrate both of their unique gifts!(which I know that you do!)

Love and hugs,
Debbie

I can also still see her in Jacob. He is such an adorable boy, and I know his sister is always watching over him.

Congratulations on Jacob's baby dedication and allowing yourself the freedom to be "real" in feeling sadness inspite of the celebration for Jacob. I read recently that it's only in our deepest pain that we realize the deepest love. You certainly have felt both to the fullest. We adore your precious family and continue to pray for the fullest of blessings....and your right...Hayley is never far away...

Dayna,
Just wanted to share a little something with you. I had photo's of my 2 and 4 year old done a few weeks back. When we saw the proofs my 2 year old had red playdoh smooshed into the bottom of his shoe in several pictures. The lady told me they could photoshop it out, but I remembered you posting about Hayley's shoes with the playdoh on them and asked her to leave it in. I smile every time I look at it knowing that these are the important memories, not the "perfect" picture, but the real one that was that day. Thanks for reminding us to enjoy the simple things and not get caught up in all of the fuss and muss. Once I upload the pictures I will e-mail one to you :)

Hugs,
Joy

PS. I hope Jacob is feeling much better and Mom and baby have weathered their first cold not too much worse for the wear.

Sand Fleas
written by Susan Larson

�The death of a child takes you places you�ve never been before, not only in terms of emotions, but in terms of awareness of all that is. I liken the experience to playing on the shore with your friends and complaining about an occasional bite from a sand flea. It�s painful and annoying, but at least everyone else understands how you feel when you�re bitten.
Then one day, a wave grabs you and pulls you out into the ocean where you are bitten by a shark. You feel pain you never imagined could exist. And you�re alone in unfamiliar territory. When you get back to shore, you try to explain your pain to your friends, but the worst pain they can imagine is being bitten by 1,000 sand fleas. That�s all they know. There is no way to explain it to them.
But it�s not just the pain you can�t explain. While struggling under the water you�re suddenly aware that there is infinitely more to life than what we see on the shore. You see the ocean floor with coral reefs and rock formations, things you had never before imagined. You have tapped into the vastness of creation to a higher degree. And again, there is no way to adequately describe this vastness you see and feel. You have nothing to compare it to.
You have a true sense of a greater dimension, and you know that the loved one you miss is out there. You also know your loved one is not lost, but has only gone before you to a place more beautiful and vast than those on the shore could ever imagine. Yes, you still get annoyed with the sand fleas, but you now realize how trivial they are. And even if your friends don�t understand you, you know there is Someone greater out there who does.�

Today is Allie Scott's 2 year anniversary. Her family is in my thoughts and prayers. Along with thoughts of Allie come thoughts of Hayley. I learned about Hayley through Allie's site. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers all the time. I've got quite a few Caring Bridge kids that I follow, but Allie and Hayley just seem to hold a special place in my heart.
My daughter, who turned 2 in June is learning about circles in daycare this week. Of course that brought a smile to my face as I thought of how much Hayley loved "kirkles".
I hope that all is going well. I can't wait to get an update on Jacob. Take care!

I know that Hayley is happier than we could ever imagine....but I know that you guys still have rough days and long to see her again one day. Remember that we are still thinking of you and hope you are enjoying every inch of Jacob! May God bless you in the "everyday" of life...

I can't say I am new to your website, however, I was around when Miss Hayley was sick, and then somehow, my computer crashed and I could never find her site again after gaining computer access. :( Almost 2 years later, I have found her again, only to find that shes a little Angel watching over all of us. Very sad to read that. However, I am thrilled to see little Jacob has entered your life, what a handsome little guy. Congratulations!! I am sure big sister is watching his every little move, making sure hes a good little boy. Thanks for continuing the site, as I sure was touched by Miss Hayley.
Gods Blessings!!

I still check in on you guys regularly.....just wanting to keep up with Hayley's new brother and parents! I can't begin to imagine the thought of missing someone so deeply for a lifetime.....all I can do is pray that your days will be filled with joy (which I'm learning is much different than "happiness") until that day when you are reunited again. (I'm sure Jacob is "fitting the bill" right about now!) Hayley is never forgotten....and speaking of Hayley...her brother sure does seem to resemble her! Hope you are feeling our heart-felt prayers.....

I always wonder what she would be doing now and getting a drivers license. I was blessed with 2 more children, one who is 15 and a 10 year old. I think of my first one every day and still have tears. Always wondering, what could of been and what she would be doing. Enjoy your little one and know Hayley is watching. I know my Kayla is a guardian angel for her brother and sister. God bless.

Suwanee, GA - Friday, July 28, 2006 3:09 PM CDT

Dayna,
I received a link to your web page today and clicked on it because it said Hayley. I love the name Hayley! To my suprise your web page was one that I had been keeping up with in 2004. When I saw Hayley's face I remembered all your journal entries-especially the one that told all who loved her that she had entered into eternity. At that time my daughter, Maddy had just relapsed with AML for the 3rd time and was going for a second transplant. I remember how my heart ached for you, and how scared I was for me.

It has been almost a year since we've lost our little girl-and I miss her so much. In my grief I found myself smiling when I saw Hayley's face. I smiled even more when I saw that you have welcomed another child into your home. How precious....new life!

I pray that the Lord will continue to give you peace, and that your little boy will bring you new joys every day. I'm so happy I found your site again. I will be praying for you.

Blessing's In Christ,

Those pictures of Jacob are amazing. Every one with Hayley made my eyes fill up with tears. I miss that girl of yours. When I look at Jacob, I just know that he is going to grow up and make a difference in this world. You two are amazing parents to the most beautiful children. God bless you as you raise up Baby Jacob, and know that Hayley is never far from my thoughts.

Sincerely,

Just coming over to visit from Allie's site. Having lost a daughter to cancer, I know the intense feelings of sadness you are feeling daily. I am so thankful that God has blessed you with the gift of Jacob ( I am sure Hayley had something to do with that too !!) I absolutely love the pics. They are beautiful and touching to say the least.

Congrats on the arrival of baby Jacob !!!!

I think Nancy in Nashville and I were separated at birth....she always says what I am thinking. The pics are so tender, bittersweet, and emotional in every way. I love the finger pointing to Jacob's big sister.
Love to all,
