I did not know how to get in touch with you and then I found your son's site. Every year I have a basket of hope fundraiser and last year Patrick mentioned he gets samples that could be useful for my baskets. Could you please get in touch with me (djmccorm2@gmail.com) We would like to continue to have a basket in Ryan's memory so could you also give us an idea for this year's theme. God Bless

I bet you still love frogs (I think of you every time I see one), but I bet you still have a place in your heart for Elmo, but have probably moved on to something else since you are 7 now.

Hi Sweetie,
We were in California on the 1st, in a place where we had no internet (hard to believe, I know!), but you know we are always thinking of you. Carolyn wore her locket w/your picture on the plane and most of the time, except to the beach -- she couldn't take a chance on losing it!
It's hard to believe it has been 4 years since we saw you -- it seems so long ago and yet it seems like yesterday. I hope you were able to send Mom and Dad some special signs so they know you are never far from them.
We love you!

Hi Ryan.
Since weeks and months probably have no meaning there, you may not remember that you got to Heaven about two and a half months after Mamie. We can't imagine the exciting things you and she have discovered since then, and we can hardly wait for you to tell us about them. But then we'll have eternity to explore together, which is probably how long it will take to see everything.
Tell Mamie and Jesus I love them.

Hi Sweetheart,
Tomorrow is Carolyn's speech competition for the state prize. Please keep her on track and help her not be too nervous. We drove by a cool house the other night and she said when she grows up she wants to live in a house that is shaped like an "R" so you can always look down and find her easily.
We love and miss you everyday!

Dear Linda and Pat,
Thank you so very much for you kind note on Benjamin's page. I was a little homesick when I read your message and it was nice to feel understood. I hope you make it back to Michigan soon. Ryan is such a special little boy. The pictures of Ryan and Carolyn and Carolyn's tribute to her best friend bring tears to my eyes...everytime I see or read them. I'm so sorry you are forced to live without him.
I send my best to both of you and would love to meet in person if you are in the area.

I was in Fenton the other day and thought about Ryan the entire time I was there. At the camp they have in Fenton they have Camp Quality for a week. It is a camp for kids that have, or had cancer. I went with a group that spent the day working with crafts, makeup, nails and costumes with pictures for them. Ryan came into my thoughts while I was there. I will never forget what a spirited and little fighter your son was. Saying a prayer for you during this this.

I know it is so hard for you all, as I will be coming up on the very first anniversary of Bailee's passing. I often look up to the clouds to see if she is sending me a heart, I thought I saw one, I tried to take a picture of it, I hope it turns out. My prayers are with all of us, who continue this life without our little heros. I often stop by, but never sign, guess tonight, all of those heros are in my heart.

I seem to remember tons of Baby Einstein dvd's and toys. I think it took you longer to unpack the car than the 3 hour drive up. I think I still have the sippy cup you left - it is waiting for Chloe's arrival. We send all our love, and enought tears to fill Wells Lake.

Hi Sweetie! We saw a big Elmo in the store yesterday so of course Carolyn and I were thinking of you. It was so great to see your Daddy Saturday, I know you gave him a LOT of strength to attend Hazen's service and to reach out to his family and give them comfort and hope for the future. Pretty darn amazing what folks can do with a special angel on their side. Now if you could just get that house in MI sold, so Mom and Dad can be in the same state!
We love you all,

I know that you guys were starting the adoption process. How is that going? I sincerely would love it if you kept us informed from time to time. You guys are just such great parents. I am blessed to have had our paths cross.
I think of you guys often. Always praying that you find the peace and strength.
With all our love, Jennie & Alyssa

Hi Sweetie! Did you have a Happy Birthday? Let me tell you what we did! I made a batch of chocolate cupcakes on Saturday for your birthday. But then I remembered Carolyn had to go to NY and do the VMA/HVA collection on Tuesday, so she couldn't have any chocolate after Saturday night. Since I knew the cupcakes wouldn't last around Evan (but mostly ME), we had a few and then I put the rest in the freezer. Thursday night we took them out of the freezer and put the icing on and they were delicious--and we got to celebrate your birthday all week!
We love you!

Happy Birthday Ryan! We think of you everyday. Since Tina was not home on Saturday, we waited until Sunday to send balloons to you in Heaven. They flew up so high, I'm sure you saw them. We had your Mom out for dinner on Saturday night and celebrated your life. I missed having your Dad out to but we got to speak with him after the Tigers won the AL Championship. He was celebrating your birthday in a favorite spot of his. We will all celebrate when God calls us home to spend eternity together.

But, God only takes the BEST!! As my son turned three on Friday, I find myself sitting here crying in pain for the loss of Ryan. Nic and Ryan are 1 year and 1 day apart. When Nic gets up from his nap we will send up a ballon to wish Ryan a belated 4th b-day in Heaven. God Bless you!!

Linda and Pat,
I wanted to let you know that not a day goes by that I do not think about the Ryan and the Connolly Family. I know everyday is difficult for you but please remember everyday a friend, family member, etc. is reflecting on a special memory that they had with you and Ryan. In the winter time I thought about the Sesame Street Show that we went to with Ryan and Jeremy. How special it was to be with Ryan and his Sesame Street Characters especially Elmo. In the Spring, I think about the St. Patrick's Day and what that day means to your family. Most importantly everyday if I see someone blowing bubbles I think of Ryan and just seeing one single balloon brings the beautiful vision of Ryan's face into my head. Your website is beautiful and it truly reflects Ryan, what he loved, and how much his family and friends will always love him. Sending Hugs, Kisses, and Positive Prayers your way. With Love Always, Lisa Dickinson and Family

Ryan we remember you...
(Your love,your life,your grace)
How we wish with all our hearts...
that we could see your face.
One year ago you left us...
And ran to our Lord's arms...
and heaven must be beautiful...
(but how we miss your charms)
F.R.O.G( on God we do rely...)
But we will always miss you...
(And sometimes wonder why?)
You've shown us what it means to love...
And what it means to fight...
And our love can't be measured...
By depth nor length nor height...
We do not say goodbye to you...
eternity is clear...
God holds you in heaven now...
(and your life holds no fear)
We'll hold you in our arms once more...
(How we await that day!)
When we can see you laugh and smile..
When we can watch you play.
One year ago you left this earth...
(We wait for the day when...)
You run to greet our waiting arms...
And hold us once again.

I remember the first time we came to see you and you were running all around the Ronald and looking at those big fishies in the tank. How you held on to aunt Julie...because she is use to boys! : ) And the many times when you were so uncomfortable and restless, but when we would begin to pray you became so calm and still. Don't you worry, we're going to take really good care of mommy and daddy when they come East, and I know that wherever they go, you are in their heart. I miss you. xoxoxo

G'day RYAN's mum and dad, thank you for coming to visit me today (it's Jay from Australia). I am sorry I did not get to know Ryan, what a wonderful strong boy. I know what he went through as I have battled Neuroblastoma, I know how tough it is to fight NB, he faught very hard and he never gave up - he was needed to be one of the lead NB Angels and was released from all the pain. NB is very painful, I don't think many people know that Neuroblastoma is a very painful cancer. I have been very lucky one so far and I am now fighting to find a cure for Neuroblastoma so other children do not have to suffer like me and Ryan and many others or are at the moment. Ryan will always be remembered. I would love to put Ryan on my Angel page if that is ok. I send you all lots of my strength and courage for you to keep living life as Ryan would want you to and be happy although it must be hard. Thank you again for visiting me, lots of hugs (Jay)

Hi Pat & Linda,
Congratulations! In my opinion Ryan & Chloe are two of the luckiest kids in the world. To know a home so filled with love - they are blessed beyond measure.
I no longer work at the Ronald McDonald House, but I still visit Ryan's Page often. I'm so happy to learn of your news! Often on my mind, always in my heart, forever in my prayers.

Thanks so much for signing Leah's guestbook. I sometimes feel like everyone forgot us. Some of us are going to Vegas during the summer for a support group kind of thing. Would love if you both could join us. Let me know if you need more information. It will be all parents of children that became angels due to brain tumors. Thinking of you and hoping that one day we find a little bit of peace, even if only for a fleeting moment. Great news about Chloe!! We are still contemplating doing the same thing. Take care.

Luke was so excited to receive some pennies from the North Pole compliments of your friend Heather. He cannot believe she was all the way in Alaska by Santa's house.
Needless to say, we are excited too about Chloe. I always loved that name but unfortunately it got vetoed in our house for our new baby. Luckily, you will be able to share a "Chloe" with us all!!
Luke cannot wait to see you both this summer and please know you continue to be in our thoughts and now we are on the hunt for our quilt piece and blessing to send off to you!

LETTING YOU KNOW THAT YOUR THOUGHT OF ON MOTHER'S DAY.KEEPING YOU IN MY THOUGHTS AND IN MY PRAYER'S ALWAYS.
Mother's day is coming... and I wanted to send you a sign.
Something you can tell others.. "Is from an angel of mine"
So I searched the Heavens high and low for that perfect thing
And low and behold I found it...and a smile I hope it will bring.
So when you look to the Heavens... and see the yellow stars in the sky
Just think of me.. your angel.. in the Heavens way up high
And just imagine those stars... are dandelions up above.........
Yes! Dandelions are also in Heaven.. .which you know much I love
So on this Mother's day... when you awake and feel blue.....
You will notice those yellow stars... are no longer in view...
So just look to the meadows and the dandelions you see...
Are the ones I've tossed down this Mother's Day from me!
And when you find a dandelion that.....turned from yellow to white...
You're supposed to make a wish.. and then blow with all your might...
For you will be blowing kisses.....to me in Heaven above...
And I will be catching them and blowing them back... sent with all my love...
Please know that I am with you... on this Mother's Day......
And also in the days ahead.... God and I will never stray...
We will be with you in the morning.... when you wake and see the sun...
We will be with you when you say your prayers.... when the day is done...
For God and I will never be.... very far from your side...
For I can now be everywhere and God will be your guide
So... remember when you see dandelions... it's your guarantee...
that I am always' close to you...
For dandelions are free to roam... now just like me.
I will always' be with you Mom...
Happy Mother's Day
Love, Your in Heaven

Thank you Ryan for the beutiful afternoon you sent for the walk in Central Park. It was cloudy and overcast in the morning, but about an hour before the walk started the sun broke through and it was gorgeous all afternoon. We walked with a lot of our friends from Sloan and they all loved the picture of Ryan that I wore on my back. Everyone is excited to meet Ryan's baby sister Chloe!
Aunt Linda, I love you! Happy Mother's Day!

A Mother's Day Wish From Heaven
Dear Mr. Hallmark,
I am writing to you from heaven, and though it must appear
A rather strange idea, I see everything from here.
I just popped in to visit, your stores to find a card
A card of love for my mother, as this day for her is hard.
There must be some mistake I thought, every card you could imagine
Except I could not find a card, from a child who lives in heaven.
She is still a mother too, no matter where I reside
I had to leave, she understands, but oh the tears she’s cried.
I thought that if I wrote you, that you would come to know
That though I live in heaven now, I still love my mother so.
She talks with me, and dreams with me; we still share laughter too,
Memories our way of speaking now, would you see what you could do?
My mother carries me in her heart, her tears she hides from sight.
She writes poems to honor me, sometimes far into the night
She plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells
She writes to other grieving parents, trying to ease their pain as well.
So you see Mr. Hallmark, though I no longer live on earth
I must find a way, to remind her of her wondrous worth
She needs to be honored, and remembered too
Just as the children of earth will do.
Thank you Mr. Hallmark, I know you’ll do your best
I have done all I can do; to you I’ll leave the rest.
Find a way to tell her, how much she means to me
Until I can do it for myself, when she joins me in eternity.

Pat and Linda,
What a beautiful headstone- just imagine what it is going to say to people walking by now and in 100 years (if the Lord tarries). "These parents loved their son, they had fun with him, they played with him, they taught him about Jesus, they believed in God, they were a light in the darkness of grief that surrounded them. Their son Ryan was loved deeply and his parents truly held on to faith in the One True God!!" I love you both so much and appreciate you still keeping Ryan's site updated!
Love, Angie

Dear Linda & Pat,
We are so sorry to hear about the loss of your precious little boy Ryan. We came across your webpage address from your guestbook entry to Ashley Graziano's website. We stayed up late reading all your journal entries and it broke our hearts. It seems like just yesterday that we were at Sloan exchanging Sesame Streets videos for our boys and thinking everything would we okay for all of us. Ryan was blessed to have two absolutely wonderful parents and I am sure he is an angel in heaven smiling down upon the both of you. Michael is doing well but we take things day by day and say our prayers because there are no guarantees in this life. We will pray to God to give you both the strength to carry on until you are united with Ryan again. Please accept our deepest sympathy and please keep in touch. Sincerely, Scott, Lucy and Michael Sojak

Thank you for stopping by to sign Cameron's guestbook. I love going to new pages. I really enjoyed reading all of your journals (actually I've only gotten through a few.) This is so hard. I feel like keeping a list of practical thoughts and irrational thoughts. Practical- "He's in a better place." Irrational - "I want him sent back right now." I could have a list on both sides.
I constantly listen to "With Hope" by Stephen Curtis Chapman...it just seems to get me through. If you haven't heard it check out the lyrics the song is great.
Our prayers are with you.

Hello Pat and Linda...hoping that many smiles are shared with you on this beautiful day...it's like Spring time here in PA. We just sent off our large crew of Penn State students who stayed with us again this weekend for "canning". The weather cooperated so well and they again collected over $3200.00 for THON! We had such a wonderful time and even met a few new kids this time! What was really neat...we came home from Mass to find everything all cleaned up!....sleeping bags and air mattress all rolled up, all the breakfast dishes...away! Can't get any better than that. These kids can come any time! We look so forward to seeing them again THON weekend at Penn State.
You two know that you are always in our hearts and we never forget you. Only wish we could be close enough to visit. Love you. ~ Sylvia

Hello Linda and Pat!
Thank you for signing Ronnie's guestbook.
I was just reading Rayn's story and it brought me to tears. He was such a sweat and brave little boy. I'm so sorry for your lost.
Hope you made it through the holidays and are having some fun with Yoda. The name made me smile. I'm czech orign and in czech yoda means something like muff or booby (in the best sense). Good choice I love the name.
Have a nice day. And God bless.

Christmas Without You
The lights are blinking merrily
The tinsel’s on the tree
It sits there in the window
For all the world to see.
The house is filled with holly
And pinecone scents the air
The Christmas cards keep coming
Each one is hung with care.
The gifts are tied with ribbons red
And topped with pretty bows
I’m done with all the details
As far as Christmas goes.
The fire is softly glowing
I think about your touch
But Christmas isn’t Christmas
I miss you oh, so much.
If I could have just anything
My Christmas wish would be
To wake up in the morning
And find you here with me.
Staring at your picture
I long to be set free
Tonight the tears are streaming
As I hold it next to me.
Flakes of snow swirl through the air
I’m braced for stormy weather
I wait for brighter days ahead
When we can be together.
So hold a place in heaven
Someday when life is through
I’ll be the Christmas angel
Who shares this day with you.
MY CHRISTMAS ANGEL

"Merry Christmas From Heaven"
I still hear the songs
I still see the lights
I still feel your love
on cold winter nights
I still share your hopes
and all of your cares
I'll even remind you
to please say your prayers
I just want to tell you
you still make me proud
You stand head and shoulders
above all the crowd
Keep trying each moment
to stay in HIs grace
I came here before you
to help set your place
You don't have to be
perfect all of the time
He forgives you the slip
If you continue the climb
To my family and friends
please be thankful today
I'm still close beside you
In a new special way
I love you all dearly
now don't shed a tear
Cause I'm spending my
Christmas with Jesus this year

I know it's been like forever since I've visited you.
I have just been so busy.
But I think of you always.
My First Christmas in Heaven
I see the countless Christmas trees,
Around the world below,
With tiny lights like Heaven’s stars
Reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular,
Please wipe away that tear,
For I’m spending Christmas,
With Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs,
That people hold so dear,
But the sounds of music don’t compare,
With the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you,
The joy their voices bring,
For it is beyond description,
To hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me,
I see the pain inside your heart,
But I am not so far away,
We really aren’t apart.
So be happy for me, dear ones,
You know I hold you dear
And be glad I’m spending Christmas,
With Jesus Christ this year.
I send you each a special gift,
From the heavenly home above,
I send you each a memory,
Of my undying love.
After all “Love” is a gift,
More precious than pure gold,
It was always most important,
In the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other,
As my heavenly father said to do,
For I can’t count the blessings of love,
He has for each of you.
So have a Merry Christmas,
And wipe away that tear,
Remember, I’m spending Christmas,
With Jesus Christ this year.

REST YOUR EYES
Your smile will never face in paradise
You can be my star in the sky
And I'll look to you as the days go by
And I know you'll shine
Oh you'll shine
So rest your eyes
Mother you can dry your tears
And sleep tonight
You should know there's no
Sweeter lullaby than God's
Even though we try
And your boy is safe and warm
So rest your eyes
And he will play in the greenest fields
Where the mountain air is
kissed by mist
Of the waterfalls so crystal clear
Where the hands of God
will cradle him
So rest your eyes
Your smile will never fade in paradise
You are among the stars in the sky
And I'll look to you and
be with you in time
And we'll shine, Oh we'll shine
So rest your eyes

love you and praying most especially during this Christmas season. xoxoxo love, sylvia

Hi Pat and Linda,
Just a little note to let you know we think about and pray for you daily. As the holidays are upon us, we realize that not all hearts are happy and light. I hope that knowing that Ryan's life was not in vain (his journey touched sooooo many lives) helps to warm your heart on the cold days. I will never forget his smile, his infectious giggle,or his carefree abandon on his second birthday at Jump 'n' Play gym. I will never forget the people who showed up at your house near Christmas last year as we prayed and sang together on your front lawn, while Ryan layed his weary head on your shoulders. In this world where evil and hatred seem too alive, there are times like those that remind me that God is alive, and the Holy Spirit is with us. Know that we share in your sadness this season. We will never know the depth of your grief, but we also share your loss. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your lives and for sharing Ryan with the world. Love and prayers, the Runnels

Pat and Linda...I attended the Memorial Mass for Liam Kane yesterday (www.liamjameskane.com)and John Alessi, a family friend read the following story that he wrote. I thought of Ryan also as he was reading it. John told me to feel free to pass the story on to whomever I felt would be comforted by it.
The Brave Little Soul
by John Alessi
john.alessi@gmail.com
Not too long ago in Heaven there was a little soul who took wonder in observing the world. He especially enjoyed the love he saw there and often expressed this joy with God. One day however the little soul was sad, for on this day he saw suffering in the world. He approached God and sadly asked, “Why do bad things happen; why is there suffering in the world?”
God paused for a moment and replied, "Little soul, do not be sad, for the suffering you see, unlocks the love in people’s hearts.” The little soul was confused. “What do you mean,” he asked.” God replied, “Have you not noticed the goodness and love that is the offspring of that suffering? Look at how people come together, drop their differences and show their love and compassion for those who suffer. All their other motivations disappear and they become motivated by love alone.”
The little soul began to understand and listened attentively as God continued, “The suffering soul unlocks the love in people’s hearts much like the sun and the rain unlock the flower within the seed. I created everyone with endless love in their heart, but unfortunately most people keep it locked up and hardly share it with anyone. They are afraid to let their love shine freely, because they are afraid of being hurt. But a suffering soul unlocks that love. I tell you this - it is the greatest miracle of all. Many souls have bravely chosen to go into the world and suffer - to unlock this love – to create this miracle - for the good of all humanity."
Just then the little soul got a wonderful idea and could hardly contain himself. With his wings fluttering, bouncing up and down, the little soul excitedly replied, "I am brave; let me go! I would like to go into the world and suffer so that I can unlock the goodness and love in people’s hearts! I want to create that miracle!"
God smiled and said, "You are a brave soul I know, and thus I will grant your request. But even though you are very brave you will not be able to do this alone. I have known since the beginning of time that you would ask for this and so I have carefully selected many souls to care for you on your journey. Those souls will help you create your miracle; however they will also share in your suffering. Two of these souls are most special and will care for you, help you and suffer along with you, far beyond the others. They have already chosen a name for you.”
God and the brave little soul shared a smile, and then embraced. In parting, God said, “Do not forget little soul that I will be with you always. Although you have agreed to bear the pain, you will do so through my strength. And if the time should come when you feel that you have suffered enough, just say the word, think the thought, and you will be healed.”
Thus at that moment the brave little soul was born into the world, and through his suffering and God’s strength, he unlocked the goodness and love in people’s hearts. For so many people dropped their differences and came together to show their love. Priorities became properly aligned. People gave from their hearts. Those that were always too busy found time. Many began new spiritual journeys – some regained lost faith – many came back to God. Parents hugged their children tighter. Friends and family grew closer. Old friends got together and new friendships were made. Distant family reunited, and every family spent more time together. Everyone prayed. Peace and love reigned. Lives changed forever. It was good. The world was a better place. The miracle had happened. God was pleased.
***
For Liam and all the Brave Little Souls who bear the pain that brings out the love and goodness in each of us. In the hope that someday we can end the suffering in the world by letting go of our fears and allowing the love God gave us to always shine freely towards everyone.

I found your website when reading the entries on Angel Alex's site. (My sister is a very close friend of Gretchen's.) Your Ryan was such a cutie pie! I want you to know my heart goes out to you and your husband. As a mother I cannot imagine how you feel. And reading the history of Ryan's disease, there were so many ups and downs. I really don't know what else to say, but wanted you to know that complete strangers are praying for you all. Good luck getting through the holidays. It sounds like you have wonderful friends and family to lean on.
Sincerely,

You are always in my heart.
"What cancer cannot do"
It cannot cripple love,
It cannot shatter hope,
It cannot corrode faith,
It cannot destroy peace,
It cannot kill friendship,
It cannot suppress memories,
It cannot silence courage,
It cannot steal eternal life,
It cannot conquer the spirit

I agree with Sylvia, those words touched my heart and are so true. I have experienced every one of those emotions, and I am sure I will continue to do so. I pulled out my Christmas shopping list from last year and had a good cry. Ryan's name was on my list. I've decided not to take his name off my list. I will purchase something that he would of loved (at least I wont have to worry about it being a duplicate of something he already has cause his Mom and Dad beat me to the purchase)and donate it.
We had Pat and Linda out for dinner on Sunday. They continue to amaze me. They have an amazing faith in God and strenght from Him keeps them going day to day. I believe that they do better than Rich and I.
Please continue to keep our family in your thoughts and prayers. The holidays will be hard without Ryan to share it with.
All our love, prayers and thoughts,

Hi Pat and Linda,
Just wanted to stop by and see how you are doing. We sent Ryan's balloons up and watched until we couldn't see them anymore. They didn't have any Elmo balloons at the store we went to, so Carolyn sent him a red heart that says "I Love You." We went to the mountains in W. Va. this weekend and I got Carolyn a "Pocket Angel" we saw in a shop, so she can always carry it with her and remember her special Angels.
Thanks for posting about her run in the Ronald McDonald race. She is really excited about running and helping other kids.
Love you,

Happy Birthday Ryan!
Carolyn and I are going to send you some balloons this afternoon. Look for the Elmo balloon, that will be a special one from her. I guess we'd better eat some cupcakes too!
We miss you EVERY day.
Love always,

Pat and Linda,
Happy Birthday to Ryan- thank you so much for the ideas of what we can do to celebarate. You both are such a special and caring and thoughtful couple. Absolutely nothing will take away the pain- but I pray in Jesus' Name the Comforter would envelope you more tightly and lovingly than ever before as you journey through this day.
We love you!
Angie and Steve

Pat & Linda,
I can't even begin to know what you are going through.. A first birthday without Ryan physically, but spiritually he will be with you.
Just take it one day at a time.. and know that there will be a lot of people thinking of you two tomorrow.
God will take care of you!!
Take care, Jayne Steel

Dear Ryan....tomorrow will be your first birthday in heaven...Oh I can just imagine the party that God throws for His children who are right up there next to him! Daddy and mommy are having a hard time...the first birthday that they are not spending with you here on earth...they've asked us to bake cupcakes for our children.....Meghan is coming home from school tonight, so she will indeed have a cupcake tomorrow!....the bubbles are ready to blow, and a note attached to a balloon will also be sent. In honor of your birthday Ryan there will be a pumpkin carved for you at Camp Sunshine in Maine... Camp Sunshine provides lots of fun to kids with cancer. You will never be forgotten sweetheart...and don't worry, I won't let mommy and daddy out of my life either. Give God a hug for me. Love, Sylvia

You guys are strong and a source of inspiration to everyone. Keep resting in Christ and never ever give up on God. Hang with HIM tooth-and-nail.

Hi, I love the photo too!
I'm not sure who Joyce Meyer is but between you and Heather, I think I better figure it out~
Seems like good timing for a conference with her.
Thinking of you today, and everyday, as Sean turns 3. (Poor kid is sick as could be with a bug.) No cake for anyone today. God Bless, Love, Ellen
