Hi,
Amber Lada here...I used to be Jeff's roomie and I can remember him talking about her and when he did I could see how much he loved her. (I'm sure he still does with all of his heart) I'm am sorry for the loss of your beautiful baby girl. I prayed for her and asked my church to pray for her a while back when she was still here. Anyways, I hope you and your family are doing well.

I only found your site recently and I'm sorry I did not "get to know" you sooner. It is also my birthday today (I'm 17) and it is an honor to share it with such an amazing little girl!

To Miranda's family-- I lost a best friend to leukemia 3 years ago so I have some inkling of how hard the birthdays without them here can be...I am thinking of you all and praying that you find strength and peace on this difficult day.

Just came by to see if you were still posting from time to time or not. So glad to see that silly picture of Miranda again.
Hope you are coping, and beginning to move forward with life. It's a different life than the one before our kids, and a much different life than the one while we had them here...but it's still live nevertheless.
It's our job to go forward, to bring their memories and legacies with us, and scream from every mountain top about them, their lives, what they endured, and what we've learned from them. It is our duty, to them, for being so strong, to now be strong in their place.
Don't let go, Martin. Don't let go of her, of her voice, of her smile, of her silly faces. Tell everyone you meet about her, and when they go home that night, and they hug their child tight, it will be because of Miranda...and that makes it all worth it.
Let her, and Christ, shine through you...oh, how bright you will be!
Wishing you all the best,

Great to see your recent posting, but so understandable that sometimes you just don't have it in you to write, and sometimes you just don't want to share what you are going through. This site is all about what you and your family need. Miranda will be loved, remembered and visited here no matter how often you write.

Hi Martin, thanks for checking in.

I stop by often but guilty of not leaving a note. I always dread that when I pull up Miranda's CB site that the picture of her has changed and I love.that.picture. That picture endeared Miranda to me. She will always be forever that age to me and no matter how bad this thyroid cancer and fibromyalgia make me feel, all I have to do is look at Miranda's picture and I feel empowered again.

If I read your latest entry correctly(my mind isn't firing on all cylinders anymore) you said something about doing what you can to get back to Miranda. I don't see anything wrong with that. Some would probably say that is just dead wrong to feel that way, like using God to get to Miranda but I don't see it that way at all.

And you still need a boost to write your next post? :-)

Keep on keeping on. It's what the Wally World shopping chic would want. My heart to yours.

Hi Martin.
I just read your entire journal entrees for your sweet Miranda. Your honesty, pain, hopefulness and humor were a tribute to the wonderful father you are to Miranda and Dylan... and husband to Gail. Gail is an incredible woman and mother. May you find peace in your journey. And it is ok to question and scream at God - he must understand. I also loved (and cried while reading) your song.

I don't think we ever get over the grieving, but knowing that we will see them again one day because we've given our life to Jesus is our only peace (if you can call it that). The knowledge of being with them again is comforting as we remain on this earth. The pain is still there, but just keep looking up and relying on God's guidance, comfort, and continuing love. I can't imagine what going through this without Jesus must be like. No hope, no peace, nothing.
Well now, I sound like Jimmy, too, so I'll close. I love your humor, God put that in you and I believe God has the greatest sense of humor too.

Dear Martin, WOW ! Thanks for sharing with us such a personal message. You know, you really are helping alot of people out there as you share your personal feelings as a result of what I consider the most tragic experience a parent can feel. I know for myself as I continue on with my life after Max's surviving his cancer, my biggest fear comes from what the docs told me to expect in his future as a result from the treatments. I'm suppose to plan on melanoma, lukiemia,heart,lung,and kidney transplants.I do try my best to rely on God, not the docs, but it's still there in the back of my mind. You give me hope that if some day, God decides it's Max's time, I might be able to get through that, though I can't even begin to imagine how. I guess that's where God steps in. Everytime I rely on myself and my own strength, I eventually fail or mess up. But when I allow God to take over, and trust him, things go so much better.(peace) No matter what the outcome of the situation. You really are giving alot of parents both with sick children or well children, hope, that they might be able to survive the inevitable. God is definitly using your family. I hope you feel his pressence as much as I see it in you!
Sincerely, Karen

Each one of your entries are "food for thought"

She has definitely not been forgotten. I never knew her, but she has absolutely touched my heart. Your journal is keeping her spirit alive.

I truly hope that you have many many happy memories to hold tight too. Hopefully some of those memories will start to erase the sad, painful ones.

Ill stop now, just know that you are being thought of and prayed for all across the country. :o)

Hey Martin,

I just wanted to let you know that your Miranda was in my thoughts. This is really awkward for me to say and I apologize up front for being so blunt about it, but I find myself lurking around here from time to time because we're both dads who both had pretty much identical challenges thrown at our little cuties, who were also the same age, yet we have ended up on such different paths...and no matter how much I rack my brain or look up for an answer, it just makes no (curse word) sense to me. Why Miranda? Why you? Why not Julianna? Why not me? Am I on the same path and just don't know it yet?

I don't know, man, I just don't know, it's just messed up. But I just really REALLY want you to know that I so wish for better days for you and yours. There's nothing superficial about that, that's dad to dad, heart to heart.

To better days, and to your Mirnada,

Hi Martin & Family,

Again, I'm so sorry for your loss of beautiful Miranda.....Please do not be ashamed of screaming with all your might when she passed......It is not shameful..You lost a huge part of your heart that day.. A huge part of your future that day.....It makes all of us out here in cyberspace want to scream & shout with all our might, too.

My best friend lost her brother in a freak car accident 16 months ago.. To this day her father walks around in a daze & just wants to shout at people "how can you laugh? how can you be happy? MY SON DIED!!!!!!!! Don't you get it? You should be sad, too!"

There is no shame...you guys have been thru the worst situation imaginable. If anyone has a problem with the fact that you may have changed - too bad - that's their problem. You have to do what you have to do to carry on. I admire your strength to go on & carry Miranda's happy memories in your heart.

Take Care. You're in my thoughts & prayers.

Hey Martin and family,
At a time like this, I have no idea of what to say. There is no possible thing that can take your pain away or explain why Miranda's life was taken so prematurely. I have no idea what that agony feels like and I truly hope that I never have to...reading your entry was heartbreaking as it is. So instead of trying to tell you it will all be all right, let me just say that I miss Miranda, I care deeply for you and your family and I am so sorry that Miranda is no longer here with you. And thank you for sharing your gorgeous little girl with us.
Hugs to you.
PS- How is Dylan? What is he up to these days?

Just think, eternity in heaven. Miranda is there! God's word says no more pain and new bodies! Spend time with someone you trust that knows the Bible and search for your answers there. God says we won't always know everything, but he will give you a peace in your heart if you let him. That doesn't mean life gets better, but your ability to deal with it will increase. Let me know if you need exact scripture for your questions, my friend is awesome at helping me find answers in the Bible. She lives her life for Christ. I know she would love to help if she can. Sincerely, Karen

Martin,

Miranda's garden looks awesome. I wish I had known to paint a preservative on the stepping stones my kids made about six years ago. I have their handprints in them and they did designs with marbles and glass but the stones are now beginning to crumble.

I just wanted you to know that you and your family are in my daily prayers.

I love the website you have for your daughter. It is very evident how much she is/was loved.

When I heard this song the other day, I thought of you:

By Kenny Chesney "Who you'd be today"

"Sunny days seem to hurt the most.
I wear the pain like a heavy coat.
I feel you everywhere I go.
I see your smile, I see your face,
I hear you laughin' in the rain.
I still can't believe you're gone.

It ain't fair: you died too young,
Like the story that had just begun,
But death tore the pages all away.
God knows how I miss you,
All the hell I've been through,
Just knowin' no-one could take your place.
An' sometimes I wonder,
Who'd you be today?

Would you see the world? Would you chase your dreams?
Settle down with a family,
I wonder what would you name your babies?
Some days the sky's so blue,
I feel like I can talk to you,
An' I know it might sound crazy.

It ain't fair: you died too young,
Like the story that had just begun,
But death tore the pages all away.
God knows how I miss you,
All the hell I've been through,
Just knowin' no-one could take your place.
An' sometimes I wonder,
Who you'd be today?

Today, today, today.
Today, today, today.

[Instrumental Break]

Sunny days seem to hurt the most.
I wear the pain like a heavy coat.
The only thing that gives me hope,
Is I know I'll see you again some day.

Some day, some day, some day."

LETTING YOU KNOW THAT YOUR THOUGHT OF ON MOTHER'S DAY.KEEPING YOU IN MY THOUGHTS AND IN MY PRAYER'S ALWAYS.

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.

I hope this Friday morning finds the sun shining on you, Gail and Dylan, and that Miranda's birthday in heaven yesterday was spent with more games from the hall-closet than she could ever imagine.

I'll be here for the next update....see you then.

Yes, Martin, please update. I was a quiet follower for a long time but the whole table thing prompted me to send you an email several weeks ago. I've been wondering if you got it and if you knew Morgan G. that I talked about. Anyway, I hope you and yours are doing well.

OK! If you don't update, your going to be in trouble! I have many friends who are quiet followers of you and Miranda and I keep getting the same question. Why hasn't Martin updated? Don't you know you are not aloud to have down time? Ha Ha! Please update so I can live in peace.
I'm still praying for you guys. I have it on my calendar that little Miss Miranda's birthday is arriving. I hope you can focus that day on the blessing of experiencing her birth, her special pressence and your short time you were blessed to have with her. I can't imagine it ever being less painful to lose your child whether their 2 or 90 years old. There will never be a good time. I can't imagine all the what if's that must be going through your head and heart since she was here so briefly. Lots of Love to your family, Karen

Martin and Gail- It hurts my heart to read about such a tragedy you both have experienced. I find it very hard to find the words to leave for you. I will say she certainly was beautiful and you can see what a great personality she had in all of her pictures.
I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Always remember you will be holding her again, one day, forever.
Martin, since you are a co-worker of mine, I look forward to learning from you. I haven't met Gail, but, I do know she has to be a special lady and a strong one too. My heart goes out to you!
That table issue really teaed me OFF. (Some people are just plain shallow.) I will remember them in my prayers, as well.

Give me 5 minutes with your table-talker....I would LOVE to give him/her a piece of my mind! I have not walked in your shoes, nor do I ever want to. I can't begin to imagine the pain that you, Gail and Dylan must have. It is insane for someone to walk into your home and have words of wisdom for you all. No...you do what is right for ya'll. Please know Martin, that we will continue to hold you all close in our prayers and thoughts. I know it has been a while since my last post...but believe me when I say that Miranda is never far from our thoughts.

Martin, yes, while Gail has been the absentee person here in the journals all along, no doubt shes been through her own living hell. Its not normal to outlive a child. Maybe the family member who said that didnt know the story behind the lack of table? Maybe they just didnt think. Maybe they should have asked before offering up your house for the meeting place. Whatever, who cares. You have bigger things to deal with than their feelings. And as you said, no one quite knows what its like. I looked at healthy kids with some "why him and not them" resentment when ron was on treatment, so I cant even imagine looking at kids the same age as yours WOULD have been. Just not right.

Hey Shively family,

I completely understand the kitchen table thing. The girls are expressing interest in eating at the table and I just can't get into it. I am thinking of selling ours at a yard-sale and get something different. We only have three chairs. I guess we all have our stuff to deal with. I haven't had to deal with peoples mouths like what Gail just experienced. I guess I am lucky in that sence. I guess we should pray for her family.

Well, keep up the good healing and look forward to reading your next journal entry.

Oh Martin and Gail, I will never be shocked again by what I hear from people and your story just strengthens my belief that if you haven't been here and gotten the t-shirt, you know not what you speak so you best not speak at all. I wish you peace in dealing with the search for a new table. It will never be as good a table as the Miranda table, but it will be a place to eat and hopefully share some new great memories with Dylan. Rambling as usual, you always seem to touch me deeply- maybe cause our girls were close in age. Meghan would have started kindergarten this past school year......sigh...Sending you peace.

I can still see those new tennis shoes she got with PINK laces! She was so proud of them! I hope you guys are doing well. I think of you often and I especially think of that sweet angel. She comforted my spirit when nothing else at the time seemed like it would. Anyway.... take care and keep in touch when you can. Martin, you just hang in there.

I love dogs and am sure Barney will be a great member of the family. God Miranda would have had a ball with him. On an aside, I think its ridiculous that we have all these kids and families are deterred by money. I was adopted myself and we all know most of us are NOT financially as ready to fork over that amount of money when we have our own children, doesnt take away from the ability to love or raise them though)

Dear Martin,

Congrats on Barney!!! And, you got him at what I think is a good age. You'll have missed out on the terrible "2s". The first two years with our beagle, Freckles, were pure torture. From age 2 until now (8), he really has been mostly pleasure. If you ever need any tidbits of advice (we've been pretty successful with most things, not successful with some), I've got lots to share. It's a lot of work but its well worth it too. Good luck with him.

I am always praying for you and your family.

I've been dropping in, sorry I haven't left any messages.I hope God will bless you with another child to love along with Dylan and Miranda. I'd have another if I could! Hope things are going good at your job!
We're going to Duke soon for Max's 5 year visit. It's amazing how you imagine what it will be like when you get to such a big mile stone, according to the doctors, but when you get there, life is still the same. Cancer may go away physically, but emotionally, your scarred for life. I don't think it will ever leave my mind. I just have to learn to live with it. Life does suck! It says that in the Bible, just not in those words. Have fun cleaning up the dog poop! Sincerely, Karen Cope
