Hello Maria,
Merry Christmas and I hope you have a good New Years. I know that with challenging things happening it is hard to not think about what the next year involves...I have had a little trouble the last couple of days. I have been so happy and had a great Christmas and then with New years coming up my mind started to think of the challenges that I need to face already in the new Year...some exciting challenges and then the others.....anxiety provoking challenges. I wanted you to know that I often think of you and Sammy-Joe...I am sorry I don't write very often!
Feel free to read my journal if you ever want to....

Merry Christmas! Happy New Year!

What a blessing to know that the Holy Spirit is praying perfectly whatever the need!
Romans 8:26-27 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

is Silent Night, and especially the verse that
invites us to sing with the angels!
'Silent night, holy night,
wondrous star, lend thy light;
With the angels let us sing
Alleluia to our King.
Christ the Savior is born,

Wishing you a blessed Christmas

Dear Maria
This year has been extremely challenging for you and your family. For myself, 2007 has also been a particularly tough one to deal with - there have been lots of really positive and amazing things but also a huge amount of really difficult things to cope with, so much so I have sometimes wondered how to find the strength to deal with it all. I too have to count my blessings every day and keep a positive attitude, just as you are doing.
Christmas is almost here - it seems to have arrived quickly this year. It's been a fast-paced year. I am thankful we have survived!
Merry Christmas dear Liistro family. I am wishing for 2008 to be a kind one for all of us: less dramas to deal with, improved health for Sammy Joe and happier times for all!

I was surprised this morning to see a hymn added at the end of the service when we normally have silent prayer. I was distressed to see that it was "Abide With Me" because it's been many years since I've been able to sing that hymn without crying. Today was no exception. I want to share the verse that the hymn is based on as I continue to pray.
Luke 24:28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.

Hello Maria,
I am sorry I have not written for a very long time. I think of you really often. I am sorry about Sammy-Joe's deterioration. It would be very hard for him and for the family. I continue to have the compliment in my head that you are an amazing mum! You are a great mum with such a heart of compassion. I went back and read some older journal entries just to catch up. I am also sorry to hear about Joe's car accident and how badly things were. He is a Christmas miracle and I am glad that he was protected. I pray that as he deals with his trauma that things will get better every day.
I love you heaps....we should chat over email again sometime. I will write my email in here so you have it in case it has ever been lost. Merry Christmas, Maria....and I always love you.

Just wanted you to know that I was thinking
about you and your mammy. Today Mrs. G.
and I are headed downtown to see the windows
at Macy's Department Store decorated for Christmas.
When I was a little girl, that was the BIG treat for
a December outing: going downtown with my grandmother,
and seeing all the windows, and then visiting Santa. But, it
has been YEARS that the windows were not special. So, apparently
they have decided to decorate again this year.

Selah. There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.

out. Well, he was found yesterday about 2 miles
from home...a little muddy, but contentedly munching
grass. There was a cute picture, and it looks like he is
smiling...but, actually, he tried to push that door open
again! There will be a Welcome Home Party for him tonight, and the couple who found him will get

Hi Sammy-Joe
Do you have hummingbirds in Australia?
Yesterday a wee little hummingbird landed
in the flowers in my windowbox just a few feet
from my computer. He didn't stay long though.
My favorite birds are the yellow goldfinches,
and I have had LOTS (First year) feeding continually
at the thistle feeder which I can also see when I'm
at my computer.

Romans 8:26-28 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Hello Maria,
Hello Sammy-Joe.
I am really sorry I have not been around for a while. I read your update on Sammy-Joe...not just the journal but the proper update as to the operation he has had, the using of the wheel chair more often and speech and so on and I wanted to say that I know you are wanting to focus on the positive things...but I really do understand when you feel sad and when Sammy-Joe feels sad. Ilnesses are very difficult and don't go away. Other stresses can be fixed but chronic and critical illnesses are there unless God heals us completely. However, we wake up with the "knowing" of what is happening with the disease and that can make us feel sad. So I just wanted you to know that I am thinking of you all. And I am really sorry I have not stopped by for a long while.
Love you heaps,

When dealing with the unknown there can be a lot of fear. So I wanted to find a verse about fear and, of course, the first place I always look is in the Psalms. I started looking at the verses and realized that the majority of them spoke of the true fear that we should all have. So I decided to share this passage today. Praying as always!
Psalms 34:6-9 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

Hi Sammy-Joe
We had only one video that I thought
you'd enjoy. I gave most of them away
at the end of school because we don't
use them too much. At my old school
I used them during nap time. The four year olds
went to school from 8-3. That's a long time. If I
were a Mom to a four year old, I sure wouldn't want
to have him/her gone that long every day. But, of course,
as a teacher, I loved it.
Anyway, I mailed the video to you yesterday. And later
when I was thinking about the customs receipt, I think I
put VCR on it. Oh well, close enough, I hope.

Probably a stupid question, but do you have thrift stores in Australia? Around here there are always keyboards for sale really cheap! Maybe you could get a "new" one that way!
Doing something different today. This hymn came to mind and the words are so powerful, I just had to share them:
1. What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Ev'rything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Ev'rything to God in prayer!
2. Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a Friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our ev'ry weakness--
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
3. Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our Refuge--
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
In His arms He'll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.

Hi Mum, Dad and family. How are you? I hope this finds you well and happy. Mum - I have recently learnt how powerful the word, just, is. Promise me, you'll never ever refer to yourself as just as wife, mum, carer, friend or a like. Because youre not JUST all that. You are all that ten fold. Someone was talking to me recently and used the word JUST alot. When I finished speaking to the person I really struggled to believe in what I was doing because the word just is so powerful - I think we should take it out of our vocab. I think it belongs with, can't. You're never just, your loyal, your beautiful your strong, your optomistic, your brave, your courageous, your a wife, a daughter, a mother (even to me), a friend and above all someone who never fails to be their for your family and friends. Take care my precious and send my Prince a big hug from me xxx

Time...such a simple word, such a complicated topic. Sometimes it flies by so quickly you truly don't know where it went. Yet it can also seem to stand still. I looked it up in a concordance and it's used 573 times in the Bible. It's used in so many different says. One thing I've learned by stopping by so many pages is just how precious time is.
This is a very special verse about time:
Psalms 37:39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.

Ephesians 3:14-19 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

Some thoughts from Scripture as we remember here in the U.S. those who gave their lives for us this Memorial Day. Remembering all the servicemen from your country who have given their lives as well!
Romans 5:6-8 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Firstly, my condolences on your Uncle Charlie. Even when you know that they are going to go soon, it doesnt make it any easier. I think it makes it worse as you want them to stay for just that little bit longer.
*hugs*
As for Sammyjoe, You ROCK MAN!!!!! Im so impressed and so PROUD!!! YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!! I wonder what you are going to see at the Movies. Dude, you are an inspiration and a half. Honestly, all anyone has to do is hang out with you and the shine is always shining!!!
Joe, things are hard, but take one day at a time, and dont take on more than what you can. Remember to breathe (and I dont mean literally although, thats probably a great idea!!) and have time out for yourself.
Christian, you are one mean basketball player. I know you have what it takes to get to state and beyond. You are an awesome person and although I know that we dont really talk all that much, I do admire you. Yes, admire you.
Take care, especially you Maria, and its great to hear that your dad is on the mend, as is SJ.

Hi Sweetie. Boy, have you been busy! I'm so proud of Sammy Joe for his appointment. He's growing up! I hope he's feeling better. Yay, for Christian and his win! I'm also really glad to hear that your dad is improving but I'm sorry to hear that Joe has been depressed. I guess it's understandable with everything going on, but I'll keep praying for all of that nasty stuff to move out of your life and give you all a well-deserved break! You have been so overworked, it's no wonder you're getting headaches! Lord God, I pray that you relieve every one in this wonderful family of all of these burdens. I know that you will carry these burdens for us when we come to you in need by faith, and I ask you now to cover this family with your feathers of healing and protection and love. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
I will keep in touch. I will also keep you in my thoughts and my prayers. God Bless you all.

Romans 1:13 Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.
I know this seems like a strange verse to share but bare with me. Paul wanted to go to Rome badly, but the Lord prevented him. From Paul's perspective it must have been hard to understand. What possible reason could the Lord have had for NOT allowing Paul to preach in one of the greatest cities at that time? I can think of one reason! The book of Romans! If Paul had gone directly to Rome when he wanted to, we wouldn't have this amazing book of the Bible! Oh the comfort and truth found there! How does this apply to us? From our perspective so often in life we can't understand what possible good could come from what we're going through. Just as God was intimately working in Paul's life, He's taking the same love and care with ours! When going through trials that's impossible to see. So it's called faith! Faith that the same God who died on the cross for YOU, loves you enough to work out even the smallest details in your life! And oh how I'm here praying!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today we celebrate one of the most amazing yet totally incomprehensible days in all of history. I wanted to share some verses that speak of this day, praying that they'll touch your heart as they have mine. Still here praying!
Isaiah 52:14 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:
Isaiah 53:4-6 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
John 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

Here is a "word of wisdom" for you about dumb people:
Before you criticize someone, you should wak a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them you are a mile away and you have their shoes!"

Don't know why but had the hardest time picking a passage today. Know that I'm still here praying, Sammy Joe!
Psalms 40:1-5 I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD. Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

Every once in a while I have to come back and share this passage that I've shared before in some guestbooks. I just really think it's important to know that the Holy Spirit Himself is praying for you! What a tremendous comfort!
Romans 8:26-27 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Wow, Liistro Family!! What a change to the home page on your CaringBridge site! It looks GREAT!! Sammy-Joe, sounds like you are one miserable young man right now -- bad news for everyone. I can't even begin to imagine what it feels like to be locked up in your body with all its troubles much less locked up in your body AND sick. All I know is that you've got a terrifically supportive family to help you get through the rough patches. I just hope and pray that your terrifically supportive family will always have enough support for themselves, in all ways possible, to carry on bravely in the daily battle of life.
What's making you feel so sick, Sammy-Joe? That has got to be so-o-o-o frustrating for everyone. I can't function when I'm sick, so I hope you're feeling brighter and better and happier sooner than soon!!!
Lots of love and hugs and prayers, too,

I know I check it daily but I really feel your website is so inspirational, the music states SJ to a perfect, SJ your our hero. I love the basketballs, I love it all. I hope your hanging in there and being a beautiful prince because your princess thinks of you every day and night. No words could ever feel the page to what you all mean to me just remember that I love you very much and we don't need to see the words to have a common understanding of just how special our friendship is.
Take Care my special friend,
B

HI Sammy-Joe, Maria, Christian and Joe
Today is the first time that I have visited your web site and was quite emotional when reading what Sammy-Joe has gone thru and what he is yet to expect. I keep thinking, Maria, that you are probably the most positive person I have ever met and find compfort in that, you are always telling me to let go of the past, whatever that is, but I have leant to be more patient with people and their needs but sometimes have to think about what I do and what it will achieve, so i guess what I am really wnating to say is THANKYOU, youare a credit to your family and I am really happy to have been a part of your life and wish you and your family a long life together, because you have really earnt it.
Sammy-Joe, your parents really love you lots and lots, guess I really dont need to tell you this but thought I would let you know that they too appreciate everything you give them on a day to day basis, take care and I am sure we will see you real soon, cause I need to come and have a coffee with your mum, if that is ok with you.
Take care from Danielle and Shona

Lord, look upon us with the eyes of Your mercy, may Your healing hand rest upon us, may Your life-giving powers flow into every cell of our bodies and into the depths of our souls, cleansing, purifying, restoring us to wholeness and strength for service in Your Kingdom. O God, who is the only source of health and healing, the spirit of calm and central peace of this universe, grant unto us such a consciousness of Your indwelling and surrounding presence, that we may be able to receive from You health and strength and peace, through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN.

I always read the verses that the hymns are based on every Sunday. One of the hymns was based on this psalm and I wanted to share the whole thing with you. Still here, still praying!
Psalms 130:1-8 Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD. Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared. I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption. And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

I now I am so fortunate to speak to you all everyday and I don't need to write in here to feel like we are apart of each other, because we are apart of each other forever. When I am smiling, your smiling. When your sad, that makes me sad. Everything I do, I do it with you in my heart. Promise me you'll remember your never alone... when in the crazy race of life together. Keep being you, keep being strong for your the wind beneath my wings, Brooke

Hi Maria & Sammy-Joe!
Hom and I enjoyed the photos of Christie wearing Sammy-Joe's "Uncle Sam" hat. When he wears it, he can be "Uncle Sammy-Joe"! This CaringBridge page is quite the celebration when you look at all the pictures and graphics on the home page and all the "happy birthday" and other cool graphics on the guest book pages. I don't know how to add graphics to the guest book entries -- maybe I can get a lesson from somebody someday.
It sounds like you're not feeling well, Sammy-Joe, and your body is out of whack causing you to short-circuit and go haywire. I hope you feel better sooner than later so that everything calms down a bit. Life must be extra challenging for you and everyone around you when you're out of sorts. I guess those times make everyone (like you, Maria) REALLY appreciate when you're in a better space. Let's pray for LOTS of "better spaces" for you to be in.
We had a special meditation service tonight at church, and I was thinking about and praying for both of you. You are in my thoughts and in my heart.
Anyone in the family going to the Moomba Waterfest this weekend?
Lots of hugs with arms stretching all the way from California to Victoria,

Hi Maria! Hi Sammy-Joe!
Wow, Good Buddy, your birthday will be here in just a couple of days. We've got a package on the way to you; I hope it arrives soon. Any special plans for celebrating your 18th birthday? Sammy-Joe, when you're feeling good, you manage to make every day a celebration -- at least that's what it sounds like from the journal entries your mom writes. I love all the recent photos with the funky hats and funny wigs. Sammy-Joe, you look good no matter what you're wearing! You look good with a hat on, and you look hysterically funny with a wig on. What a sense of humor you have! Someday it would be fun for me to travel to Australia again and visit you and your family -- and wear funny hats and give you and your mom lots of hugs! But right now, I have a lot of homework to do. Lots of reading and writing to do. Are you still counting, Sammy-Joe? I hope so! And what about the home schooling program. Will that be starting soon?
Well it's almost 3 a.m. here in California -- time for me to go to bed and get some sleep. I'll be thinking about you, Sammy-Joe, and hoping that you feel fit as a fiddle on your birthday. Will someone be videotaping your special day? I have no idea what your voices sound like. Hm-m-m, do you folks have audio cassette tape players or are they considered too old fashioned now? It would be fun to make a tape of some conversation and send it back and forth. Let me know if you can play regular audio cassette tapes or mini audio cassettes, and I'll make a tape this weekend to send to you so that you can hear my voice. And maybe anyone else who is reading this lengthy post might be inspired to do the same. I've done this before with friends and family, and it's been a lot of fun.
Lots of love, hugs, prayers and smiles,

As we enter the Lenten Season today I thought I'd share a passage from Isaiah that really speaks of what this time of year is all about. Am still here praying!!!!!!!!!
Is 53:3-6: He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.

Hey,
No worries! Wasnt sure if he liked Steve Irwin or not, but I had a feeling he probably would!!I couldnt decide which one to send him. In the end I decided that as long as it had a croc and Steve Irwin on the front, I couldnt go wrong!
Have a heap of pics which I will have to put up on lj for you - might be easier to send them actually, so you can see what I got a geezer at.. It was pouring with rain, but I got crocs, elephants, snakes and tigers and koalas as well as some others...
Anyway, sorry I havent signed in, I do check as often as I can, but this year seems to be "visit a doctor month for me!" No wonder Sammy joe gets over it! Im over it already! and I dont even have that many appointments!!!
Take care, big hugs to you all.

Keeping you Close to my Heart and Deep in my Prayers.
Seding Love Hugs and a Miilion Prayers to you all.
To My Child...
Just for this morning, I am going to smile when I see your face and laugh when I feel like crying.
Just for this morning, I will let you wake up softly, all rumpled in your sheets and I will hold you until you are ready for the day.
Just for this morning, I will let you choose what you want to wear and smile at how perfect it is. Just for this morning, I am going to step over the laundry and pick you up and take you to the park and play. Just for this morning, I will leave the dishes in the sink and let you teach me how to put that puzzle of yours together.
Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and keep the computer off and sit with you in the back yard and blow bubbles.
Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny grumble when you scream and whine for the Ice-cream Truck, and I will buy you one if he comes by.
Just for this afternoon, I won't worry about what you are going to be when you grow up, or second guess every decision I have made where you are concerned.
Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake cookies, and I won't stand over you trying to fix them.
Just for this afternoon, I will take you to McDonald's and buy us both a Happy Meal so you can have both toys.
Just for this evening, I will let you stay up late while we sit on the porch and count all the stars.
Just for this evening, I will snuggle besides you for hours, and miss my favorite T.V. show.
Just for this evening, when I run my fingers through your hair as you pray. I will simply be grateful that God has given me the greatest gift ever given. I will think about mothers who are searching for their missing children, the mothers who are visiting their children's graves instead of their bedrooms and mothers who are in the hospital rooms watching their children suffer senselessly, and scream inside that they can't handle it anymore, and when I kiss you goodnight, I will hold you a little tighter, a little longer. It is then I will thank God for you and ask him for nothing,
EXCEPT ONE MORE DAY

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO YOU BOTH AND TO JOE & CHRISTIAN, TOO!
I just checked the World Clock, and it's closing in on 7 p.m. in your neck of the woods, which means that Valentine's Day is almost over for you folks. Do you even celebrate Valentine's Day in Australia?? My husband, Hom, is traveling in India right now and he called earlier this evening, which was still the 13th here in California, and wished me a Happy Valentine's Day. He had hidden a Valentine's Day card and some chocolate for me in his underwear drawer, and believe me, I never would have thought to look there for a surprise! I found the goodies and told him that I wouldn't open anything until Valentine's Day. Right now, as I'm writing this note to you, it's just a little after midnight on Feb. 14th and I am working on a paper that is due for one of my classes. Since Thursday I have been working almost nonstop on school assignments and was getting pretty tired. Today I took a nap in the afternoon and now I'm wide awake and getting ready to do some online researching and writing in order to get this present paper finished and turned in.
One of my classes is about children's literature for ages 6-12. I have been reading children's books of folk tales and myths from around the world. Interesting stories! The title of one book is "Dogs of Myth" and includes stories about people marrying dogs!
Have you ever heard of the book, "The Whingdingdilly" by Bill Peet? It's a sweet book about a farm dog named Scamp who is tired of being a dog and wants to become something more special, like the horse he knows who gets lots of attention and admiration. Scamp goes off into the woods and meets up with a zany witch named Zildy who transforms Scamp, not into the horse of his dreams, but into a Whingdingdilly, a creature with body parts of different animals: elephant front legs, zebra back legs and a zebra tail, the neck of a giraffe, the snout of a rhinoceros, elephant ears, reindeer antlers, and the hump of a camel. The author draws all the pictures in the book, so you get to see what a Whingdingdilly looks like. As you can imagine, Scamp's life gets more complicated and he ends up in miserable circumstances. What will happen next??
I was telling one of our friends at church about you, Sammy-Joe, and about you, Maria. He not only agreed to pray for you both but also called our church headquarters in Los Angeles and asked to have both your names put on the prayer list. I felt like those prayers and the prayers of so many others were really working when I read about your breakfast outing at Sammy-Joe's grandparents' home. That was terrific news since it had been so long since the last breakfast outing. And Sammy-Joe counting -- terrific!!
Will the home school program be starting at some point? Did I miss some information about that in one of the journal entries? What's the latest on the home school program? I feel like I'm home schooling because two of my college classes take place online and only one meets on campus once a week. It's very different from when I went to college 15 years ago. The Internet has made such a huge difference in the lives of so many people around the world.
If it weren't for the Internet, we would not know about each other. Hugs & Hope and other wonderfully supportive organizations would not exist.
Sammy-Joe, keep counting and learning! Maria, I wish we could sleep for you! I wish we could deposit sleep minutes and hours into your sleep account that you could withdraw when you don't get enough sleep yourself. Wouldn't that be cool?
I'm still waiting (patiently) for Sammy-Joe's head measurement so that I can be on the lookout for some zany hats for our handsome young man to wear. Sammy-Joe, what kind of hat would you like to add to your eclectic collection?
Lots of love, hugs, prayers and smiles :~)) XOXOXOXOX

What comfort to have such a sure promise from Jesus, an anchor for our soul!
Heb 6:17-20: Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

The passage is long today (could have been worse...the psalm is 22 verses long but didn't want to overwhelm you) but oh what words of comfort! Praying so that the Lord uses them to touch your heart!
Ps 34:1-10: I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.

Dear Maria and Sammy-Joe,
I think this is the first time I am adding an entry to Sammy-Joe's guest book. Every Sunday at church, we end the main service with a healing service for others: physical healing, mental and emotional healing, and spiritual healing. When we do the prayer for physical healing, I think of all the Hugs & Hope kids, but I VISUALIZE God's healing energy and divine light permeating and surrounding Sammy-Joe. I should try doing this healing visualization DAILY as an experiment. We have group meditations on Tuesday evenings, and when I attend those, I also visualize Sammy-Joe in God's divine light. Unfortunately, my track record for attending services on Tuesday evenings hasn't been all that good.
Sammy-Joe, congratulations on getting started with a home schooling program. When does it officially start, or has it started already? I read in your mom's journal entries that it was "going" to start, but when? Sounds like a great mix of education and therapies. Maria, let all of Sammy-Joe's fans around the world know how the home schooling is going, once it gets started.
Maria, thank you for the sweet, sweet tribute that you wrote regarding the Christmas package that I sent to Sammy-Joe as his Hugs & Hope elf. When I read your sweet words of thanks and saw the photos of Sammy-Joe with his gifts, I felt like I had won a major award!! You know, here in America, winning an Oscar is a big, big deal for all the people involved in making movies. Seeing my name in your journal entry made me feel even more celebrated than winning an Oscar. Thank you -- you are so filled with gratitude, and it shows in everything that you write in your journal entries. All the photos that you include are marvelous to look at. Sometimes I've spent an hour or two at a time just reading your journal entries and looking at the photos. I hope and pray that you will be able to get enough sleep on a regular basis.
In one of your journal entries, you said that you were hoping that God hears your prayers. I remember reading a book on one woman's near death experience. In her story, she said that she could literally see prayers like light beams emanating from earth. She said that the light from some prayers was like that of dim penlights, but that the prayers of mothers for their children were like huge strong laser beams with much power and sincerity behind them. So, rest assured, Maria, your prayers are being heard!
I've been thinking about hats to send to Sammy-Joe to add to his collection of eccentric hats. Sammy-Joe, what kind of hat would you like? And what size hat do you wear? How many "special" hats do you have now in your collection? Maria, can you please measure Sammy-Joe's head and let me know what his hat size is?
http://www.garbtheworld.com/pgs/hatmeasurements.shtml
It's raining cats and dogs off and on tonight in San Jose, California. The cats and I are inside where it's warm and cozy. My husband, Hom, is in India for a few weeks.
We have something in common, Sammy-Joe! We are both going back to school! You will be doing your schoolwork at home, and I will be doing a lot of my schoolwork at home, too, since some of my college classes will take place with e-communication tools that will allow the professor to interact with his or her students by computer. Due to technological advances, things have changed a lot since I last went to college in the mid-90's!
I wish you all lots of rain and cooler weather even if it is your summer. I was happy to read that Sammy-Joe is going outside at night to explore the garden -- gives him a little more breathing room to hang out in.
Lots of love, hugs, prayers and smiles from California!

We just wanted to stop in and let you know we are thinking of you. We hope you're feeling better. Benjamin loves the Wiggles too. He also love Bananas in Pajamas, but they don't air them on American televisions anymore (at least no in our area). He has B2 that sings the theme song, however. So it's all good. We really enjoyed reading about your favorite things. Your mom is so good to keep up your website. Please give her a special hug from us and one for you too!

Hi Sammy Joe!
Looks like you had a fun time in the toy box that day! I have been doing pretty good. I have a holiday from school on Monday so a three day weekend for me. Isn't that great! I'm so happy I get a break for a couple days. Well, I have a lot to do today so I'm going to cut this a little short. I hope you have a great weekend!
Love and hugs,

This psalm is such a special one. I pray that it gives you comfort and peace!
Ps 121: I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

Rom.8:16-18: The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

I just wanted to take a minute today to thank you for sharing your family and all you're going through with everyone. I know that some have gone through added trials because of it (having to deal with spammers and those who feel the need to pick apart everything that the family is doing, etc). But being able to read the updates, to pray for your family, has given me an insight on life that I wouldn't have otherwise. It is through you and the others who continue to share that I have learned and am learning to the extent that anyone can who's not in your situation, to truly number my days. And what a blessing to be among those who are praying for you!
Ps 90:12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

And I can't imagine what kind of person would email such things, sure seems like you did the right thing turning to the authorities. I hope that was just an isolated event and 2007 brings new hope.

I miss you so much! I am sorry that I have not written

Collin lately. I did not recieve any negative e-mail but
I am so sorry to hear that someone is doing this to you.

difficult your life is. I just think that some people
just don't get it. I am sorry that Sammy-Joe has been having a hard time. It is never easy when our boys dont feel well.We have changed some of Collin's meds. So, I am
hoping that things will pick up for him. It is amazing how such a little guy can change you world in such a HUGE way! wink! I want you to know that I do truly love you and your are always in my heart and prayers. Life is often a bit much and wiht the holidays it made it hard to write everyone. I LOVE YOU. YOU ARE A GREAT MOTHER AND FRIEND. I hope this new year is filled with lots of blessings for your sweet family.

Hello my gorgeous family,
I got up this morning and read your journal entry. As soon as I began my eyes filled with tears as I read it. I had a silent tear running down my face. I am not a mother, I could never understand whats its like to experience the death of a child but as someone who has lost dearly loved ones I can only try to understand. I guess death is something that we all face, some more than others. I know when I have lost people and Harley that I think death is the one thing God didn't give much concideration too, when people were introduced to earth. I hate death and I couldn't imagine my life without you all in it. I know we have photos, I know we have glorious memories but sometimes that aint enough to fix the heart ache. I love you all so much, but I don't need to type that because I tell you every day. "WE" battle the sea of life together everyday and that'll be forever xxx

I can't believe that a week from tomorrow is Christmas! In the spirit of the season I'm going to be sharing Christmas Scriptures. Praying that they will be "tidings of comfort and joy" for you!
Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Picked a verse that speaks of what happened around here a couple of nights ago. I live in Seattle, and the Lord brought "the wind out of his treasuries"! We lost power for about 14 hours and the internet for a lot more. So I'm sorry I haven't been around but know that you've been in my prayers!
Ps 135:7 He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.

Wow Sammy-Joe, I think that it is awesome that you got to go see the Wiggles! And I just love the pictures of the show too! You sure looked like you were having so much fun. And also to get to go swimming again was just too cool. I am so glad that you are doing well. I hope that the new carer is working out good. I think of you often, and pray for you and your family too. I hope that you have a very nice Christmas.

The Wiggles look great from the photos - glad you enjoyed them so much Sammy-Joe. The swimming looks good fun too and playing football - your new carers are doing their best to wear you out!
Maria - so glad to read that at last you are getting some much needed support, and I hope that you will be able to take a little respite time for yourself, once routines and relationships are established.
You deserve it.

Maria,
We met a few years ago at the NIH (National Institute of Health). I looked at your pictures and Sammy Jo has grown a lot since then. To help jog your memory, I had two of my kids with me (Bennett and Mina). They are heading back to the NIH in the morning and out of the blue Mina asked me about Sammy Joe. I looked you up on the web and am so glad to be in touch with you. I wanted to let you know that even though I only met you for a couple of days, the memory of your strong spirit and love for your sons has stayed with me for years. I will say prayers for you tonight. Love from Tennessee (we used to live in Ohio but moved near Nashville last year).

These verses are really special. They start out with everything that's going wrong, yet in the midst of all that the author rejoices in the Lord!
Hab.3:17-19: Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places.

Hello You bouncing balls!!!!
Life has been pretty hectic.... am packing like I'm in a factory line to move next Wednesday (not tomorrow) and I didnt realise how much utter CRAPOLA I actually have!! Deary me.
Anyway, Sammy Joe, You are looking much better now than what you have lately! You an entertainer! I'll second that... You make me smile... Will have to send you some pictures, got one of a gorgeous parrot (I Think) when I was walking past some of the gardens at work yesterday.....
Maria, those who are being negative are those that dont understand what they are missing out on... They are missing out on Sammy Joe and his wonderful personality and hugs and the funny things he does... More loss to them, because they will never be able to appreciated just what a wonderful person he is, or how courageous you are.
OMG Sammy Joe, you 18 next year? Time has flown like mad hasnt it.. You going to have a party?? What theme are you going to have it as??? Im envious, Im a long way from 18 now lol! Just celebrated my bday!!

Hey Mum, Dad, SJ and Christian,
How are you? I hope this finds you well, happy and laughing lots. I know I don't need to tell you but I wanted to reinforce just how much I look up to you, love you and respect you. I understand that we can't talk everyday but I know we are in each others thoughts and smiles. However, just incase you may have lost hope, love or friendship I wanted to remind you that you're all champions. You never give up despite what life has thrown at you. Champions hold their heads high. I believe what you've achieved individually and as a family goes way beyond the win-loss column or whats gonna be found in our newspapers. You've achieved something that some people spend their whole lives trying to find. What you have achieved is that ever elusive victory within. I am so proud to know you, to love you, to consider you family but above all I am so proud of you!
Well, I know I will speak to you in the next couple of days so until then my little cherubs take care and look after each other! Blowing you hugs and kisses, Brooke

Hello my sweet and beautiful friend. I'm so sorry it's been a few days since we've been by. Bethany is not doing well at all. I know how much you love Bethany, so I wanted you to know Sammy Joe. She has been looking for a picture of her to send so that you would laugh or at least smile. You tell your mom how blessed you are to have her too. I know she feels blessed to just be your mom. And your dad is so amazing too. Christian is such a great brother. I know you feel so happy to have them for a family.
We love you and think about you everyday and pray for you. Tell Mom I miss her so much, and that I love her, I love you all my beautiful friends!!!
You keep Believing in that miracle. In Fact.....
Lord, I THANK YOU for the miracle that you are going to give to this family. Lord, I speak peace over this family, and I stand in agreement with Maria and so many others that this miracle will be received by Sammy Joe. Something that they will know has came straight from you Lord. Comfort them now, until Your time for the miracle.
In Jesus's Name....
Love you guys so much!!!

I so agree with you! Nothing is impossible! I had two doctors tell me I would never find a doctor that could make me better last week. How dare they make any decision on that. They know so very little about what is making me sick.
I really hope you can find a way to get that jungle gym in! (Children's Wish said I might get my laptop next week.)

I am sorry that I haven't visited you in a while.
But, that doesn't mean I stopped praying for you.
That's great that Christian got such a good report in school.
My Preschool started yesterday, and I am very happy to be
back in the school routine. I was so busy the last two weeks
getting the classroom back in shape.
I, too, was so sorry to hear about Steve Irwin.
Maria, I am also sorry that you have been so hurt
by a person you thought was your friend. How devastating!
Prayers and love

Hi guys,
Sorry I havent signee recently, just had a couple of days off with sinusitis - not fun. Feels like a bear is sitting on my face, as well as sleeping upright!
Maria, I will have to arrange with you to drop by again - you will have to let me know when suits you. This weekend is out for me, but other than that, its all good :) Would love to catch up with you all, at the very least, Sammy-joe and yourself, and spend time with you.
Love Jerildene

Hi Sammy-Joe,
I haven't been here in a while, I lost all my favourites, but I found you again on another site. I'm sorry you have to have all these hospital appointments, and that you aren't feeling too good. We too were saddened by the death of Steve Irwin, my grandsons always watched his programmes on the TV. Callum came in that morning and it was the first thing he told me, he'd heard it on the news, he's only 6, but loved the crocodile man, he has some video tapes of him.

Hello Maria, Joe, Sammy Joe & Christian,
I do hope Sammy Joe is feeling better today, you are having such a rough time, I just wish I lived closer and could do something to ease the stress and pain.Maria I am utterly disgusted to think that anyone could be so cruel to criticize you, and be so hurtful, when we all know what a tremendous job you do, I wonder how those type of people would react if they had to walk in your shoes - just for a day even. Please take care, Maria - we all know how precious you are and what a WONDERFUL MOTHER you are.
Regards to You All,
Phyll

To an adorable family,
Whatever I do in this life, a little part of you is doing it too because you are never to far from my thoughts and mind. I love you all so much and wish I had a wand to take away all your pain, sadness and illness but I can't so I promise that I am always only a phone call away from you. Hearing you laugh SJ makes me laugh because your giggle is infectious. Mum and Dad you have an overwhelming amount of love for your children, me and anyone else who is honoured to walk through your front door. Christan, you are an ace brother, full of so much cheek and love for your brother and family. Remember though, you don't always need to be strong and no one could ever understand what life must be like for you so if you need an ear you can ring me anytime too. I look forward to catching up with you all again real soon. Loads of love, Brooke xxx

Sammy-Joe,
Sorry I haven't signed your guestbook in a long time, but the computer wouldn't allow me to. Not sure why. I do check in on you daily. It will let sign Lily, Brooke, and Collin's but not yours. But now it is, so hopefully it will go through. Know that you are always in my heart, thoughts, and prayers.
Christian,
Congrats on your great basketball games. I know that Sammy-Joe, your Mom and Dad are very proud of you. I know I am.
Maria and Joe,
Don't ever let anyone ever criticize you on how you take care of Sammy-Joe. They just haven't "walked" in your shoes. Sammy-Joe and Christian are so lucky to have you as parents. I know that I am blessed to have you in my life (even if it is only through emails)

Hi Maria my name is Jennifer and I am a member of Angel_Wings. I read your update with sadness. People can be cruel and you are so right to feel they don't know your situation. I often tell people never say never when it comes to their kids. Every one handles life's stressors in different wys and who is anyone to say what is right and what is wrong. You are a strong wonderful and supportive mother. everyone from this group loves and respects you.Take care and give Sammyjoe a hug from me Jennifer

Hi Sammy-Joe and family! I am sitting here in tears after reading your updates. To think that someone would pass judgement on you Maria is just absurd! I think that you are a wonderful mum, and I know your boys would quickly agree with that. Please don't let stupid people upset you in any way. Sammy-Joe and Christian are very blessed to have both you and Joe as parents. You have had to fight for your children in so many ways, and you have done everything possible to protect them and see that they get everything that they need. I admire all of you so much. And Sammy-Joe, you are absolutely right, your mum truly is a super hero!
I'm praying for you Sammy-Joe, and for your family too.

First of all I'd like to say "great job" to Christian on his game! 20 points is awesome. I'm sorry to hear Sammyjoe
hasn't been "himself" lately. It's so frustrating when they can't tell us what's wrong (for them and us). I hope you can pinpoint it down to what may have changed his behavior. You're all in my thoughts and prayers.

Hello Sammy Jo~
How are you today? Sound like your brother had a great basketball game. My son Kyle (15) played in a basketball tournament today and they won 3rd place. Kyle is 6'2" and
really enjoys basketball.
Nikki has been working on her beads everyday. She has 3 more
orders to fill tomorrow. If you have time, besure to check out her new web page she made up today. it has some pretty neat bracelets on it.
http://www.jewelrybynikki.zoomshare.com
Is it still cold there??? Last time I talked with your mom she told me it was winter there and COLD! It has been nice here, as today it was about 80 degrees out and partly cloudy. We hope for nice weather tomorrow so maybe we can spend a little bit of time in the pool.
My husband went to an Auction today and bought another dump truck. He hopes to have the plow removed this week and ready to go to work with it the following week. He is pretty excited about it....We hope he wants to have it repainted, as the color of it is very greenish/yellow.......Looks like the color of our local firestations fire trucks!!
Well....it is 11:00pm here, and in another 9 hours I will be sitting in church....so off to bed!
Take care and we just wanted you to know that we are thinking about you today and everyday!

I taught special education for 22 years and my heros were always the parents, they are so dedicated and work so hard for their children. Know that I am praying for you and wrapping you in prayer.

To my beautiful family,
I read your journal entry and although I was sad I was so happy that Dad had the opportunity to write in the journal. Dad it was a super entry that pulled on every emotion. I am so proud of you. Mum, Dad, SJ and Christian, remember you are not alone ever. For I am always with you. Sammy Joe, how exciting to go back to school for a visit. I am sure you have put many smiles on many faces, including the nurses on 5 East and the clown doctors at the RCH. Dr Tickle and Dr Floss are my favourite clown doctors. You keep up your amazing attitude my Prince, and I will always be with you. All my love Brooke xxx

How's my Sammy Joe today? I've got some postcards ready to send out to you. I hope you like them. Nothing would make me or Bethany either one happier than to have you here to see the real thing. I hope you feel so good today and today is the day that your miracle comes. I keep praying for it, and I know God is listening.
Joe, What a honor to read your journal entry. I don't recall reading one from you before, you may have wrote it and I missed it. It was very heartbreaking but yet, it's good for you to talk about your feelings. Everyone on here loves your boy well, your whole family so much. We want to support you in anyway that we can. From the first moment that I emailed with Maria, we have had a bond, like we have been friends for many years. We have only spoken by phone once, but I treasure her and your whole family. You all are ALWAYS in my heart. Always!
I guess you are sleeping there now, or at least I pray you are getting rest. I hope you all awake to a beautiful and blessed day!
We love you all so much!

Hi there Sammy-Joe and family, lovely to see you on Tuesday with 'Andrew the blood doctor".
David, (Dr, Tickle) and myself had a great time hanging out with you both.
I am honored to have our photos on your website, I'll have to show my mum!!
It was great to read more about you. Often as Clown Docts we don't get to find out very much about what is happening for people or exactly what their condition is. Your story is very inspiring to read and your recent trip to USA sounds like an extremely positive experience. I hope you are able to fund a return journey in the near future.
I hope I see you next time you are in at RCH,
take care, rest and go well

Thanks for signing SKylie's guest book it really means a lot.Boy you sure have been through a lot.I am glad to hear that your labs went ok.I think its a great thing to have clown doctors.We have child family life that helps with Skylie but as soon as we hit the lab room she screams.I dont think I know anybody that wants to be admitted I just dread when we do have to be admitted to the hospital.I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers and I will continue to check up on you.

Hey Sammy Joe and Maria,
Sammy Joe you are definitley a super hero in my book! Maria you are too! I think you're a whole family of super heros...lol. Glad you had a good time playing with the Clown Doctors. They are pretty cool. We don't have them around here but I think they would be good to have around for all the kids who have a hard time with blood draws. It's kind of sad because I can tell the nurse if she's doing the blood draw wrong! I just got up a while ago...so I'm still tired. I hope Sammy Joe has a good day today and that you're all doing well.
Love you all!
Sami

Do you have a special name when you dress as a super hero? You're really a super hero all the time. It probably confuses the bad guys when you use the same name while dressed like an ordinary person.

Maria, thanks for your message and the pictures. I read Sammy-Joe's page every once in a while, and I guess I should really sign the guestbook more often. I'm doing ok, there have been some unfortunate events in the family in a short laps of time. School went well, and I loved my first year. Right now I'm doing an 8wk internship in my hometown.

Thank you for giving some information of this rare decease. I have a 8 years old doughter Emilia, who has the same kind of problems. We havent got the diagnose for her, becouse it`s so hard to be sure that it is this decease. Anyways it`s the only thing that the doctors have said ,that could explain all these difficulties that Emilia has. It`s very hard to find any information about it, so i am so delited that you keep these pages, so i can have even some information and can be repared for the future. Hugs for you all,

Dear Maria - It's interesting that today you signed my "baby's" guestbook - not sure how you found it. I have been following your and Sammy Joe's journey for at least the last six months. I have been amazed at the strength you have shown on your daily entries - you are an inspiration to all of us mom's dealing with our child fighting life-threatening illnesses. So now that we have connected across the miles, know that I have been praying for you and Sammy Joe and your family for many months and am certainly glad that you have joined our caringbridge "family" now also. Thanks for leaving a note on Christopher's site and I will continue to pray for all of you "down under".

Hi Sammy Joe and Family,
We're new to the caringbridge family. It's been wonderful to get to know so many new people. Our son Nic was recently dx with Ewings Sarcoma, a children's bone cancer. He is taking chemo right now and doing well. He has some really rough days but that is expected. We've read your journal and you are one awesome young guy. I admire your strength and determination. As a parent, it really hurts to see our children hurting and I've told Nic over and over I'd take it from him in a minute if I could. Through all this you guys will be strong people and have such a testimony to share. Please know you and your family will be in our prayers and we'll keep up with your journal. Take care and God bless,

Aleia and I are signing your guest book from the Hospital. She was admitted on Monday and will probably stay at least until Friday. She has had 2 seizures they caught on EEG video but are hoping to catch more. This will help them decide what medication to try next. She looks so cute with all the wires connected to her head. I also covered her wires with a Harley-Davidson wrap. She looks pretty tough for a seven year old.
I was brushing her teeth on Monday night and noticed she also lost a tooth. I figure it must be in the bed somewhere! OOPS! Hopefully she didn't swallow it! I guess if she did I might find it in a few days!
I showed Aleia your Wiggle Car. It is so cool. I don't think they have those in the USA. Aleia would love to have one. You are very lucky. I also read that you have a wonderful Big brother. You are very lucky! Sounds like he would do anything for you. What an honor that he dedicates his games to you and sets up the train track. Aleia has 3 big brothers and 1 big sister. They let her snuggle with them and she pulls their hair and plays with their toys. They are good to her too.
We hope you start getting more strengh soon. We will keep you in our thoughts and prays. Sending you our love and hugs from the United States.

They sure look snuggly and warm. I live in the United States and it is going to be really super hot here today...I forget that it is winter where you live.

Hi Sammy-Joe
Yesterday Mrs. Guthrie (the other Preschool teacher)
and I went shopping to buy fabric. I am the Owl for
Vacation Bible School, and we are going to make my
costume this morning. Well, we saw the CUTEST
Thomas Christmas fabric. So we decided that our
December theme would be Christmas with Thomas.
We bought two Thomas Christmas Tree Skirts, which
we will use in the middle of our two round tables. This
year the Preschoolers really loved the big Thomas puzzle.
We have a BIG (about 20 feet long) Mural Bulletin Board
that will be super for making Thomas. It will be fun thinking
of new things to make, too.
I hope you and Christian feel better real soon!!!!
prayers and love from the usa...

Hello Sammy Joe,
It has been too long since my last visit! But I want you to know that you are in our prayers everyday. I understand what your Mommy says about being so innocent and pure. I feel the same way about my daughter, and it does not seem fair too me either sometimes but I try to remember that God has a plan for us all. Even though we do not understand things, we must trust in God.
Have a nice day!

Hey my Prince and adorable family,
Its Brooke here. I am so honoured and so privledged to have developed the wonderful friendship that we have. When I opened up your webpage today and herd the music in the background a tear fell from my eye because I think we would stop and give you all whatever you need if it meant that you didn't have to live everyday the way you are. I know you make the most of every situation, SJ you have so much clarity that others just stand on the side line and wish to have the clarity you have. Personally, I hear you smile, I smile too. When I hear your crying, I am silenting crying too. Whilst your frustrated, I am frustrated for you too so just remember no matter where I am, what I am doing I have blown you a kiss in the morning and only wish you love, health and happiness always. We are together forever, Brooke xxx

I hope that over the last few weeks I have been a support to you just like you are to me everyday. Did you want to know a secret?

I know that it will be such a change because we all get pleasure out of eating. If this can finally keep him nourished though it will be a blessing for his body. Praying that you soon can be home and together again. I know Sammy Joe will love having his own room back and his family surrounding him.

Sammy Joe,
I wish I could be there tonight to give you a big hug and tell you in person that I love you. You have always been so special to me and to my mom, and we do love you so much. We have really been praying for you at church and at home, and I promise I will keep praying for you until you are back at home and doing well.
I hope by the time you are able to have your mom read this to you that are feeling some better.
I still pray so hard that one day me and you will get to play in DisneyWorld after the sun has gone down. That would be my biggest wish in the world. I know God is such an awesome God, and bigger than any wish I have. I pray every day that ONE DAY will be OUR DAY to play together at Disney World.
I'm going to have my mom let me send you a card on Monday so be on the lookout for it. Mom is supposed to be calling you sometime this weekend. I hope you are feeling up to having a phone call.
My mom says to send her love tonight too. We are both happy to hear everything went ok.
Good night my sweet friend. I'm sending you lots of love and hugs through the internet!
My love and prayers are with you and your mom, dad and your brother Christian tonight! Me and my mom wish we could be there so badly!

Maria,
We're here praying today for the surgery. It is 8:00am here in the states, so I'm assuming the surgery is over and we are praying everything was successful. I'm going to try to call you if I don't hear anything on here soon.
We love you all so much and are praying that things will be better soon.
Love in Christ,

Maria, i thought I'd post it here, this is the response from emailing Pastor Benny Hinn about Sammy joe and asking for prayer:
Dear Friend,
The Lord our God is mighty in battle! He has made a way of redemption and healing for us all through the sacrifice of his One and only Son Jesus! Through that sacrifice we can boldly approach the throne of grace with expectation of our prayers being answered with a resounding "Yes and Amen"!
Thank you for sending your prayer request over the Internet. Every request for prayer that we receive is prayed for many times; by our staff, prayer partners and Pastor Benny himself on the set of our daily program, "This Is Your Day!" By contacting the ministry you have already released your faith. We are trusting and believing God for a complete healing.
"Now thanks be unto God, which ALWAYS causeth us to triumph in Christ....."
~II Corinthians 2:14 ~
What a wonderful promise we can always triumph with Christ. The Bible says in Isaiah 65:24, that even before we call on the Lord He hears us! God desires for us to pray because He longs to meet and talk with us. We can be encouraged of this and believe the promises found in Psalm 34:17 which says,"The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles."
We are agreeing with you in prayer, believing God for a miracle. Jesus is able to heal and renew. Nothing is impossible when you put your trust in Him. Remember, "...Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts" (Zechariah 4:6).
In His service,
Benny Hinn Ministries
I know exactly how frustrating it is! I am going through it now although it is not as bad as when i first suffered my stroke, when i got the PEG tube put in everyone around me coudldnt belive my love for cooking shows! I just kept on watching them one after another and saying mum when I start eating again I want you to cook me that, it was mostly the Sweet things! Keep positive you never know what is to happen, it took 4 months for me and it all when back to normal and I was told that it will never come back. Northing is impossible with God. Sammy Joes spirit is amazing. You are amazing to be with him day after day, the love of a mother is like no other. We are soldiers of God and how i told you on Monday....I Salute you!
God Bless you,
Daniel and mum

Hi Sammy-Joe! I'm so sorry that you're still not feeling better. We are praying for you everyday. We mailed a letter to you today, so hopefully you will get it soon. Natalie drew a cute picture of Dorothy the Dinosaur for you. She knows how much you like Dorothy. Lily told me today that she wanted to go the hospital to see you. She was quite put out with me when I told her that you lived a long ways away from here and that we couldn't go see you. I wish we lived closer so that our "get well" wishes could be in person. We love you and hope you feel better soon!

Maybe we can come visit you at the hospital that's if it's ok. We don't live far from each other so it is no trouble to come cheer you up. I send you lots of my strength and courage to pull you through this rough time and lots of big hugs from you Aussie friend Jay.

There will come a time when our houses will be spotless ..... until that day, enjoy your time with Sammy Joe ! I'm praying that you stress will be little and your joys will be huge ! Sammy Joe will have the best of memories ... that's what matters most ! Have a wonderful day my friend.

Sorry so many days are going by between my entries. We are nearing the end of our school year. It seems like every day I have a meeting or activity at night. I teach sewing so am trying to get all the students to finish projects. Maria, I truly understand your feeling about getting the housework done. I also know it will wait and if your friends come to see what you house looks like rather than to just visit.....well maybe they are not true friends. It is more important to treasure the wonderful time with Sammy Joe than to dust and mop. Maybe on a day that he feels well you could do it like a game and he could help you do some dusting or help with dishes. Know that I am thinking of all of you.

Hi Sammy-Joe!! I'm so glad to hear that you were able to spend lots of time with your mom today. I know that you both enjoyed it very much. (((Maria))) you are a wonderful mother. Don't worry about the housework. I know that's easier said than done, though. I'm sorry that you've been having such a tough time lately. Anytime that you feel down, just know that you have many friends around the world who are praying for you and your family. I hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day!
Love,

Hi guys!!
How you doing Sammy Joe?? Not too well I hear?? Glad that you had a great day spending some 'proper' time with your mum!!
Maria, if you go to health food/vitamin stores, you should be able to find protein/nutritional supplements...
The only downside is that they are expensive as... and that usually you need about 3-4 servings a day (they are 5 kilo tubs roughly around $100 a pop if I remember rightly) depending on what you want to achieve.
What I can suggest is that when you vitamise everything (smoothies and other sweet stuff) add some of the nutritional supplement to it.... that way it will last longer and also add to the smoothie/milkshake etc... (Dont know if Sammy-jo likes them though)
Otherwise Im thinking it may just be that you may need to powder the vitamin supplements that you can get from the supermarkets??
Good luck with it all. Thinking of you all.

Maria, I am so sorry to hear that Sammy Jo has not been feeling well. I know that has to take such a toll on you. You must take care of yourself so you can be there for your family. If you need rest, take it and have someone watch Sammy Jo for the afternoon. Take each day one step at a time. I will be praying for you to get answers for both your health and for Sammy Jo. Sorry I have not stopped by as often this week. The end of the school year is extremely busy. God Bless.

Hello Maria,
I am saddened to hear that Sammy-Joe is having a real tough time and I know that it can be very hard on you. I think the doctor sounds like he is very caring about both you and Sammy-Joe. I hope things can be worked out and you put your finger on whatever is bothering Sammy-Joe...and get some rest yourself...but I know that is so hard. I love you and am praying for you.
Love you,

Hi Sammy Joe and my beautiful friend Maria,
Sorry things are tough. Bethany wanted me to send the words of this song to you. It's by Mercy Me. It has really meant a lot to her. Hope to talk soon!
Hold Fast
To everyone who’s hurting to
Those who’ve had enough
To all the undeserving
That should cover all of us
Please do not let go
I promise there is hope
Hold Fast Help is on the way
Hold Fast He’s come to save the day
What I’ve learned in my life
One thing greater than my strife
Is His grasp, So Hold Fast
Will this season ever pass
Can we stop this ride
Will we see the sun at last
Or could this be our lot in life
Please do not let go
I promise you there’s hope
Hold Fast Help is on the way
Hold Fast He’s come to save the day
What I’ve learned in my life
One thing greater than my strife
Is His grasp, So Hold Fast
You may think you’re all alone
And there’s no way that anyone could know
What you’re going through
But if you only hear one thing
Just understand that we are all the same
Searching for the truth
The truth of what we’re soon to face
Unless someone comes to take our place
Is there anyone
All we want is to be free
Free from our captivity Lord
Here He comes
Hold Fast Help is on the way
Hold Fast He’s come to save the day
What I’ve learned in my life
One thing greater than my strife
Is His grasp, So Hold Fast

Hi my beautiful prince and adorable adopted family,
How are you? I hope this finds you well, happy and rested. You know every night before I go to bed I make a wish that you are happy and well. I know I spoke to you yesterday Mum, but just remember that you have a smile like a candel that never wavers, your laugh is infectious, your positive thoughts are courageous and even in those moments that you feel like "hanging up your boots" - you can't, you have come so far next year we have an 18th Birthday to celebrate don't we? (My princes') Please feel stronger knowing that you have me with you every second of every day.
Talk later today,
Love your "adopted" daughter, Brooke

You can and will overcome, remember, you have been through much worse and still come through to sunshine!

But keep yourself spiritually and mentally strong,with our support. Sending you a big (((hug))) and love to Sammy Joe, as always.

that quilt is so beautiful!
I like to sew, but I can not make a nice quilt.
I've tried. We've made patchwork quilts
and pillows in Preschool. Halloween patchworks
are the best because it doesn't matter if the patches
don't quite match up because it's okay for Halloween
to look a little spooky.

Maria, I am sorry to hear that some people are giving
you a hard time. I guess all we can really do is pray
for those people's hearts to be softened. I hope Sammy-Joe
starts feeling better so the trip to the USA will not
be hard for him. Where will you be going? I hope
that the doctors will have some answers for you. I know
it gets so frustrating for you not knowing what is
wrong and how to help. It often falls on the mom to
be the strong one. I guess that is why the MOM is
called the heart of the family. Just remember to get
your strength from the Lord and he will make things
easier for you. "Come to me, all you who are weary
and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke
upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble
in heart, and you will find rest for your souls, For
my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Matt. 11:28-30
Give Sammy Joe a big hug and kiss from his Auntie Lisa
Love always!

Maria,
Don't beat yourself up for feeling the way that you do. You are allowed to feel the feelings that you are currently feeling. It's ok! You are an amazing woman, and even more amazing mother. It is beyond my thoughts how you do all that you do, and still have time to be a wife as well. You just hang in there. God WILL get you through this difficult time. You have to turn to Him, and not pick the situation back up and try to solve it al by yourself, all on your own again. I admire you so much. You are so totally dedicated to being a mother, 24-7 and under so much stress, and complications. But, you do it, and do a tremendous job at being a mother.
We love you all very much! Take Care, and i will talk to you soon!

What matters in our lives are our families, friends, our faith.....our relationships. I am praying that you feel better. I know it is hard to take care of ourselves when we are a parent, but remember Sammy Joe needs you healthy. You may feel like you are walking on your journey alone.

There will always be those people who walk away or don't
understand. I'm not sure yet if all of us affected with
disorders will "get over" what happens to us or not. I hope we
are not "haunted" with things and we can completely over come
what we've seen and heard.
You are not alone. I'm dealing with "non-understanding"
people. Even people who are sick also. I'm sure we all do.
You're doing a wonderful job...

Sammy Joe I am so sorry that you are not feeling well. Rest and let the medicine work to fight the bug. Christian, you are truly a gift from God for your mom. You sound like you are so helpful and caring. You have such a loving bond with your brother and nothing will ever change that. Perhaps in your future you will have a career where you can reach out to others and help educate people about those with medical challenges.
Sorry the tests had to be put off. You are in God's hands and things will work out in His time. Hugs to all of you.

Christian, wow, good job in your game. My oldest son played basketball in middle school and high school. College games are on TV now for what we call March Madness, to pick the top college team. I am glad you enjoyed your break. We did not have one at our school so I have to admit, I was envious of you.
Sammy Joe, hope you soon feel better. I went to the website you mom had for your school and I took the virtual tour. It is a wonderful school. I know your teachers are missing you. Hope you feel better soon. Hugs to all of you.

Hi Sammy-Joe
I'm on spring vacation now.
Yesterday the leader drew the
last three tags for our
Pen Pals Prayer tree. So,
we said a special prayer for you and
our other friends in California, Australia,

Maria, I have 2 verses that I wanted to share with you after reading about peace of mind.
"The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace." Psalm 29:11
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" Philippians 4:6-7
I tend to be a worrier myself, but know that God is with you, on days when things are smooth and on days when it seems like a storm is in your heart....God is there and He won't leave you. Thinking and praying for you and your family.

Sammy-Joe,
First of all let me apologize for not signing your book in awhile. The first of the Month, we made a "road trip" to Texas to see our family. Seeing Lily and Natalie was wonderful. As was seeing the rest of the family too. Since we returned home, I have been sick. I do check in on you all the time, but I just haven't taken the time to sign in. Know that you are always in my heart, thoughts and prayers. Give Mom, Dad, and Christian a great big hug from me.
Sending you bunches of hugs and love from South Carolina,
Lily and Natalie's Aunt Kim

I am taking a cake decorating class....sure wish I could stop over and bring you a cake to eat. Glad your friends have been there for you. God will provide a support system for you.

Maria and family, Being a messenger is always difficult. In the Old and New Testament, people were often excluded and not listened to when they had important news to share. You are a messenger about Sammy Joe and his condition. Not all will listen, but the message needs to be shared. I am sorry that family members are not there to support you more through your journey. I realize I don't know your family, but you have touched my heart with your journals. I am sure you would like to do the outings like others, but it is not meant to be at this time. Do you have someone to provide respite care with Sammy Joe so you can go out with Joe and Christian? I know in our community there are a few people willing to come to homes to give parents a chance to go out. Stay strong and continue to support one another. The Prayer Bears are here for you.

I am so relieved that you were able to deal with the chocking. I know how something like that can shake us up. I had to do the Heimlich on a teenager at a camp several years ago. God has truly blessed you with special sons. Christian sounds like such a supportive young man not only with you, but with Sammy Joe. You are blessed. Sammy Joe, I went to Billings today to go shopping. It is 120 miles away. Yes, I have to drive that far to get to a city. I went to the movie Curious George with my 5 year old granddaughter for a special treat. It was a fun movie and of course I had to have theater popcorn! Know that I am here praying for your family. I don't have answers, but I have prayers to the great and powerful God who loves you all so dearly.

I am saddened to read you choked on an onion and Mum, your georgeous and I am upset to know you are unwell at the moment. I send you hugs everyday and blow you all a kiss before I go to sleep so just hang in there and remember your such a strong source for me I'm so lucky you're in my life. Talk soon xxx

I check on you guys occasionally.
My friend applied me to Children's Wishs. I'm getting my room made over. Its not excessible. This orgainzation goes world wide. Theirs even a kid who's going to New Zealand. I know that trip costs a lot of money. Maybe they could help with an indoor playground! I'd refer Sammy Joe, but I don't know him well enough at all. Please try it out. ;) Heres to IT!!!
I'll pray they can do it, they would help SO much. More than I'm sure I can imagine. I hope today was a little bit easier.

It sure was good to see you outside. We will continue to pray for the indoor playground. Can't wait until you come to the US. Bethany is still praying about meeting at night at Disney World. We'll have to see what kind of plans God has for us to mee though. He will make it all work out if it is His will!
We miss you guys so much! maria, call me or write me, whatever is the easiest. I know how much you have going on all the time now. I miss you!!!!!

Sammy-Joe, I just love your smile!!! I know it was hard on you to be out for too long, but the look on your face at the time is absolutely priceless. I wish I had a magic wand to wave it and build you an indoor playground that you could run and jump and climb in. Until then I'll have to keep wishing on stars. Do you think the stars you see at night are the same ones that we see?? That's one of my favourite things to do in the summer, to lay on the ground and look up at the stars and see all the constellations.

Please don't give up on your dream! I know you never will, but please try to answer to whatever doubts you have.
I do not have what your son does. But I can tell you one thing, I am undiagnosed. You know exactly what that is like. So very many questions go unanswered. I lay in bed and wander if I am the only one with it or has this been going on for centuries. Why does my body do that? Its endless. I pray that there is someone out there on the internet that I will someday find. Either way, it can't be very well known. If someone somehow could tell me, "There is a person out there trying very hard to make awareness for your disorder." That would be of some great relief. No, not for me. But for someone out there asking the same question of what Sammy Joe has. KEEP GOING! For the awareness of just one disorder, thank you.... really.
A goal...

Maria, You are a woman of vision and strength. Go forward, step by step. Education is so important and with education others will join in. Have hope and believe that the right person has just not heard the message yet. When I read the journals that you and other moms and dads write I am so amazed at the strength and fortitude that the parents have. Have you ever considered writing articles for a magazine about Sammy Joes journey. Don't ever give up. You are being surrounded by prayers from the Prayer Bears.

Maria, Just wanted to say thanks for visiting our website! Your son is so handsome! I understand your frustration about raising awareness on behalf of your son and those with his same illness. I hope and pray that you soon find the support you have been looking for. Please know that we will pray for you and your child as will many others here in the U.S. I did see a show recently "Extreme Makeover Home Edition" a show that we have here (I'm sure you have the same show there) and a child had the same disease that your son has. The team came in and completely restored the home environment including the outside so that the little girl could even go outside in the new family swimming pool they built. You should check it out and see if any of their resources would be beneficial to you! Take care for now and know that we are praying for you!! Andrea

Sammy Joe,
I'm so sorry that we forgot your birthday! No reason could ever be good enough, but it was an honest mistake. We've been having a rough time of it here, but i promise you honey, not a week goes by that I don't think of you. I have your some things here to mail you for Valentine's Day if that tells you how behind I am. Bethany still prays all the time for you and her to get to meet at Disney World and to play after the sun goes down. Maybe one day God will answer that prayer. Maybe things will work out for us to meet while you are in the US this summer.
Maria, It was so good to hear from you. I think of you all so much. I feel so much love for your whole family. We think of you, Sammy Joe, Christian, Joe. We truly feel you are an important part of our lives. I"m so sorry that we didn't stop by to wish Sammy Joe Birthday Wishes. Gregg is really bad right now, on top of Bethany being bad, and i had to have emergency surgery last week I think it was, so it's been REALLY hectic. But you all are always in our hearts, thoughts and prayers. i'd love to talk to you again soon!
Take Care
Oh, Sammy Joe, We loved your birthday pictures. And Bethany LOVED the picture of Christian when he was wrestling around with his dad. He has such a beautiful smile.
Sure hope every one is feeling great tomorrow!
Love you all so much!

We personally know that with a child of ours that has serious heart complications, and also with recently losing a child. I am sorry for this path through the life journey you are taking, and do know too that God will never leave your side.

Maria, I just stopped by before I headed to bed (11p.m.) and saw that you were headed to the doctor. I will keep you and Sammy Joe in my prayers tonight. I do understand, although I have not walked your path, about parenting a special child. I mentioned that I taught special education for 20 years. I loved working with the parents and students. Many parents are just able to take their day for granted. They don't have to worry about medication, travel needs, food allergies, feeding tubes, changing diapers.....Parents of special children would not trade their experience for the world, but I know it is also very stressful. I think sometimes people just don't know what to say, so they say or do nothing. I believe education is the key, so many are just unaware of some of the challenges many people have. I have only followed your site for a short time, but I will be here to support and pray for your family. Surrounding you with prayers.

We went to see Eight Below on Sunday. It is a Disney movie about 8 dogs in Antarctica. I was confused because they were talking about winter but it was June. My mom was explaining that where you live it is summer now. Is it really? It is winter here even though it hasn't been a bad one. I find that weird and hard to believe that it is summer for you. Kinda neat too.

Hi Maria,
Things are winding down here a bit for the evening, so I thought I'd take a few minutes to check in on you. Good thing we're not meeting in my kitchen right now--it is a bit of a disaster. I have charged my boys with the task of straightening it up. That sometimes is a bigger effort than just cleaning it myself, but alas, they need to be part of keeping things orderly around here.
That is great news about Christian's basketball. He is definitely a high scorer for the team--claiming half the points on the board! My youngest son, Kevin, is 12 and his basketball season finished last Saturday. His team went undefeated, which was pretty cool. Kev is a good athlete all round, but soccer is his true passion. We've been on a little break from soccer, but practices resume tomorrow. He has a band concert though (trumpet). School events always come before sports, so he'll be playing horn not ball tomorrow. I have a 14-year-old son, Bryan, also. He too plays trumpet, but abhors anything that has even slightly anything to do with sports. That's not entirely true, he loves skiing, water and snow, and likes to ride his bike, so I guess he's just not into team sports. (Well, football can be tollerated, since the marching band plays at the games, but even that isn't great, the football that is.) Bryan is into computers and into fixing things, tinkering kind of stuff in the garage. He and his best friend like to do things like take a regular footpowered scooter apart and rig it up with a weedeater motor to make it go. For over a year, Ethan, Bryan's best friend, lived with us. His folks were having some difficult times and he needed a place he could call "home." He would go to his mom's house some, but pretty much lived with us. This December, just before Christmas, Ethan's dad decided that he needed to make some life changes to provide better for his son, to give him the family he hadn't been giving him. Part of making this happened, meant that they bought a new house in a town about 45 minutes from here--different school district. I had prayed for a long time about Ethan's situation and just knew that the Lord had answered my prayers by adding him to our family. I know now that we were a temporary safe haven for him while his mom and dad got things together. My heart still aches for him sometimes. The night he officially "moved out" I just cried and cried. He has been down a few weekends to see us, but I miss his everyday part in my life. He still calls me on the phone for help with English homework and sometimes calls to just say that he misses me. So, the reason I'm telling you the whole Ethan story is that I really feel as if I have 3 boys, even though biologically I only have two. I continue to pray for my Ethan as if he were my own and I know that God is watching over him and I praise God that his parents are making a good go at providing a stable home for him.
I am a rehabilitation teacher for the blind and also have worked as a preschool teacher and as a special ed teacher. My husband, Sean, is a professor at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in the computer science department. He's not tooooo terribly nerdy for a computer guy though. :)
So, there's a little bit about us. If we're going to be sharing these kitchen table chats, I figure you aught to know a little bit about me and my family. I'll of course share more as our relationship grows, but there's just a quick, okay, not so quick, overview.
I will be praying for Sammy-Jo toonight and tomorrow. I hope that you all have a great Monday. I've got to figure out this time difference thing and an understanding of the season difference b/t the US and Australia. I also have to look up how to spell Australia, 'cause that doesn't look quite right. We are in our winter here and it is really, really cold. Snow Friday, but that's actually rare for where we are. I grew up in Pennsylvania, so I miss the snow from there and always turn into a kid when we get it here.
I'll be back soon. Hugs to you and all your guys!
Oh, and for the record, the dishwasher was loaded, but not run, the table was wiped off but not the counters, and I think someone may have actually taken the trash out. Not bad, huh? I'm off to prompt a little more kitchen effort. Have a super night, or day, whatever you're having while I'm having my night. I'll do my best to catch you again tomorrow.
Eyes on Him,

Psalm 20 (NRSV)
The LORD answer you in the day of trouble!
The name of the God of Jacob protect you!
May he send you help from the sanctuary,
and give you support from Zion.
May he remember all your offerings,
and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices.
May he grant you your heart's desire,
and fulfill all your plans.
May we shout for joy over your victory,
and in the name of our God set up our banners.
May the LORD fulfill all your petitions.
Now I know that the LORD will help his anointed;
he will answer him from his holy heaven
with mighty victories by his right hand.
Some take pride in chariots, and some in horses,
but our pride is in the name of the LORD our God.
They will collapse and fall,
but we shall rise and stand upright.
Give victory to the king, O LORD;
answer us when we call.

Maria,
I am very sorry that you had such a bad day today. I found your site through Angel-Wings and must say that my heart really aches for you. I am amazed at your strength and the determination you have shown for such a long time to bring quality of life to your dear son. I hate that you are feeling isolated and alone. I will pray that God will bring you some special company this weekend, someone to lift your spirits and to give you a little change of pace. I will also be praying that Sammy-Jo will get some relief from his discomfort. I will be back often. I may not be able to sit at your kitchen table, but I can become a good computer friend. I will be thinking of and praying for all of you.
Love,
Lis Geoghegan <liveinspirit@aol.com>

Hiya Sammy Joe,
Congratulations on getting in to school so much! How cool is that - you really should be proud. Hope you are feeling good today :-)
Maria - lots of people worth knowing are all out here, busy 'rooting for you' you know!!!! Maybe not quite the same as face to face contact (difficult from Blighty!!) but just as powerful and supportive.
Keep strong and be positive - but remember, you ARE allowed low /fed up / downright sh***Y days as well now and again. I really admire you for your 16 years of hard labour. Just remember you aren't alone!
We are all out here.......

Hi Maria,
I am happy to hear that Sammy Joe was able to return to
school today.I know what you mean honey it does sometimes feel as if people don't have or don't take time for each other as they should i think we sometimes get so caught up
in our own lives that we have very little time left for other things but please know that i love you very very much
and i treasure you as a person and a dear,dear friend and i
will make a point of telling you and others just how important they are to me and to my life..Ever day is
precious and we never know when that last good bye could be just that.Thank you my friend for all that you do not just
for your family but for your friends as well.May our Lord
always watch over each footstep you take.

I am so very proud of you all and please don't think today is the first day I have thought of you in a while cause its not, I think about you all, all the time.
Sammy Joe I am so very proud of you, going to school and going to school on a bus! I hope you went to school yesterday and I hope you had fun as that is what life is all about.
Christian I can't believe you are now in highschool, I am so very proud of you too and remember if you ever need assistance with your school work to give me a call. I hope you have made some nice friends and the school isn't too daunting. Remember to have fun!
Well, Mum and Dad, you have done so so very well in some trying circumstaces. This week is a real achievement and I hope you now find a little time for you. Even though house work is important remember to stop, take a break and spend a little time pampering you! You are gorgeous people!
I will call you later today.

Hello Sammy-Joe & Maria,
Just called in to say Hi to you all, glad you have not been having our weather; each day for the past week we have been experiencing temperatures in the forties - today it was 42, and tomorrow they are predicting it to be hotter. Maria, we all admire you so much, no matter what you do there will always be someone to criticise you, either through ignorance or jealousy, to me they are just negative people, I know how hurtful it is, but just remember there are more positive people that care and admire you, try and think about the positive ones - not the negative ones, they are a waste of good thinking time.
Regards to all,
Phyll

Dear Maria,
I cried reading your 24th January entry, "the hardest things in life is to be an open book about your life, asking for help and telling someone you love them" This is so true and I feel the same way you do. I have had my share of hurtful things said to me also and like you say, they are just ignorant people. I dislike our family constantly in the public eye, but if that's the price of my son getting his treatment, then that's what we must do. I would swap being in the media, for my son's cancer to be gone in a heartbeat. Not only is Dylan also reliant on donations for his treatment, but I believe this has happened to our family so that we can create more awareness to pediatric cancer, the same as Sammy Joe is making awareness for Trichothiodystrophy. Keep up the good work Maria, your amazing my friend.
Love & Hope

I have not left a message for ages but I constantly think about you. I wodner how you are going. I understand how you feel about creating awareness. Alan and myself are trying to create awareness about Fanconi Anaemia in South Australia and sometimes it feels like no one wants to participate...don't see the importance like we do and say something that ends up being hurtful. God bless you Maria...share your feelings and make people aware.

Hi Sammy-Joe! I'm glad you finally got some cooler weather! (((Maria))) You were so right about many of us complaining about trivial things, when others have real problems. Everytime I start to complain about a "bad hair day", I think about my little Lily and all the others around the world who truly have hair troubles, and it reminds me that I need to stop complaining. You're right, too, about there always being someone else out there who has it worse. You are a wonderful mother and I hope you realize that.

hi Sammy-Joe
I'm sitting here smiling thinking about
your dancing in the rain. I hope that
happens soon. There's an old, old movie
called Singing in the Rain, and of course, they
are also dancing while they are singing.
We have a large outdoors theatre in St. Louis.
(I think it might be the largest in the USA). A
couple of years ago they did "Singing in the Rain"
and they had lots of "rain" on the stage while they
danced. I was worried that the dancers would slip,'
but they didn't even when they were jumping in the
puddles. It was very cute.
We had two very hot days last week for January, too.
This is our winter, so it wasn't as hot as you seem to be.
prayers and love from Missouri

Hey Sammy Joe - toy mountain OR WHAT!!!!!!!!!! You have quite a stash there! Bet you had fun rediscovering them all again.
Maria - I only wish I could come and help you out. Do get out somehow to get your hair cut - it makes such a difference. Make a fuss!!! (But I know that's not your style) Seriously - you must be allowed to be selfish sometimes, you work so darn hard.
Sending love to you both from England.

Sammy Joe and family,
Hope you are feeling wonderful today, and feeling all the love that everyone feels for you.
We are praying that when you come to the US, that our family and your family are able to get together and meet. Bethany still prays to get her wish of you and her getting to go to Disneyworld together and play after the sun goes down.
We love you all so much!

Hi Sammy-Joe
You look great in your Wiggles car.
I liked seeing Big Bird in there.
We are doing Sesame Street in school
this month and the kids made great big
Big Birds out of construction paper. They
also made super Grover and painted
Elmo...it all looks so cute.
Prayers and love from Missouri

Good morning my truley precious and rare diamonds, how are you? I hope this finds you feeling better and happy. I am saddened to read your journal entry about the nasty people who sent you the horrible email. They obviously ain't worth knowing. People, like me who know you, know only too well what a brave, courageous, helpful, kind, fun person you are. Unfortunately, its sad that there are people in this world that exsist, that write horrible things but those who know you, know the truth. Good on you for deleting the email. Talk to you later today after my breakfast date with Wayne.
Lots of love, Brooke xoxoxo

How are you? I hope this finds you well and happy. My prince, Sammy Joe I want you to remember that in the darkest days, the longest hours and the scariest nights you are never alone for you always will have a little part of me. You and I help each other fight our conditions, remember in the stormy of storms to remain strong for you are never alone... to many people, including I (You number one fan)loves you so very much.
Mum, Dad and Christian, you too never walk alone for I am always with you. We, family, will always be together forever. Talking to you daily is apart of my daily ritual and when we don't speak I feel empty. Messaging you good night is another ritual I have grown to love. Your never ending spirit, courage, bravery and humour is with me every day and I now you are only a phone call away. Loving you isn't enough however I do love you all very very much. I adore our friendship and love for each other - hope to see you soon.

Circumstances like these do change us and you make the choice as to whether you make the most of it and enjoy every moment or wallow in self pity - Maria, you can do no wrong when you speak from the heart. Every week I'm finding that this Caring Bridge Family is even more amazing and that we all have the motivation to support each other. Will drop by as often as I can. Have a fabulous week!

Maria,
Thank you for visiting our CB page and signing our guestbook! It's neat to know someone from "Down Under" knows about us. I've always been intrigued by Australia, and would love to go there one day. We enjoy Hillsong's/Darlene Zschech's music. Are you familiar with it? I believe it's from a church in Sydney. I will also pray for your son Sammy-Joe. Recently we saw the TV show "Extreme Home Makeover" when kids with Trichothiodystrophy(I think it was the same disease) got to go to Disneyland at night. Did you see it? Just reading a little of your page is such an inspiration! I'll be back...
Happy New Year,

Hi Marie,
Thanks for stopping by Jesse's web site. I have enjoyed reading through your journal about Sammy Joe and your life. It is much like ours here. :-) Just a different disease causing the same kinds of problems in general. But God has kept our marriage going, even though there have been tough times. (27 years this year) We have one older married son and then Jesse. What a joy he is, yet a challenge at the same time! Stay strong and hang in there. God does have a greater plan! We just can't always see it exactly when we want to.
Lots of hugs to you and your family, and many prayers too!
Love,

Hello my special friend and hello to Joe,
Christian and Sammy-Joe,
I have just caught up on your journal and once again I am full of inspiration. You are an amazing person and I luve you with all my heart.
Hope you all enjoyed Christmas. I truely agree with you in that christmas is becoming very materilistic and has lost some of its meaning. for me christmas isn't the same anymore and I am struggling to discover why. I feel as though it is a day that comes and goes and then what.....I don't know. Sammy-Joe and Christian look beautiful in the photos opening their presents. I did hope to catch up with you before Christmas, but where does time go. One day just blends in with the next and the next and so on.
I was so happy to hear that Daniel came through his surgery. How is he at the moment?
How are you all coping with this heat. It's quite overbearing and I can't wait for a change just so the kids can go outside in the fresh air.
Anyway I wish you all a wonderful evening on this New Year's Eve 2005 and pray for you all that 2006 brings you all love, happiness, good health, success and many memorable moments with which to reflect.
Love to you all and hoping to catch up soon.

Hey people come and go in and out of our lives all the time (yes they do live very different lives) they just don't always understand what we go through and have to go through (but hey mate) don't let them worry you - you get on with your life, that is what I do, always have a smile on your face (I do) and forget about what people think or say. You dont need my strength-courage-determination-hope and inspiration because you have more than I do. Your mate JAY

Hi Liistros!
I am wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a very blessed New Year! I know how you feel..but please remember that everything happens for a reason. God does not always make changes in the most conveinient way, but it happens the way he wants it to. Our Creator never said this life would be easy, that's for sure. I remember that every day. I am praying for you, Sammy Joe, and your entire family.

Don't worry about Christmas shopping! I'm sure everyone will understand. You've been through so much lately! You need to take care of yourself and recover! Don't push yourself too hard! The surgery was bad enough but then having the infection...you've gotta take it easy! Christmas isn't about presents anyway! It's about our our Savior's birth!

Cape Coral, FL USA - Saturday, December 17, 2005 9:03 AM CST
To an amazing family,
It doesn't seem fair or justice to call you all amazing or outstanding because their isn't a word to describe you all. I couldn't even begin to imagine what its like for you all and you all know that if I could use a magic wand and fix everything I would, but I can't. So I want to pass on to you, what a very dear friend said to me one time. I know you will be able to relate to this:
Setting: In a hospital room talking about living life to the full and living with conditions.
I remember this dear friend who I will always hold close to my heart said to me, "we as humans are so wrapped up n career, in family, in having money, having a car - we as humans are involved in lots of little acts to keep going. So we never get a chance to stand back and ask ourselves questions about our conditions". Just think about that!
I believe many people walk around with meaningless lifes. They seem half asleep, even when they are busy doing things they think are important however this is because they are chasing the wrong things in life. You have not only told me but shown me your goals and dreams... I often stop and think back to when I first met Sammy Joe, he has come so far, you have all come so far because you have all taught me that CLARITY in life that so many spend their whole lives searching for.
Mum, Dad and my two adorable bros, Sammy Joe and Christian, I am honoured and priviledge to have you as an adopted family in my life and I count my lucky stars every night that I am able to share your special lifes with you.
Lots of love, Brooke xxxx

Hi my beautiful family,
I hope this finds you getting better and feeling on top of the world. Can you believe it? It almost 11pm, I am usually asleep however now I am on work holidays my body doesn't want to shut down... its a crazy thing! Oh well, I thought instead of writing your journal tonight (lol) I would leave you a guestbook entry instead. Sammy Joe, you would have been in fits of laughter at me tonight... I attempted to ride a horse, a very funny experience! Well, I hope you are all resting and taking it easy as you all need as much rest as possible. I am going to go outside now and wish upon a star that next year we have a fab year with our health.
Love you all so very much and proud of each one of you
See you all in my dreams,
Lots of love Brooke xxx

Lol I thought Sammy-Jo was always cheeky... I still remember him laughing his head off while trying to get his Bert & Ernie Balloon down from the ceiling when he was in hospital, cause I had to stand on a chair - he thought it was hilarious.....Cheeky bugger...
Glad to hear that you are getting better Maria and Brooke, you're doing a great job!
Christmas is nearly here !! I get back from Perth that afternoon having been there for a week, so Dan had better be happy to see me!!

What an amazing journal entry. Sammy Joe you are everything, I know you light up so many peoples worlds, you definately light up my world. To me your a shooting star and I can already say that when we are stars together in the sky, your going to be a shooting star. Shooting stars go through our world briefly, but when we seem them everyone stops as it lights up they entire world. Thats you Sammy Joe, you are an amazing person who I have learnt so much from and together we will be together forever. When we are all stars in the sky, and we all have maps to the stars I want you to know I will love you just as much as I do now. So, next time your looking at the stars in the sky remember that we all are shooting stars in our own ways.
Mum, I know your concerned about next Monday but I know your going to be just fine because everyone is here for you. We love you with all our hearts and laughter. You will be in good care next week but as you go into hospital remember you are never alone for apart of all of us, who loves you goes with you everystep of the way.
I am looking forward to seeing you all really really soon.
Lots of love, hugs, kisses and magical wish dust spread your way,
Brooke xoxoxo

Sammy-Joe, when your Mummy is drawing a map to the stars, maybe she can draw a map to our house. We could dance in the moonlight and play pixie games. Maria, my heart goes out to you. I wish I could shoulder some of the burden for you. You are in my hearts and prayers.
All our love, Jamie and Hannah Banana Cutie Pie Kyle

Hi Sammy-Joe
We are making a Prayer Rock Garden at school like the
one I have at home. Only these rocks are fancier because
the Preschoolers are painting them before I put the names
on them. Each day they paint a few rocks and draw names out of
the Pen Pals basket. Yesterday we drew your name and asked
God to bless you. The little garden is by the back door of the
church where the Preschool entrance is.
Praying your Mom, too!!!!!
