I came upon Michaela's site through Tanner Dohrman's site. Michaela was a special, beautiful child. I have added her to the "Roll of Angels" Prayer List at http://www.OurPreciousAngels.net and I invite you to visit this new site which I have just created for parents and family members of infants and children who have passed from our world. We will pray for Michaela daily.

Happy Easter Beautiful Angel. I guess your celebration in heaven is spectacular. Aunt Lori and I painted eggs with your brothers and mom and dad. We didn't paint as many eggs as we normally do -- I don't think your brothers enjoy it as much as you do. So we painted eggs and then we played two games. I think your brothers enjoyed Pictionary the best. Aunt Lori was making them laugh because she kept complaining (to put it nicely) about my drawing skills!!! Painting Easter eggs always brings happy memories because you always had so much fun and it's something Aunt Lori and I look forward to every year. And of course you know we laughed about the "cheese." I think you had something to do with Aunt Lori finding the "cheese" last night. I know you were right there with us. I miss you sweetie and I love you forever and ever. Visit me in my dreams okay? Love you.

I want you to know I feel your pain each day and your pain is warranted.......and you are very right when you say no words can make you feel any other way than the way you do! God bless!

I have been thinking about writing this for a while but I did not. Your writings are always so emotional and inspiring. With your last journal entry you said it was Part I, well honestly, I am still patiently waiting for Part II. Don't disappoint your readers, bring it on Kim. Just kidding, I love you honey. I frequently do check for updates though, because you always write from the heart, I like that. Talk to you soon.

I found this on another moms webiste and wanted to share it with you, because it tells of friendship, what brought us together and what will keep us together, as friends, forever............

I belong to a special group of women
My friends and I have an amazing bond.
We never wanted to be in this group,
Yet we are in, for life.
Maybe we have met, maybe we haven’t,
Yet our love for each other is boundless.
We know the pain the other one feels,
And we share our victories small or huge.
Words like chemo, IV, Zofran , bald heads
Are always parts of our conversations,
As well as roidrage, tears, and meltdowns…
We always know where the closest puke bucket is ,
We can hold it in one hand and if necessary,
Swallow the sandwich the other hand was holding.
We can drive to the hospital ,
Park in the dark parking garage
Make our way thru the halls of the hospital
And to the appropriate floor,
Settle in a room, turn the TV on,
Give instructions to the head nurse,
Silence loud beeping IV pumps,
Direct a wagon AND an IV pole
To the playroom without hitting anything
Make our way back to the correct room
And all this, mind you,
With our eyes closed at any given time.
We know how to draw blood from lines
Sticking out of little kids chests.
We can hold them down with one hand ,
While a nasogastric tube is inserted in their little nose,
And be on the phone with their dads at the same time.
We can live for days on hospital food,
And on maybe only one meal a day .
We know the names of up to 20 different drugs ,
Their purpose, dosage and time to be taken.
We are always on call, 24 hours a day ,
Seven days a week.
We are used to not always looking our best,
Hard to do with only a few hours of sleep .
Make up , hair styling, skirts are words of the past .
We have become addicted to texting ,
hospital, clinic, home, wherever…
We talk sometimes at all hours of the night ,
We know we can count on someone to be up.
Then for one of us , the world stops .
She has to walk away, broken.
This job is over .
The job is over, but the fight is on.
Remember , I said we were in this forever.
We are friends, sisters, temporary nurses,
We are each others rock, each others punching bag,
We listen , we vent , we cry , we laugh together .
We share our lives and our deaths
We share our pain and our victories.
We are strong, but not by choice ,
Sometimes we win , sometimes we lose,
But never are we defeated .
We are not nurses
We are not doctors,
We are cancer moms…

friends forever because of this!!!

I was thinking about you and wondering if you and Brandon are hanging out together?!? Your mom has been such a great support to Jamie and Brandon. She is a wonderful lady, but you already knew that, didn't you? We are lucky to have two angels like you two up there watching over us. We would rather you here on earth, but since that is not an option, watching over us is the next best thing. No trouble making now......just kidding about that one.

Good morning beautiful angel. I have a hard time believing that you've been in heaven for so long and went to heaven much too soon. I think about you everyday and I miss you so very, very much. I'm picturing you on the clouds painting the sky so beautifully, just like you. I got my pedicure on Saturday for you. I didn't have my toes painted blue again this year, but I think you'd approve the color I picked. I hope to see some butterflies today because I'll know that you sent them. I love you sweetie forever and ever. Come visit me in my dreams -- I love when you visit me, it's such a special treat. I'll look for your painted sky tonight -- I'm sure it will be spectacular. I miss you and I love you forever and ever.

Michaela I am thinking of you today. Thinking about how you became an angel way to young, how many people miss you so much, and the many lives you have touched. In your short life here, you were like an angel to many and now you continue to watch over us from above. Since having you here can not happen, it is a blessing to know you are in a place that is pain and cancer free. Just know that you are thought about often and will never, ever be forgotten.

Kim and Dave,
I know this time of year is especially difficult for you. You are so right Kim, those who have not walked in your shoes (including myself) should not judge you. You do whatever feels right for you. You want to get up, then get up. You want to stay in bed, stay in bed. You want to cry, cry. You want to laugh, laugh. Just whatever you decide to do, know you are thought about today and everyday. Wish I was with you to give you a huge hug. Since I am not, then a cyber hug will have to do............You are not alone in your loss. Your sorrow is shared by many!!!!
God bless and talk to you soon.

Love ya sis!!

Good morning angel girl...im sorry if i had not visited your page lately but you know the words and things me and you have talked about EVEVRY DAY since i last saw you.I was in the mulch beds yeasterday and saw all my daffadils and lilies coming up from the frosty ground and all i could think about is Where is Kayla on such a day we had so much fun working in my flower beds.As much as i want those flowers to come up strong and pretty ,they somehow dont seem as important to me,i thought of you and you only when i see them peek there little buds through the soil.I wish you were right beside me pulling away the old leaves and just tossing them in the yard for Aunt Kath to pick up later.Memeber how mad she would get at us for not finishing our flower bed cleanup chores?but hey me and you got tired and needed a break aint? anyway i know im just babbling to you but i miss you and love you so much i just wish you were here with all of us and could see the flowers bloom you planted if only one more season, I LOVE YOU IN BUNCHES AND BUNCHES AND MISS IN A WHOLE LOT MORE,this is me kissing you with XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOS Love Aunt Lori

lancaster, pa usa - Sunday, March 16, 2008 5:16 AM CDT

Kim,

I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you, your family and your beautiful Michaela. I know that I sent you a note, on Michaela's birthday, but I wish I would have thought of signing Michaela's guest book that day, too. I know that it's so helpful to go back and look at everyone thoughts, who are thinking of you, and Michaela, as that is a visual reminder that you're never alone.

I wish we lived closer, as I feel that I'd want to be there for you, as you are still in such pain in these early years without Michaela. We both know that the unbearable aching will never go away, but somehow the intensity softens in time. Even after 15 years, without my Kyle, I still feel like I just can't believe he's gone. The longing for him never ends, but neither has the love...for that was the most tremendous gift he left with me. And, that love, from our angel children, is what will get us through the greatest loss of all.

Kim, I wish we could all take each other's pain away, and bring each other's child back, but we can't. The only thing we can do is stand by each other, and be there, even from miles and miles away. We share a loss, unlike no other, and can offer each other support, understanding and love, in the midst of this lifelong, crippling pain. And, I can't imagine being alone in this, as it would be so much worse. Just knowing that someone understands, 100%, brings me comfort.

I am grateful for you, as from the beginning, you grabbed hold of my heart. You are a gem, Kim. And, Michaela is watching over you with great pride, and love...of that I am certain. Thank you for all that you offer, so unselfishly and genuinely. You truly honor your beautiful Michaela, and your love for her.

With shared hearts and hugs,

Beth Anne

You know Kim, that I have not walked in your shoes.............but I get it. I hear what you are saying loud and clear. It makes so much sense. It is hard to move on when all you want is what you had, all you want is your beautiful daughter back to love, live and share life with. Unfortunately that is not an option, at least not to physically have her back here on earth. If it were, I would be the first one to stand in line for days to get it back for you. I feel your pain like it is my own.

You are one of my best friends!!! I can probably count on two hands how many times we have actually seen each other in person. But no matter, we were brought together by this terrible disease and that is something that will keep us "stuck" together forever and ever. When your heart is breaking, so is mine. When you are down in the dumps, I feel your pain. When you are chipper, be it real or fake, I feel your enthusiasm for life. You are one awesome lady with so much to offer so many. Michaela can't join you physically on earth, but boy is she here with you and everyone else always and forever. Like when you see a butterfly and think of her or when you just remember her love for life and childhood. Pictures are worth a thousand words. Oh what beautiful pictures you have of her.

So I guess what I am saying is you have been through so much. No one can tell you how to feel or what to think, whether they have or have not been in your shoes, but know that we all feel your pain. We are in this together, today and everyday. No matter if you are having a good day or a bad day. I am always here for you. You are more than a friend to me. We have a very special bond. I love you like a sister. If you need to talk, call. If you don't want to talk, don't answer. No matter. I know if you want to talk you will answer or call back. I am here whether it occurs now or later. I am always here for you, more than you know. Now that i said all that, know I am here for you, good or bad, happy or sad.

You continue to do so much in honor of Michaela. What a wealth of information you are. You offer your knowledge and past experiences to other parents to assist them in coping with thier issues. You continue to help others even when you are in so much pain yourself. You are a true angel. The best!!!

Love ya lots,

It hardly seems like 3 years and then other times it seems longer. I know you certianly do miss your Michaela being by your side to hug, cuddle with and talk to. Kim and Dave just know that no matter what she is always in your heart and the heart and thoughts of others. No words I can say could ever take away the pain.......just know that others feel your pain too. Kim, oh my dear friend how I wish I knew the perfect thing to do or say to you.............I do not though except to let you know that I love you like a sister and I feel your pain too. Just know that you are special to me and we were brought together for some reason by this terrible disease and Michaela will forever be special to me just as you and the family are. Hugs and strength to you to keep on keeping on one day at a time or one hour at a time, whatever it may be.
Love ya,

I know she is having so much fun and is surrounded by LOVE,LOVE, LOVE! I pray that the rollercoaster of emotions you are feeling stops, and you have a sense of consistent peace. YOU ARE STRONG, remember that always.
Much love,

Good morning sweetie, you certainly painted a beautiful sky this morning. I can't believe that you've been in heaven for three years. I miss you so very much. I miss having you spend the weekend with me and Aunt Lori. We always had so much fun. Mama and I are getting a pedicure today and I think I'm going to get my toenails painted a light baby blue color to match your beautiful eyes. I know that you would approve. I tried talking Aunt Lori into going with us and getting a manicure and to even get her nails painted, but she keeps saying no. I told her you would love it, but I don't have her wrapped around my finger the way you did. Aunt Lori and I FINALLY got a butterfly bush. We saw our first butterfly on it earlier this week. We both looked at each other and knew you sent it to us. Keep sending them sweetie because it really helps me knowing that you're close by. I miss you and I love you forever and ever.

Kim, don't ever feel bad about posting about how you feel. We all hate this disease with every ounce in our bodies and we need to get those feelings out. If writing helps make you feel better, by all means... keep doing it! =) I wish I knew a way to help you heal. Celebrate your daughter's life this weekend. Even though I'm one to talk... my father passed away 7 days after your beautiful Michaela and I still can't look at his urn. I know loosing a parent is different than loosing a child so I hope you don't think I'm trying to compare our losses. Just showing that I have some of the same feelings as you. =) I will be thinking of Michaela and your family this weekend. God Bless and Keep Writing! =)

Kim your recent journal entry touched my heart like all of them do. You my dear are an amazing soul. I love ya. Though we talk often, you are right, we do not talk about Michaela enough. Her heart and soul lives on forever in you and everyone she knew. Again as I always say, I wish I had the opportunity to meet her sooner and get to know her better. I feel like I knew her well though through you. I sincerely mean it when I say there is not a day that goes by that I do not think of Michaela and your family. You all have touched my heart in a way you will never know. You are a dear dear friend of mine that I will treasure forever and ever. Michaela will always be a part of my thoughts forever and ever. Sending you and yours a great big hug to wrap you up in and comfort you in your time of need. I am so lucky to know you. We were brought together for a reason. That is for sure. God bless and love ya............

p.s. Good luck with your lemonade stand. Get the word out, call the local newspapers and TV news crews to highlight your stand in advance and on the that special day. I hope you raise lots of money. I wish I could come and help but unfortunately I will not be able to then. Good luck!!!

Hi, Kay Kay. Ever since the day you left I've been missing you! I just read a story in Chicken Soup For The Kid's Soul about a young girl who died with cancer. It reminded me of you and I just had to come on your website. Guess what? I have a pet bunny now! He is really cute and his name is Carmel. I really wish we would have gotten a chance to at least say good-bye before you went up to heaven.
Your in my thoughts,

Dear Michelle, I'm so sorry for the loss of your cousin. It must be especially hard for you because you are the same age. I think the shoebox idea is great! I hope you continue to fill it up with happy memories of your very much loved cousin, or even happy thoughts that may come to you in dreams. I'm glad that you can have that kind of connection with an Angel. You are an Angel too, an Earth Angel. Everytime you talk about your cousin Kay, or write about her in school, or send a note to a representative, you are helping children everywhere in the battle against childhood cancer, by increasing awareness. Many people are not aware of the battle that is going on everyday for children with cancer and their families and friends. I hope that your Memory box can bring you some comfort and peace now and in the future, and thanks, so much for helping kids! You have a very Special Angel watching over you, and you are a Special young lady. God Bless you, Love, Ellen Hanson

Cape Cod, Ma - Tuesday, February 27, 2007 0:54 AM CST

Kay was my cousin, literally my cousin! She was born just 28 days after me. We were really close. I beleive, somehow we still are. I remember she was so nice and caring, I love her so much! When I went to the funeral, I remember crying, a lot. I was eight then. Currently I've been missing her more then ever. In writing class at school I wrote a pursuasive essay on childhood cancers. We even sent it to Katie Truemen! (who is my county's representative) A week or so later I did receive a letter back! Michaela, we always called Kay. I remember about three months after Kay's death, I went to the school counceler. This may help anyone who has been dealing with the death of a loved one,what we did is we took a shoebox, and decorated it which reads, Memories of Michaela, I put most of my precious memories of Kay in there. Whenever I need to, I look back to it. I just looked at it about a half hour ago. It's just so hard not to cry. I have been trying to remember all the good times,cause you can't take back time to fix any regrets. Sometimes I just can't beleive that she died. I have dreams that I talk to her and she magically comes back to life. Just imagine what life would be like without someone very special to you in your life, hard to imagine, unless you've already lost someone very special to you, if so you already are going through the same pain, and I hope the best for you. Cancer has now had a huge influance on my life ever since Kay has gotten cancer. Cancer is HORRIBLE! I saw that over 150,000 people have viewed this website. It's nice to know that you care! (ps- sorry about any spelling or grammer mistakes, I'm only 11!) I hope my Aunt Kim sees what I typed! I love you Kay!

Michaela must have read my mind and known that I was thinking about her today. I was sitting down to watch a little TV on Channel 8 and there she was, smiling right at me from the television! Apparently Channel 8 put together a compilation of clips to recognize the community for contributing to a variety of local cancer charities. And one of the clips was of Michaela getting a piggy back ride!! She was smiling so big and it gave me chills to see her. She looked so happy and I could tell she was having so much fun. Has anyone else seen this ad on WGAL? I just had to share it with you...it made my day.

Allentown, PA - Wednesday, November 22, 2006 9:00 PM CST

Hello Kim and Dave....

Well, we did it again...this past weekend we were host to some of the most special people on earth...Penn State THON canners. For those of you not familiar with THON, it is a 46 hour dance marathon held every February and run solely by the students. It benefits the Four Diamonds Fund at Hershey Medical Center for children with cancer. Gosh, I cannot even explain the feelings. I do not have a child with cancer so I cannot say that I understand. I do know that our family is honored to be able to help in any way we can.

On Friday evening at about 8PM fifteen smiling faces with hearts full of love piled into our home. Many of them are freshman who have not yet experienced THON and it was so neat to be able to share the experiences we have had as spectators of THON weekend. At 7AM the kids were at the intersection of Cedar Crest and Tilghman Sts. with their cans collecting any loose change people wanted to donate. Perhaps you saw some Penn Staters in your area standing on street corners or outside the malls or grocery stores. At about 7PM they all came back to count....$4,098.00 + a few cents more! There are three more "canning" weekends left before February...we only hope and pray that perhaps these pennies will help a family who faces one of the toughest times of their lives. God bless you all.

love, sylvia

If it wasn't for you all I am not sure how I would have made it through all we have gone through. You are right we do need to start putting our money in the right place. I will be working very hard on this. I am also going to take down the information you have just given and distributing it along with information on Lunch for Life.

You've been in my thoughts a lot lately and I wanted you to know that.

Hello Kim and family-
I found Michaela's website through Chriti Thomas'. In your latest entry you asked why people would visit your site. But before I get into that, I would like to say what a beautiful and amazing family you are. I decided to visit your website because we found out today that our 4 year-old Penelope may have just a few weeks left. She was diagnosed with stage IV NB almost 3 years ago. I wanted to see how your family is doing today, two years after sweet Michaela got her wings. If this sounds awkward, I apologize, but you have given me much hope to a brighter future. Thank you.

Kim and Dave....next to my bed I have a basket, and this basket holds the prayer cards and memorials of those who have touched my life but who have gone on to the next. Each night before I fall asleep I go through these cards during my prayer time, to pray for these precious souls and their families. Michaela will never be forgotten. Every year when the THON activities start, it is Michaela I hold close to my heart and remember.

God bless you....thank you for sharing, and for making me smile. love, sylvia

I check your site from time to time for two reasons. 1. To honor the fierce battle that Michaela fought and to honor such a beautiful and very special girl. 2. To check on your family and to let you know she is not forgotten and to honor the fierce battle you fought to save her and the fierce battle you fight to go on without her. When I read your posts I mourn the incredible woman Michaela would have grown into under your love and guidance. Even though we have never met, you are in my thoughts and prayers and your sweet girl is always remembered.

Kim there you go again......You do indeed know that Michaela is never ever forgotten. She is thought about everyday. Never will anyone forget your little angel girl. She is terrific. I wonder where she got that from? hhmmm, could it be her mom? Or was it her dad? Probably a little of both.
I come here to see how you, Dave and boys are doing. I come here to remember Michaela. I come here to let you know I care. I come here to say "Love ya and think of you often." You are a great person with a heart of GOLD. Your stories are funny too.
So you are a 39 year old "young lady" now. Sorry I missed your birthday. Happy belated birthday dear friend. You look great. You are great. And like I said, you have a heart of gold. You are one of the most sincere people I have met. You will do anything to help others. You are never far from my mind. I love ya and will always come to visit Michaela's page to let you know she is never ever forgotten and you are always near and dear to my heart.

To answer one of your many questions, I do come to visit your sight to see how your ENTIRE family is doing. I learned about your sight thru my sister-in-law Steph Pham. May God keep blessing your entire family! Will always keep your family in our prayers.

To answer your question, even though I know it was rhetorical: I visit mostly to let you know that Michaela will never, ever be forgotten, and also to check that you are doing okay.
Body image is an odd thing isn't it? I get a jolt every time I catch my reflection and am reminded that I am actually a short, dumpy fat 50 year old. Not how I see myself at all. :-)
I am glad that the boys had such a great birthday.

Not many others who realize what the would trigger in you, the shaved heads. My son likes his really short too, military style. Took so long to get hair I cant imagine why he'd want it off again.. but you're in that other part of the journal of life now, not the beginning part full of what ifs and things I want to get to, now you are unfortunately in the blank pages, with the goal being just to get through another day... and if you accomplish something thats the icing on the cake.

as with most cases sites are "stumbled upon" by visiting other sites. Your angel is beautiful. She is the lucky one who is sitting at the feet of Jesus and actually looking into His eyes. Wow! We are the ones to be pitied - those left behind. But oh what a reunion there will be when ALL of God's children get home. May God continue to use you, your family and this journey to bring glory to Him. Your darling girl is doing that right now.

Michaela,
A few corrections: Not were and had but instead you ARE a strong girl, you ARE a warrior and you HAVE a great mom and dad. Did not like the wording of my last entry so needed to fix that. Hugs to all.

Carlisle, PA - Friday, July 7, 2006 4:58 AM CDT

Michaela,
As I sit here tonight I think of your anniversary date (July 14th) coming up soon. It is a date that is in mind forever and ever. The date you gained your angel wings is also the date (only a year prior) that Jared was diagnosed with NB. My thought immediatelly go to you. I think what a precious angel you are. I think how I wish I would have had the opportunity to get to know you so much better than I had. I think what a great family you have. I think how much and how often your mom is in my thoughts. Not a day goes by that I do not think about Kim and you. I think how strong you were. What a warrior you were and what a great mom and dad you had. Your impending anniversary makes me think of you even more. May I send you big hugs to heaven. May you continue to watch over us and your family. May you know you are never forgotten. You are thought about often, probably more than you know. Big hugs to you Michaela today and always.

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

A Mother's Day Wish From Heaven

Dear Mr. Hallmark,

I am writing to you from heaven, and though it must appear
A rather strange idea, I see everything from here.
I just popped in to visit, your stores to find a card
A card of love for my mother, as this day for her is hard.

There must be some mistake I thought, every card you could imagine
Except I could not find a card, from a child who lives in heaven.
She is still a mother too, no matter where I reside
I had to leave, she understands, but oh the tears she’s cried.

I thought that if I wrote you, that you would come to know
That though I live in heaven now, I still love my mother so.
She talks with me, and dreams with me; we still share laughter too,
Memories our way of speaking now, would you see what you could do?

My mother carries me in her heart, her tears she hides from sight.
She writes poems to honor me, sometimes far into the night
She plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells
She writes to other grieving parents, trying to ease their pain as well.

So you see Mr. Hallmark, though I no longer live on earth
I must find a way, to remind her of her wondrous worth
She needs to be honored, and remembered too
Just as the children of earth will do.

Thank you Mr. Hallmark, I know you’ll do your best
I have done all I can do; to you I’ll leave the rest.
Find a way to tell her, how much she means to me
Until I can do it for myself, when she joins me in eternity.

Hi Kim,

I just read your amazing message. I cannot and will not ever imagine the grief you all have to live with. I am so sorry. Part of the horror of the disease is imagining, but not really going there as to what the grief might feel like. There is a fear you carry all the time that "What IF?" What if my child replases, what if this were me writing about my child funeral!

Thanks for our beautifyl message. I was so hoping to get together agin this summer in Chicago. I will be very excited to go the following year!

God Bless and thanks for your caring and loving heart you give so freely to all of us on the NB list!!

Love,

Happy Easter beautiful angel. We painted eggs last night with your brothers -- they are becoming quite the artists. Your brothers were having a great time and we painted eggs just for you. Did you see the spinner momma bought to spin the eggs? Daddy and Aunt Lori really liked that -- I didn't think they were going to let anyone else use it, but we did. Of course Daddy had to show us how it was done. I miss you and love you so very much. Give Mum Mum a hug and kiss for me and come see me in my dreams -- I love when you're in my dreams. I love you forever and ever.

I want you to know that I for one never have and never will forget your precious Michaela. I only briefly knew her and she left a great impression in my life that I could never forget her. I visit michaela's site often to check on things (how you and Dave and the boys are doing) and also in memory of her. Kim, I am amazed with every one of your journal entries with how you cope and how truly amazing you are. You impress me all the time. Yes, you are right, I am not and have not been where you are but let me tell you that I am always here for you and would give you the world on a platter if you wanted it and I could. Big hugs to you my very dear and wise friend. You have so much on your shoulders yet always are here for me and give me advice and listen to my crazy stories. I am glad the boys are doing so well and growing up to become fine young gentlemen. Glad they found soccer and wrestling and like it. You are a great mom.

I want to say to you, I agree. You are not a bad person for feeling the way you do. You are very unselfish to say the least! I, too, lost a child to NB in 2003. I miss him terribly. But then I remember those awful times when he was so sick, and when we had to stay night after night at the hospital and I think how much I DO NOT miss that. I would go thru it all over again if it meant having him here, however I would never wish him to be sick and here again just for me to be able to look into those gorgeous eyes and hear his beautiful voice say "you are the best mom, i love you, sweet dreams". I will see him again, I will hear him again.....and in the meantime, he is soooo happy! How could I wish anything else for him??? God bless you for being honest with people and I'm sure a lot won't understand. I do. And I wanted to give you a hug for that. :)

Kim, This is Gretchen, Angel ALex's Mom. I've ben hiding out lately, not even lurking on the list. Today I was thinking of you and thought I'd check in. Your entry gave me the goosebumps. There was nothing strange about the way that you feel. It is a very normal feeling and will hopefully help you to heal. The feeling hit me the day that ALex passed away. I sat in the back yard with family and remember feeling relaxed for the first time in 14 months. I did not have to worry about Alex anymore, he was safe with Jesus with no more ouchies or anything to harm him. That is what has helped me get through everyday since. Alex and Michaela are definitely safe from everything with Jesus, could we ask for a better babysitter? Even though I am not lurking around, I still think of all of the parents on the angel list. Tell them all they are in my prayers still. Love and prayers!

You are a person I love to talk to. You are a great listener. You are a great friend. If I can do anything.....ever....you let me know and I am there for you. You are always here for me and I love you for that. God sent me a dear friend when we were introduced and I will treasure you forever and ever. Glad you are feeling better and having a break through.

Michaela what a beauty. My angel is still fighting, but I feel so safe to know there is such a wonderful angel looking down from heaven. I know she is looking and spreading her love over your whole family. She was so lucky to be loved on this earth by such a great family. I am praying my angel will be able to beat this, but if he doesn't I know he will be joined in heaven by good company.
