Donna, it sounds like you are doing well. Redecorating Adam's room had to have been a huge undertaking and extremely emotional, but it sounds like Adam was right there with you through it all. You and your family are always in my prayers.

We were admitted for my 4 year old son's hospital chemo on the west tower 9th floor at TCH yesterday 6/29/05. Today we visited Tobias favorite place (the play room on 9), and there was this wonderful computer that just made my sons day. Thank you for all you are doing, it has and will continue to effect many young cancer patients and families making their way through treatment at TCH. Thank you, Thank you.

Hello,
Kyle and I just finished up watching a fireworks show from the back deck about an hour ago. They have a festival going on in town and we were able to see the "show" from home. :) We also went to see the movie"Herbie: Fully Loaded"...very cute and we had a great time. I am so glad Andrew received the model and liked it. Kyle was glad to hear that, as he chose it. :) Well, take good care.

Glad you're in the "relaxed" mode. That's always a good place to be! :) What kind of models does Andrew like putting together? What one did you find in your search? Look forward to the news you have to share with us after you share it with CureSearch first. So, it's HOT there, huh?? Well, only in the 60's here....70's is PERFECT for me. If it never got above 75 I'd enjoy that. Well, take good care.

Our kids get out of school on Wednesday and they are looking forward to it, but Madison said this morning that it wasn't fair that Addison and Kyler were done and she and Dalton still had to go! I hope that you have a relaxing summer.

Hi Donna,
I really enjoyed going to the cemetery with you the other day. Although it is a sad place it is also a happy place ,because as christians we KNOW Adam is with "his sweet Jesus" and we know that is where he wanted to be. Adam was a very special little boy here on earth and I know even a bigger one in Heaven!
Much love and prayers

Dear Culliver Family, Thank you so much for supporting childhood cancer research. I appreciate all that you do to raise funds for the researchers to find the CURE.

Our 26 month old daughter, Jill, was a patient at St. Judes from Jan. to Sept. 2004. Miracles do happen. We return to Memphis in June for Jill's nine month post treatment check up. Please pray for our sanity!

Hang in there. Keep promoting childhood cancer awareness.

Oh how sweet that photo is of Adam amoung the bluebonnets...priceless!! He certainly appreciated a pretty floweer, didn't he! Makes me think of him puttering around with you in the garden. And NOW....he is DANCING amoung every imagineable flower in a garden BEYOND our imagination and having his Grandpa applaud him! Beautiful thought. Please tell Andrew congratulations for me on his 6th grade graduation. Look forward to reading about it.

Hi...I LOVE when you share the bible verses on Adam's page (ALWAYS seem to be EXACTLY the one I need to hear that day too!)...and I love the verses from your Promises for Parents...today's made me cry imagining you singing those songs at Adam's grave. I cannot hear those sweet children's songs such as Jesus Loves the Little Children without thinking of Adam...and his "sweet Jesus". Will ALWAYS be amazing to me how Adam - and you, Tim and Andrew-have touched my life without ever meeting you face-to-face. God is GREAT!

I remember reading and hearing about Adam's illness and thinking how suddenly he was taken away...after reading your journal I feel your loss and pain but also feel the love that Adam knew while here on earth. I hope we can meet soon - we will be at the Relay for Life next Friday - I look forward to buying CureSearch bracelets. God Bless you - Mary Kay

What special friends they were....so close at such a young age....something that is so RARE to find, a friendship that special...yet Adam had it and got to experience it...Thank you God. :) Wishing you many rays of sunshine through the tears!

Jesus Loves Me this I know
for the bible tells me so.
Little ones to him belong,
they are weak, but He is strong.

YES, Jesus Loves ME!

God Made You For A Reason

When I look upon my screen
I find a happy reason
the joy that comes to me from you
is gratitude so very pleasing...

What a wonderful creator
that made a friend like you,
He placed a sweet kind person
and gave me lots of comfort too.

A world without your kindness
would be a sad sad world.

But I don't have to worry,
there's no need to be,
because of you I am very happy,
and that's good enough for me.

I've found great people everywhere,
they come into my life.
Just like you, all those others too,
have given me delight.

So I thank God I met you,
I thank him for all seasons.
Now I know for sure with all my heart,
GOD Created YOU for a reason.

Hello,
I saw your post on Katherine Cross' website about having two children, one in Heaven. I just wanted to share with you that one of the things that my wife and I struggled with after Molly died was how to tell people how many children we had because we did have 3 not just 2. That is exactly what we decided, we would give Delaney and Anna's ages and always state that Molly was in Heaven. It is a wonderful feeling to keep her memory alive in that way. I just did it in an introduction at a conference this week. Also, it makes people curious about Molly and inevitably I get to share her story with someone new. Which, as we know, makes us feel good as surviving parents.
Your website is beautiful.
God Bless you all,

Tim and Donna,
Through out the past several years, God has brought our families close together through so many tragedies. Yet, throughout it all, I see how much God has grown each one of us in His likeness. I am so amazed at your incredible strength and courage. I know that Adam is looking down on you with pride and happiness. I can see him looking into the Father's eyes and saying, "See, I told you they could do it." God chose you both for that reason. HE knew you could do it!! I treasure your friendship so much and I am so lucky that God has brought your family into my life. Keep on keeping on!!

Houston, TX - Friday, April 8, 2005 9:28 AM CDT

Praise the Lord for such a wonderful report and witness! Thank you for sharing. Our Anna, full of health and vigor, also passed away very shortly after her diagnosis and, while we miss her terribly, we are grateful that she did not suffer long. After our Anna went to be with the Lord, the one single fact that kept me from practically going insane was that she, just as your precious Adam, knew Jesus Christ as her personal Saviour. Praise the Lord!! That one thought comforts me over and over again. Without personally having met neither you nor Adam, I can still be sure that among all that you miss about him, you miss most his kindness, compassion and love. There is something so special about these children. . . As Adam's birthday approaches, we pray our Lord will abundantly bless you with His comfort and peace. We know your pain and we thank God we are able to share not only your grief but also His faithful and precious promise of Heaven.

In His Love,

It did feel a bit like Christmas on Sunday. Since we moved to Houston, I do not tolerate temperatures below 70 degrees very well.

I am glad you were able to spend the day with your family and friends. I am sure they helped you to get through the holiday.

Also, thanks for the link to the Cure Search site. I joined. In fact, I am trying to talk my husband into the DC conference. I want to do my part to help find a cure for ALL childhood cancers.

Love,

Diana, Mother of Angel Katherine

Dear Donna:
I've thought about you so many times since we met in Atlanta. OF course, I feel like I knew you personally before then as i'd heard so much about you from Mary Lane. You truly touched my heart, and I'm so glad and proud to be standing beside you, taking on this terrible disease for all those still fighting and all those to come. Do you know that that same AFLAC Cancer Center you toured had EIGHT new diagnosis last weekend alone? EIGHT!?! My heart is broken, thinking about eight new families whose lives have been turned upside down, eight new children fighting the battles of their lives. And this is just one weekend at one children's hospital. It just has to stop.

God Bless you, Donna, for staying in the fight. I am sure that some days, it would be easier to step away, and your resolve to find the cure for other children inspires me so much.
Love,
Kristin

It did almost seem like Christmas around here with as cold as it was. I'm glad you made it through Easter. Easter is such a special day, and the energy and excitement I felt at church was so wonderful, but I know it can also be such a hard day emotionally. May God continue to be with you.

Hello Dear Friends: Glad you got through Easter. I had to shed a tear reading how Grandma brought out all the things of Adam's, etc....a Grandma's love is so very precious. That is so nice that Andrew takes even MORE time to be with her as he knows how happy it makes her and helps her cope. Such a wonderful son and grandson he is!!! I know Adam's birthday is fastly approaching...I am going to release a balloon in memory of him, a little boy that has such a special piece of my heart....truly amazing how that happens and we have never met. God blesses us in SO many ways! Glad to read things are "rolling" along with CureSearch...I just get so "charged up" reading all that you are doing! Well, take good care. I will be back soon.
God bless,
Eileen

Very bittersweet, isn't it?---to want Spring so badly, yet all of it reminds you of Adam. I just know your little precious was working away with you today in those flower beds. :) So sorry Andrew is having some difficulties lately...how hard it must be to have his little brother not with him. Please let him know I am thinking of him, praying for him. And hoping the "fresh start of Spring" will bring him new hope and lessened feelings of lonliness. Well, it is almost midnight, I'd best get some shut-eye. We have to leave for Kyle's Spelling Bee at 7:30 a.m. tomorrow and I need to awaken him by a quarter to 8. He JUST went back to school today after missing Tues., Wed. and Thurs. He has bronchitis/pneumonia, but is on an antibiotic and today was the first day he was feeling better. It was Grandparents day today at school and he really wanted to attend. So, he had no fever and I let him go. Oh MY...the HOMEWORK that he missed...it's enough for 3 kids! LOL Well, take good care.

Dear Donna,

I am sorry that you had such a hard day on Sunday. I know some days are worse than others. I really liked your journal entry today. I know whenever I start to question why Katherine? Why our family? I try to remind myself that I will never know the answer to this question on Earth. Someone described God's master plan as a beautiful tapestry. Our life is just a single thread so we can not see the entire beautiful picture. I try to hold onto this thought when I am having one of my really bad times.

I look forward to meeting you in the future. Perhaps we can meet for lunch sometime. I wouldn't mind driving to Brenham this spring. It will give me a chance to see the Blue Bonnets.

I love reading about all the success you are having with CureSearch....actually gives me "goosebumps" knowing that down the line this is gonna be BIG! I just "feel" it. Yes, that is a beautiful and emotional passage you were speaking of. Our Sermon was great today...do you ever have days that it so "hits home" that you are actually emotionally and physically drained?? I just came home and slept the afternoon away...cannot explain it...it's NOT a bad thing, just that I need to "shut down" sometimes. Well, hoping you are having a good evening. Take good care.

Donna and Tim, You are an exordinary couple; I am truly inspired by your efforts to raise not only money for research but our national officials awareness of how cancer in kids affects their lives not just now but in the future. I was brought to your site through Peyton White; Marni and I have talked about you guys. I would love to do anything that I can to help. My son Weston was diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma on Jan 20, 2004; after 5 rounds of what the doctors called regular dose chemo, 2 rounds of mega dose chemo, a week in ICU, and 2 autologus stem cell transplant. Weston was considered NO Evidence of Disease, he had an MRI on Jan 18, 2005 exactly one year from the very first on he ever and it was perfect. We will be forever grateful to the doctors and nurses at CMC Dallas and now it is our turn to give back. I would appreciate you showing me how I can get involved and give back. You both will be in our prayers not only for safety as you travel but as you speak at your different meetings, and that the committee members will listen not only with their ears but with there hearts. Thank you for all you do. Sherrie

Hello. I came to your site from a link on Eileens. I have visited before, but I don't think I "signed it." I'm guilty of that alot. In reading some of your journal I realized the anniversary of your baby earning his wings had been recently. I know that even after being the mother of an angel myself, I never know what to say. I guess we know the truth that there are no words that really help but I wanted you to know your son is being remembered tonight and your faith has been an inspiration. I wish you many moments of happiness.

Remember, letting go is not forgetting, you have wonderful memories of Adam. He will always live in your hearts and will never be forgotten. His spirit will live on in your hearts and thru Curesearch and Adam's Angels Ministries. These ministries have a great future ahead of them and will conquer great things. Much love and prayers

Oh Donna, I so understand about having to "give a little rein".....our boys are getting to "that age"....and I find it INCREDIBLY difficult, yet I KNOW as a good parent I MUST do this. He, himself, isn't ready to be alone at the movies but he is a couple of years younger than Andrew...but, he has asked to be able to do things with his friend and their family without me there...and to go have a sleep over at his friend's house, those sorts of things. I find it difficult even though he is with people I COMPLETELY trust....it is really, really hard to give up that control of EVERY situation and not WORRY that SOMETHING will go wrong. But, it's part of parenting....I know it is GOOD for him to become independent so that he can grow into a confident adult. :) I think it's MUCH harder on me than him! LOL And our boys are so good about following the rules...I pray they always will be....if I tell Kyle to call, he calls. And he abides by any request even if I get the "eye roll and smile and then told that I worry too much"! :) He really is such a sweet, caring child. Well, I've talked your ear off here. So, hoping you are having a good day. Think of you every day.

I told Tim earlier that I am so in awe of what is happening with 93Q Radio Houston and Texas Children's Hospital. I was telling Lee about it and he got choked up then waved his hands in circles in the air and clasped them together and said God is just taking all these little things and putting them all together. I agree, sometimes we think we are not making a difference but perhaps each little thing we do adds up so that God can put it all together for his glory. Keep up the good work, you are making a difference for families everywhere.
Hope you all have a wonderful time together, say hello to all for us. Love ya!

Oh Donna: Those lyrics are so BEAUTIFUL! When I saw it posted in your journal, you got my curiosity peaked..so I found them on the internet so I could read the words to that hymn. I hope that you do not mind that I posted them here...to share with everyone. Can't you just IMAGINE Adam "singing" and "dancing" with his SWEET JESUS when you see those words! I am sure that "cry to Jesus" really helped you today. I pray you have a most wonderful time while you are away for the holidays. Blessings, Eileen

Untitled Hymn (Come To Jesus) :: Chris Rice

Genre: Christian

Weak and wounded sinner
Lost and left to die
O, raise your head, for love is passing by
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus and live!

Now your burden's lifted
And carried far away
And precious blood has washed away the stain, so
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus and live!

And like a newborn baby
Don't be afraid to crawl
And remember when you walk
Sometimes we fall...so
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus and live!

Sometimes the way is lonely
And steep and filled with pain
So if your sky is dark and pours the rain, then
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus and live!

O, and when the love spills over
And music fills the night
And when you can't contain your joy inside, then
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus and live!

And with your final heartbeat
Kiss the world goodbye
Then go in peace, and laugh on Glory's side, and
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus and live!

Hello my friend! :)
Stopping in to visit one of some of my favorite people! :) How are you today? You've been on my mind and heart alot lately....always are, but I know the holidays are hard so just want to be sure I am "there" for you. Wooohooo, only one more week of school left and Kyle has 2 weeks to recoup! I can hardly wait for the week to be done with so my 'lil guy can FINALLY rest up and hopefully be done with this "gunk" he has been dealing with. He REALLY needs the REST. We went to his friend's Christmas play, which was just WONDERFUL, but afterward he was so wiped out..had those dark circles under his eyes. So keep him in your prayers that he will be 100 percent, soon...ok? Well, you take good care. Hope to see a journal soon so I know how you are doing.
Lots of love and care coming your way!

Hello! Thinking of you so just had to stop in. :) Kyle is beginning to feel better. Hoping his voice holds out for his school/church Christmas Program. He has some solo parts and with all this congestion it is proving a bit difficult to carry those notes. But, I told him to just do what he can. Deaconess understands, and maybe by Tuesday it will be much better. :) How are you doing? Been concerned about you....for I know the holiday season must be quite difficult for you. Well, I must sign off for now. On my way to my bowling league. Take good care. Hey, if you have a moment...stop on by and read the journal and sign in if possible...it's the 1 year anniversary of my page! :)

Hi Donna: Just checking in to see how your neck is doing. Hope it is feeling better. Kyle is sick again. This upper-respritory thingy has got to stop! Goes away, comes back..never seems to completely clear up. Then, on Saturday his eye was all swollen---has pink eye. Today, it is in the other eye too. Not surprising as it spreads very easily from contact. Coughing and coughing...so off we go to the pediatrician tomorrow. I kept him home from school today and I will again tomorrow. So, hopefully this will all be cleared up soon??? :) I am very thankful though that there is no fever, but he is tired and has napped yesterday and today...that is simply NOT like him. Ok, enough of the "mommy worry"! Sorry! Kyle says I worry TOO much about him...can't help it, can we. LOL Well it's almost 1 a.m. - have to go in to work in the a.m. for 4 hours (I am on my lay-off, but you work 8 hours a week just to keep your medical benefits) - but, may only be a couple of hours and then take Kyle to the Dr.--then I will work the remaining two hours another day. You take good care. Talk to you real soon.

Hello Donna: I am hoping today finds your spirits "lifted". Thought I'd drop in and let you know you were on my mind. Kyle and I attended a Christmas Lights Parade. Friends of ours--their children were going to ride on one of the floats and invited Kyle to join him. Oh how excited he was! And I think I was JUST as excited! LOL In his words, "I am so Psyched about this!" LOL They were in a lighted float that resembled a gingerbread house. And when Kyle spotted me in the crowd he had a smile that just "lit up his face"! Wow, we had fun! We had a busy, full day. The parade was at 6:30 p.m. and before that we went to his school's basketball game. Then his eye started ballooning up...took him to the clinic and they said it was an eye infection so they prescribed eye drop antibiotics. That didn't slow us down...on to shopping for warm weather gear so he could ride on the float! LOL It was a wonderful day. Well, I've been praying even MORE than usual for you...praying for your comfort and peace. Take good care. Be back soon.

I know I cannot take away the heaviness of your heart by my words or actions...but I hope it lightens the load if just a little bit to know how much I care. Cried reading your entry....you are so good at journaling. Sat here for 10 minutes before writing and I feel lost for words tonight...which isn't like me. Failing greatly at trying to "encourage" tonight, sorry. :( I think of how much you have touched my heart and have changed my life....thank you. Praying, praying

Thinking about you and praying for you today. After reading your entry today, I realized that God had laid you on my heart for a reason. I also miss Adam and his sweet smile. It seems like yesterday when the boys were stars in the school's Christmas program. They were so proud. You have so many wonderful memories. Cling tight to them through the coming weeks and rejoice that your precious sweet boy is celebrating with the King on his birthday. What a beautiful sight that must be!!

I hold our friendship very close to my heart and I am so thankful that God has placed you in my life.

Hello, I am glad you had a "thankful" Thanksgiving. And wonderful to read about how your Mom was doing. Thanks for posting and letting us know. The day before Thanksgiving we had SNOW! Wow, did Kyle love THAT! Needless to say, he had fun pelting me with snowballs for a couple of days til it all melted. LOL I had a tour of the RMH in Chicago the day before Thanksgiving and am looking forward to volunteering once a month there. I have training for it in December. So, I would guess I will be able to start sometime after the New Year. Well, you all have a good day. Thinking of you always,

Glad the rain held out too! :) Also nice to hear about the visit with your friend from Maryland. So, what are your Thanksgiving Day plans? I agree with you....above ALL, have God at the center of our thankfulness! :) Wow, I was looking at my "to-do" list to finish from now until December....it's already 4 pages long front and back! LOL And Kyle and I have a very full schedule for the month of December with school/church/communtiy activities. But, we love it that way! My Mom is doing a lot better. I've been able to "nudge" her to get out and about and that has really seemed to help. Took her to Kyle's school basketball game, out to the bookstore to read and to the salon to "keep her hair happy"! LOL She is looking much better too. How's your Mom doing? I always include her in prayer. Well, my friend, have a MOST blessed Thanksgiving Day. Talk with you soon.

My Dearest Adam...

This website is to honor your memory, to go out and help those children who are suffering everyday from diseases such as the one that took you from us. Everyday I "walk with the guidance from God". Proverbs 10:9 says: The man of integrity walks securely, but he who takes crooked paths will be found out." I thank God for this wonderful CaringBridge website where one, as myself, is able to share happy times and sorrowful times in our lives. What a wonderful place to have! I do have so many things to be thankful for. Even though I do not have your physical presence with me everyday, I know that you are safe in your "heavenly Father's" arms. Safe from things that can be so cruel in our earthly homes. Praise God for that. I praise God that we have found a wonderful organization such as CureSearch in which we are truly able to focus on helping other children and yet keeping your memory alive. The daily walk through life is not an easy one. Anyone who has lost a child is aware of that. Everyday I miss you and think of you. I have to overcome many stumbling blocks, but with my focus on God, and not man and what he thinks or says, I do it. So little one, know that my mission is to seek God in all I do so that I may help others by spreading Childhood Cancer Awareness.

Relying on God is what gets me through without bittness and anger. I know you are dwelling in all his glory. I pray others come to know their Savior so ultimately, just at you did. I hope others will share their sorrows and joys and know that they do not have to reveal themselves, its between them and God.

Remembrance is a golden chain
Death tries to break, but all in vain.
To have, to love, and then to part
Is the greatest sorrow of one's heart.

The years may wipe out many things
But some they wipe out never.
Like memories of those happy times
When we were all together.

I hope the happy memories soon begin to outweigh the pain.

You know, it's entries like your current one that make me wish I could just "be there" to give you a big ((((hug)))) when you most need it. I am so, so sorry for your sorrows...how I wish I could ease them for you. How difficult doing the Fall Festival, how heart-breaking to find the Pirate Costume. Such a slap of reality. :( But, perhaps God's way of getting the message across that he knows what you are going through, feels your pain, understands. Thank you though, for sharing that precious picture of Adam in his costume and the pumpkin patch picture. What a sweet face! I am praying too for your friend's little boy. How DIFFICULT that must be to see. Just way too much coming to you all at one time, so understandable why you are feeling as you are feeling. I can only try to imagine...I think of my "lowest" times and intensify it beyond what I am able to comprehend, just UNIMAGINABLE to me the pain of losing a child. I do know the feeling of uncontrollable crying and can empathize with that, but not possible to imagine your pain....how I wish I could do something for you. I know this is in God's hands, but I just so want to help. :( I pray, I will always listen and I will always care. Please know you will always have a friend in me.....take good care and I will check in soon.

A DAY, A WEEK, A LIFETIME

When I wake up in the morning
I ask myself
How will I get through this day
Without You

As I dress and prepare to start my day
I wonder
How will I go on
Without You

As the day slowly slips away
I remember how you made me laugh
And I smile
Without You

At the end of the day
As I prepare to close my eyes
I know in my HEART
I couldn't have gotten through the day
WITHOUT YOU

Hello Donna: I was sitting here about to get ready to take my son and his friend Trick-or-Treating on Navy Pier in Chicago and thought about you and how Adam would probably have LOVED something like this. So, I needed to sign in before I go. Then, I read your update and my heart just went out to you. Stopped to say a little prayer for you. I wish there were MORE I could do. Adam and all the special children and their families here on "the bridge" are going to be in my thoughts today as we go about our day today.....I am ever so thankful for my chance to do everyday things with my son, but I also ALWAYS remember and take the time for a moment of silent prayer to be thankful that I've been given this day. And how I wish that everyone could be blessed to have their children still with them and/or NOT going through what they have been dealt. For I NEVER take the simple things he and I are able to do together for granted, for one NEVER knows what tomorrow will bring. Please know you will be "with us" today. God bless, Eileen

Donna, and family:

Donna, I am so sorry about those dreams. I am praying right now that God will send good thoughts to your mind and heart about how content and safe Adam is right now. I know your longing to be with him and the urge to just reach out and grab him is so strong. I feel for Andrew too and his loss. I know at times it must be so difficult. The kids still like to talk about Adam and him being in heaven. It is good for them when we go visit the grave. It reminds them of all the fun Adam had here on earth, seeing all the toys. Claire is always quick to answer though on how much better heaven is where he can have so many things in a PERFECT PLACE! I feel like I should be doing more during the week for you, but I'm not always sure what to do or say. So, please call on me whenever you need anything. I will be praying for you this week. Thank you for your continued work with the children's ministry, I am glad that you enjoy doing it! And thank you for all your work for childhood cancer awareness, you have already touched so many lives. May God give you and your family much rest, strength and peace this next week!

Love Always,

Just stopping by to say hi. Sorry to hear Donna that you are not feel very well. We really need to get together for lunch. We had a great time at Camp Cliff. Ya'll would have really enjoyed it. Lots of relaxation. We also went by my Aunt's house on the way home Sunday and stop to eat at Must Be Heaven. Then went to the farmer's market in Hempstead and got Danielle some pumkins. Danielle had the most fun there at camp. They had so many activities for kids to do.
As the both of you know we have Dustin's birthday come and his one year anniversary coming too. I just would like to see those two month just skip by but I know that would be impossible. Please lets get together sometime its been almost a year since we last saw you guys. Adam's one year.

Hello Donna: Just checking in on you and hoping you are feeling better. Been very hectic around here. Mom was admitted to the hospital on Tuesday. She apparantly has a blood infection, bladder infection and she's anemic. They are filling her with fluids, anitibiotics and she received a pint of blood. She is looking a bit better today, but still weak, shaky, tired and cannot stand or walk unassisted. She has fevers ranging from 100 to 104. I am praying this will all pass and be cleared up and she will be home soon. The dr. is hoping by Friday. We will see. Could you please say a special prayer for her tonight? I would so appreciate it. Our Mom's - the sure are very special to us! How's your Mom doing? Thinking of you all, always.

Adam's mom,
Hello. This is Grant's mom. I felt compelled to write to you. Your son's love for you and your family is so evident to me through reading your journals and looking at his pictures. He sounds like a wonderful son and someone that I'm sure Grant is having a ball with in Heaven. I think that sometimes are dreams are a message from us to others and sometimes a message from our loved ones to us. In your case, maybe your dreams are more a message from you..........expressing a longing to be with him, see him, and to hold him. Maybe it's a way to tell him how much you miss him and would literally reach out and grab him if only you could. Perhaps, it's not a desperate plea from him at all, rather a message from you to him. When I dreamed of Grant the other night, what I felt from him was an unearthly, incomprehensible for the living, feeling of pure joy. Know that your son feels that too. On another note, I am so impressed with all your efforts to fight childhood cancer. I know that I will also want to do all I can in promoting the awareness of the horrible disease. Thank you for the message.

Hello Donna: I am so sorry you are not feeling well today, that sinus gunk can REALLY bring one down! Hope the meds "kick in" very soon. And the dreams again, I truly have that in my prayers, specifically, to turn from what they are now to only dreams of comfort. You mentioned maybe Adam is "calling you home". Oh how wonderful Heaven will be when it is our time, but please don't wish it too soon for you have such a wonderful son on Earth to live to see grow up, a husband that loves you and so many friends and family that care for you. And so much to accomplish with your cancer "crusade". I know you already know all of this, but just had to "share from my heart". :) You are a wonderful person, Mom, wife and friend! I am so blessed to be your internet friend. :) I am praying for Andrew too, how difficult it is for him to grow up without his little brother...to often feel such sadness and lonliness. I am so sorry for all that you and your family has to bear without your precious Adam with you. I've popped a card in the mail - one for you and one for Andrew, I hope it lifts your hearts just a little bit. Grief....what a long and difficult process. But, you have such wonderful Faith and Love for God and I know that will get you through EVERYTHING. And, you know I am always here for you. :)
Blessings,
Eileen

Hi Donna,

Thank you for visiting Kathernine's site. I haven't done a very good job updating it the past month. It has been really tough on me. I think it is great how you and your husband have done so much to fight childhood cancer. I want to do this to honor Katherine. However, right now I am just not feeling strong enough.

I am sorry to read about your dream. I understand how scarey dreams like this can be. Please know I think about you often. I would like to meet you if you ever come to Houston. I live on the northwest side just off Spring Cypress and 290.

Take Care,

Hello my Friend! I am so sorry for that dream, how awful for you. :( Hoping for ONLY sweet dreams from here on out. Been busy here. Kyle now belongs to a group called HeartWarmers - it is done through his school. He goes for an hour and a half each Monday after school to a Nursing Home and visits and plays bingo with the residents and also helps them with things that they cannot do themselves. Today was the 2nd gathering and he is really enjoying it. I am so proud of him! Surprisingly, he is the ONLY one of 3 that signed up from his school that showed up last week and this week! That is a bit disheartening, but it is still early in the school year with lots of sports activities going on...maybe at the conclusion of that more will join. But, as Kyle said - even one person can make a difference! Well said Kyle! Well, it is late and I need to get some sleep - 5 a.m. comes early!

We had pictures to be taken for the church directory after service was over and then we had to review the pics to see if we wanted any for purchase. I just chose some wallets, they get quite expensive when they try to sell you their "packages". Along with the fact I hate my picture being taken, LOL....but the ones of Kyle came out wonderfully! :) Well, you all have a good nite. I'll be back soon.

You changed out your pictures in the photo album!!! Took a chance and decided to look, so glad I did! Oh they are so very precious!!!!!!!!! I love them all, but how adorable with Adam and the powder - way too cute! Kyle was excited today, he loves to watch the school soccer team during their practices and the lady that coaches them let him "participate" for fun! Oh he was just so, so happy! He really, REALLY wants to play on the team. He thinks he may like to try-out next year. He just isn't really "confident" in his athletic skills, which holds him back.....he's more "mind" oriented, but I told him if he really wants to try he shouldn't let it hold him back. He has improved "athletically" considerably from last year and would only get better with practice. She invited him to participate whenever he wants when they have practice, I told him he definitely should as that would be WONDERFUL practice for him. :) Well, enough of my babbling which I tend to do! LOL You have a terrific evening!

Congradulations on Andrews heifer's. What a great story to tell. Claire said that the reason the one heifer was a little wild was so people would notice it and they would bid more and more money could go to find a cure. I never thought of that, maybe she's right. Also, Happy Belated Birthday wishes to you. I think of you alot, you all are in our prayers.

He is going to move mountains!!! :) But then, he has such fine examples of care and love in his home. You are awesome parents. I am proud to call you "friend". I am sorry for the negativity you are facing, I wish that did not have to be a part of it. But, for all the good that one wants to do...there is someone that comes along trying to knock you down. But, you are right on course...following GOD'S word and example, not societies. As you said, if that were the case you would have been DONE long ago. You will be triumphant. Wishing all things good for you today and always.

Congrats on being able to help CureSearch and congrats to Andrew for his earnings. I missed the pageant, but also heard that the winner was an advocate of childhood cancer, and that is just awesome.

Donna,
I too read your entry in Allie's guestbook. I want to send a thank you for sharing Adam with us. Oh was he so precious. I can't help but cry. I have three kids, 2 boys and a girl. Kyle, my oldest, is 5. He just turned 5 on July 8. My husband and I were talking the other day about the wonders he has done for our lives. Because of Kyle we are so strong in our marriage. Because of Kyle, we have 2 beautiful babies (Jack - almost 20 months, and Cecilia almost 7 months). I don't think my son will ever comprehend the wonders he has brought to our lives. I read your son's site and thought how Adam brought wonders to you and your husband. Thank you for reminding me to go give him a huge hug! I will add your site to my favorites to keep up on your goals with fundraising. Thank you for helping to find a cure so no one else will need to endure the loss of their loved one. That is so generous of you to think of others in that way.
Love, Leslie and Tim

I am planning on trying to donate platelets every month, still working on it :) My husband, 32, was diagnosed with multiple myeloma this year, we will be in seattle for an auto followed by an allo transplant, while I"m there I hope to donate. It is something I can do, even if we have no money right now. My children are 2 and 10 months, reading about adam and allie makes me hug them extra close. Big hugs to you and your family!

Hope you have a fine, relaxing Labor Day weekend with your loved ones. There is a huge festival that goes on in a near-by town with over 500 crafters---I LOVE crafts! Also, a carnival and lots-0-food! :) It is always so much fun and Mom and I make it an annual event - have only missed a couple of times in the last 10 years or so. We rarely buy any of the crafts for ourselves but love to look at the creativity of the people and I often try to go home and replicate it for myself. Often buy items for Christmas presents though. And, of course, the food is marvelous so we enjoy that---a little too much actually! LOL Kyle is going to "pass" on going this year. :( Crafts are just NOT his thing and he is 10....so I am glad he went as many years as he did. :) Well, you have a good day and peaceful long weekend.

I am now recovering from a severe case of strep throat. I sent Kyle to Grandma's for a couple of days in an ATTEMPT to NOT pass this on to him because it was so bad.

Good evening! Just wanted to stop in and commend you on all the efforts you put forth in Adam's Angels Ministry. What a blessing you are to so many and I pray the Ministry takes "flight like angels" for you.....so much greatness will come from this! Leaving you tonight with a page from the book entitled: "Daily in You Presence"

MY SUPPORT
"They confronted me in the day of my diaster, but the Lord was my support". PSALM 18:18

FROM THE FATHER'S HEART
My child, in the midst of deep waters, I will draw you out. When lightning bolts of disaster strike your heart, I will repair the damage. In your distress you can call on Me, for I will be your support. The cords of death will not over-whelm you. When you feel everything around you shaking loose, take heart. Lean hard on Me. I'm here for you. I'll lift you up.

A GRATEFUL RESPONSE
Stormy winds can beat against me, but You, Lord, are my support. You pick me up when I fall, and You prop me up when I'm leaning. Against natures' force, I'm at Your mercy. I am not strong enough to make it on my own. But, You, Lord, are always there, reaching for my hand. Thank You, Lord for holding on to me.

SIMPLE TRUTH
You never know what faith can do until you step into the water.

This page just "struck" me as fitting tonight, for it reminds me that though Satan delivers his "lightening bolts" to your efforts, and may make you feel as though he is trying to "shake everything loose", our Gracious Heavenly Father is there "in your distress as you call upon Him". You can "take heart and lean hard upon Him and he WILL lift you"! He is "always there reaching for your hand".

What a wonderful thought and beautiful feeling!!! May you and ALL of those that you touch through this Ministry be greatly BLESSED through all the efforts and LOVE put forth!
I am so proud and honored to have been led to Adam's page some time ago, God has blessed me by leading me here.

Love, Eileen

Hi, Donna:

I just got a chance to read through your journal entries about your summer trips. I am so glad that you guys were able to be in Washington, D.C.! I think it was also good for the boys! God is surely using you both for His glory! I know that you all were a great witness for Him on your trip. We think about Adam and you daily and pray for your strength. We know that as the days move forward it is hard to do it without Adam. It is our prayer that you will have a good week and that God will supply the peace and strength you need! We also pray that your mother is feeling better. Please keep me updated on your plans for Childhood Cancer Awareness in September and let me know if you need me to call, write or put up signs, etc. I will be talking with you soon.

But, I can only sit for short periods...but I am getting there and SO HAPPY to be back! :) I also wanted to thank you for the links you have recently sent me...I have bookmarked them and will be getting to them on a regular basis ASAP. :) Kyle says thanks for the birthday wishes and he does "know" you in a sense....for I tell him all about my special internet friends!

Bailey never misses a chance to visit Adam when she visits her "Big Brother, Grant"; she also prays for Adam every night. We all know Adam is doing just fine, has no worries and is enjoying spending eternal life with Jesus. We are also praying for your Mom and the Dr's. so they can soon diagnose her illness and have the knowledge to treat it.
We love you guys,
Janice, Mike and Bailey

Dear Tim and Donna,
I spoke with you last summer when you contacted the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation for guidance in getting an organization started in Adam's memory. I was reviewing and updating some files, so I thought I would go online to find out how your efforts were progressing. It is very touching to read Adam's story and see the progress you are making with Adam's Angels Ministry. I wish you continued success. My thoughts and prayers continue to be with you as you cope with your grief and work to turn your loss into something that will make this world a better place.

Hey Cullivers,
Just want you to know that although we don't often get a chance for indepth chats as we pass through church and school, we want you to know we lift your family up daily in prayer, and are praising God for the strength and comfort he is supplying you. We love you so much and are grateful for the work you are carrying on in Adam's name.

LOL Kyle and I will spend the day getting ready for his party and taking my Mom on some errands. He is sooooo excited for his birthday this weekend. He will be 10, so neat to see things through the eyes of our children. He is such a blessing to me. Well, hoping today finds you feeling well and finding precious "moments" in each day.

Hi Ms.Donna
Now I know why you looked right past me Wednesday. You have alot on your mind. Understandbly, too much, but you are one strong person. Everytime I see you, you have a smile on your face and a kind word to say. We love you Donna, very much and are hoping for good results for your mom. I know how hard it is to see your parents in pain and sickness. Take care-good thoughts coming your way......
Lots of Love-Sheri & friends at About Hair

Hi Donna:
You will never know how honored I was to see your e-mail to me alone, as a mommy who would care! I cannot even imagine going through the pain you have endured. We all go on with our lives but you cannot possibly. My Granny (who died in May) once talked to me about a miscarriage she had. She couldn't imagine what she had done to deserve this. She didn't know why. She was tormented day and night about this loss. One day when she was praying and God spoke to her and said, "Would you rather I take one that you know, or one that you didn't know?" That cured her blues. She is now in heaven with Violet. I'll bet she loves on her every day!
Oh Donna, I am so unworthy of finding any words that could make you feel better. You have so many friends that love and care about you. I know how they have kept a constant vigil over you. God blessed you with such great support system. Thank you for opening the door for me to write a few words to you. You are such pillar of strenght!
You are an incredible woman with so much depth.

Brenham, Tx - Monday, August 2, 2004 8:54 PM CDT

Thank you Donna, you made me cry! :) You are very welcome, I am "honored" to be your friend and feel blessed to have found Adam's page through my Caringbridge travels. You and your family have become very special to me and touched my life through your journey. God has blessed me in so many ways by allowing me to be led to these wonderful children and their families. God receives ALL the glory! :)

So, the medical journey continues with your Mom. Oh how I hate the waiting game, I don't always have the patience I need to wait for things like that! Want answers NOW. But, life just is not like that and I have learned a much greater patience by learning to just believe that things will happen in HIS time, not mine. :) I will keep praying for her.

It's nice to read that you are "coming around" again. I am sure that you will go through MANY cycles of that, just wanting to "hide away". But you have a very good outlook - to live fully for the son you have here and to honor Adam and his memory at his gravesite and in private. Although, yes---the pain will always be there. It must feel as though you are 2 different people at times. "Putting on a face" for others, but feeling COMPLETELY different on the inside. Over time though, I just KNOW God will see to it that there is a feeling of TRUE JOY in your heart and less pain....more good, happy memories that will out-weigh the heartache. I do pray for that for you. :)

Well, you know I'll be back right soon! LOL Take good care in the meantime.
Love, Eileen

Ok, you must be tired of me by now! LOL Hoping you are well and hoping Mom's results are back and that they are not "bad". August will be busy for Kyle and I. His birthday and party, a wedding, other friends/families birthdays and our County Fair. Plus, I want to think of something special and fun to do the week I am on vacation which is the week before he returns to school. Something to look forward to so going back to school and "missing" summer will be a little easier - for BOTH of us! :) So, I think this month will be fun for him and I. We LOVE the Fair--we go every year. Kyle for the rides and me for the corn dogs and elephant ears! :) For his birthday, I am taking him to a glow-in-the-dark mini golf course. We went a couple of years ago, it's about an hour and a half away. But, he loved it so much that he wants to do that on his birthday again this year. Well, I will close for now---also, I will be sending you a small little something in the mail on Monday. Nothing big, just something to let you know I was thinkin' of you!
Take good care.

Hope today's a better day! Also, here's a poem for you that I hope you like! :)
I'll Be There

If ever there's a moment When you need a friend to listen, If ever someone can reach out To dry the tears that glisten, I'll be there.

If ever you have special needs And hope someone will see them, If ever you have secrets And would like a friend to free them, I'll be there.

If you just need encouragement To help you on the way, If you just need a cheerful voice To pull you through the day, I'll be there.

If you need one who cares a lot And thinks about you often, If you need one who shares your hopes- Your worries strives to soften, I'll be there.

If you would like to be yourself With someone who respects you, If you need one who understands How all of life affects you, I'll be there.

~Unknown

We can ALL use friends! :) I am always available to try to help encourage you, inspire you and move you towards better days! Please feel free to ask anytime--I'm only an email or guestbook entry away! God bless, Eileen

Hi Donna: My heart is hurting for you today, I often feel at a loss for words as to what to say when the struggles are so profound. Sometimes just best to know that I care and will listen ANYTIME. :) I am praying for your Mom also. My Mom has a form of leukemia that the elderly get, the name always "escapes" me though. So, I do know what it's like to live with that situation. She is doing well at this time though and I focus on that. :) Please don't feel "abandoned", for God loves you completely - He will NEVER leave you, He will never forsake you! I know you know that, and that you will continue to lean on Him. Hope today finds you feeling stronger. Take good care my friend.

OH, it just gave me "chills" when I read your journal today about the little boy named Adam next to you and in the book! I believe it is truly God's way of "showing" you that Adam IS always with you! God's trying to comfort you---although it must be terribly, emotionally "shaking" - I think, in time, it will become "comforting" to you, I certainly pray that will be true! :) Glad your travels are going well - have a safe trip home. Look forward to reading more of the "details" of the trip. So the "boys" going to church camp for a week and Mom on her own? Hope the "quiet time" at Adam's gravesite brings you peace and comfort. I will continue to keep your Mom in my prayers also. God is good, through all our trials and tribulations - he will NEVER leave us!

Donna: The lodge sounds lovely! I am so glad you went and that a room was available - I am so inspired by the strength and courage you show by doing these types of things. Although they bring great sadness, they are also good for your soul AND such a beautiful way to honor Adam! He would truly want you to be doing these things! I believe that. May God continue to bless you richly with His Graces and empower you to move forward and spread the word for the cause. What a way to honor the life of a boy that so loved life himself! Adam must surely be smiling down upon you everyday - he was proud of you here on Earth and he is proud of you in his Heavenly home. And I am proud of you too! :)
Peace be with you,

I, too, TRULY hope one day we meet - how awesome that would be! There are a few that have become so very near and dear to my heart through caringbridge that I honestly would love to meet face-to-face - and YOU are one of them. :) And it IS one of my goals in life to manage to meet them one day. And if it is in God's plans, it will most certainly happen - in His time. What a wonderful road trip THAT would be! :) 20.00 fare to get about wherever you want in D.C.?? That's great! Kyle and I just took the train downtown to Chicago this past Friday to the museum of Science and Industry - we really enjoy that. Don't get down there nearly as much as we like, but it sure is the way to travel. 8.00 roundtrip for me and free for Kyle, good deal! I think our next trip will be to Lincoln Park Zoo in downtown Chicago - it's free admission too. Ok, babbled long enough here, I will be back very soon to check in on your travels. Found this prayer at beliefnet.com under prayers for travelers and wanted to leave it here for you. Blessings to you all, Eileen

I'm glad that you are there safe and with a wonderful room. We thought about you yesterday. We were in Brenham for a family reunion and Madison and Dalton wanted to go visit Pa's (Nelson's) grave. After we stopped there, both of them asked if we could go see Adam's. My kids never knew Adam, but because he was Kyler's friend, they always ask about him and wanted to check on him yesterday. May you accomplish everything God desires for you to accomplish during this trip.

Oh Donna,
Adam will NEVER ever be forgotten. As I sat at Kindergarten Graduation, I looked up at you and Tim many times in the balcony and saw your tears. I felt my throat go into the pit of my stop to see you and Tim in so much pain. We love you guys so very much and it drives me crazy to know that nothing I can do can take your pain away. Please know that Adam is never going to be forgotten, especially through our children who were friends with him. Kyler talks about him all the time and will call out his initials for no reason. It is the strangest thing, he will go "Mom, A.C." I will ask him what he is talking about and he says,"Don't you remember, it means Adam Culliver."

Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous hand. Isaiah 41:10

And it broke my heart knowing that he was not included somehow or someway. Like so many others, I can't pretend that I know what you are going through. But please know that you and your family are constantly in our prayers. I do check on you through this website constantly. This is my first time to sign the guestbook.

Donna, my heart breaks for you as I read your journal today. I can tell you one thing - I will never forget Adam. I remember Stacey and Tina telling us about Adam and asking us to pray for him and then later telling us that he passed away. Adam was the first child so young that I knew of that passed away from cancer. Then Stacey was diagnosed, and then Nelson. And then Nelson passed away. During all of this I have discovered so many sites on caringbridge - most children. I can't pretend to know how you feel, because I do not. But I can tell you that Adam helped change my life. Cancer is horrible and more needs to be done to find a cure. I am so proud of everything that you and Tim are doing to help raise money to find a way to stop childhood cancer. Stay strong, Donna, and know that I am always praying for you.

Remembrance is a golden chain
Death tries to break, but all in vain.
To have, to love, and then to part
Is the greatest sorrow of one's heart.

The years may wipe out many things
But some they wipe out never.
Like memories of those happy times
When we were all together.

You know how I love to read your entries - and even through your pain I can see the strong person that you are. I would be interested in signing the petition if that is possible. Could you email me and let me know how I can do that? Well, keeping you close in thought and prayer as always. God bless,
Eileen

Donna,
Just a quick note because you are on my mind today. I was reading you journal entry from yesterday and continue to admire your strength. Even when you don't feel strong...I see strength in you. Just want you to know how special you are to me and I thank the Lord for your special family. As Hadley says...maybe our mansions will be built next to each other in Heaven so we can still play.

I was so happy to read that maybe iron will do the "trick" for your Mom! :) And that was wonderful news on the Relay for Life info! Hoping today finds you more "chipper". The Y-Me Walk for breast cancer yesterday was AWESOME. Kyle and I had one of the best Mother's Days ever. Over 25,000 people attended and over 2.5 million $'s was raised - woooohoooo! After the walk, we went to the Shedd Aquarium just down the steet from Grant Park in Chicago and spent the afternoon there viewing all the exhibits and a dolphin show. Then, we picked up my friend's dog - I am doggy sitting til Thursday - yes,......with FIVE cats, that proves VERY INTERESTING! lol Well, just wanted to stop by and say hello and wish you a good day. God bless, Eileen

Hello Donna: Thank you for checking on me - that was so encouraging. Things are still a day-to-day thing for me. But isn't that the way for most of us really? I don't generally get into "details" because I feel ALL of you are going through far, far worse than I and I don't intend my page to be used for "me"--I TRY to always provide ENCOURAGEMENT and not "unload" my stuff on my visitors. So, occasionally I have to "step" away when I feel I am unable to provide the "upbeat" attitude that I want to spread around. :) Life has it's difficulties for us all, yet I find the best way to pull my self back UP is by keeping my Faith strong and by focusing on helping others and trying not to "dwell" on my problems. So, I NEEDED to get back making the rounds to some of my favorite caringbridge families. Even if I do not sign everyday, please know that you ARE in my thoughts and prayers daily.
I will be back soon, but when you don't 'see' me here - please know you are in my heart. Thanks so much. Love, Eileen

I hope you all are having a great time at the relay for life. I'm so sad I am not able to be there. I would love to see all of those gold ribbons you've passed out to increase awareness about childhood cancer. Then I had a thought, I wonder if we could do something like that at the Houston relay for life????? It's something to think about.
Love you guys!

Anyway - From Mother Theresa

Mother Teresa hung a copy of this poem on a wall of the orphanage she founded in Calcutta. Its source is unknown.

People are often unreasonable,
illogical and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind,
People may accuse you
of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be Kind anyway.

If you are successful,
you will win some false friends and
some true enemies;
Succeed anyway. people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building,
someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway

If you find serenity and happiness,
they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today,
people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have,
and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis.
it is between you and God;
It is never between you and them anyway.

But you know what they say:things happen in life for a reason. Just I'm not sure what the reason is. I'm 12 and I'm trying to imagen what that feels like but I don't think I can feel it like you can.I don't know what I'd do with my self. He was such a cutie by the way!

Meeting 'Adam', through the eyes & heart of his Mother & Grandmother last evening, was a special moment that I will treasure always. It brings back to the forefront of my mind that God uses each & every one of us to help in completeing his mission here on earth. While the loss of one beautiful little boy, seems like that...just the loss of one child...look at what has occurred !!! By taking the evil that one of Satan's diseases has caused, God has turned it against him, and used it to spread, unify and build a bigger & stronger army. A 'special army' being headed up by a 'special soilder'...Adam. My prayers are with you Donna, and your family today. Love, Sharon Price, RN

Donna, Just wanted to tell you to keep on crying. I still 2 years later am hit by the oddest things and cry sometimes hysterically. Andrew died after being treated for a year and a month at TCH for Wilm's Tumor kidney cancer. We were given a 90% chance on the day of diagnosis and that was the last positive words we heard. They are such wonderful doctors and nurses. It really was tough on everyone to lose a 90% chancer. He never improved at all just went down hill. But we had one wonderful year. I wish you had had that year to say goodbye. I can't even imagine the abruptness of it all for you. Like a nightmare and over so quickly. Our family really benefitted from Bo's Place here in Houston (by the children's museum) We met every other week. I know it would be quite a drive for you but it may be worth it if there are no programs for children and families in Bryan. It really helped our then 6 year old son. God bless you and give you strength.

Whoah.....just reading along and there's mention of me on your page - that was cool! :) Had to read twice to be sure I read that right - that was so nice of you, Thank you! Nice to know that it helps you, that is all I ever wish for--to just help in some small way. Yes, I am here reading again! lol You sure HAVE been busy, but that is good. Keeps one's mind occupied, right? The court yard/landscaping sounds lovely. Would love to see a picture in the photo album when complete. :) Not a gardener myself, wish I was. I do manage some pretty potted plants and flowers on the deck though. :) Even grew some potted jalepeno's last year, was so proud of myself. I am looking forward to next week, my son is on Spring break. Woooohoooo--we will have a wonderful, terrific time just "hanging-out" together. Well, I will close for now. I will be back soon. Right now, Kyle and I are off to Barnes and Noble (a bookstore) where we LOVE TO READ!! Haven't been there in a couple weeks and we are definitely suffering withdrawl. lol Remembering you, praying for you.

Good afternoon: Ran across this poem and thought of your little Precious. Thinking of you, Eileen

My Angel Son.

The morning dawn ascends so bright,
The world unfolds within it's light,
Hearts are merry and filled with joy;
But mine's of sorrow, o're my boy.

For he no longer shares my life,
And loving memories are not suffice,
I try so hard to smile within,
It seems impossible, without him.

To fill my heart with joy and glee,
I need my son, right here with me!
Our dreams, our future where stolen from us,
I'll never know why, it's all so unjust.

Since time cannot erase my love
For my son who now resides above,
I'll live my life with a heavy heart
Until that time we'll never part.

So morning dawn ascend so bright,
I'll do my best to *see* your light,
With hope and dreams for a better day,
I'll seek to understand as I kneel to pray....

"God, please love him as I do,
And may I also ask of you?
Tell him his mom worships him so,
She thinks of him always..I just want him to know.
Thank you God, I know you'll do right,
And thank you for the dawn so bright."

I CAN ONLY IMAGINE

I can only imagine what it will be like
When I walk by Your side
I can only imagine what my eyes will see
When Your face is before me
I can only imagine
I can only imagine

(Chorus next)
Surrounded by Your glory
What will my heart feel?
Will I dance for You Jesus?
Or in awe of You be still?
Will I stand in Your presence?
Or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing hallelujah?
Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine
I can only imagine

I can only imagine when that day comes
And I find myself standing in the sun
I can only imagine when all I will do
Is forever, forever worship You
I can only imagine
I can only imagine

(chorus 2x)(ad-lib)

I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever, forever worship You
I can only imagine.

Thinking of you and your little precious today. I hope you don't mind that I put the lyrics to that beautiful song here. I wanted to share them with any other visitors that came by. No longer does your precious have to "imagine", he now knows all the Glories of the Lord in Heaven!

As I came in to check my email I moved the mouse to clear away the screensaver and what was sitting there staring me in the face but Adam's page. I was a bit surprised by this because I knew the last thing I had done on my computer last night was to restart it then I headed for bed. I figured something important had happened so I read down the page and saw your entry about Abby. I went and signed her guestbook immediately and then went and checked on a few others I've been keeping tabs on. How heartbreaking that news was. I do know that Adam was there to welcome her home. I'm quite sure he's been playing with her dogs until she got there. I will be praying for Andrew. It sounds like he may be coming to terms, with Adam's loss, in his own way. I know he is an awesome kid who will grow up to be an incredible man. Love to you, Tim, Andrew and your Mom!

Houston, TX - Sunday, March 14, 2004 11:25 AM CST

That is absolutely BEAUTIFUL AND PROFOUND what Andrew said. Tears are streaming now. It is so difficult, it just seems that no parent, no sibling, NO ONE - should have to lose a child from their life. And it is so difficult to understand WHY children should have to pass. I know we will never know WHY, at least not now-perhaps upon our arrival in Heaven. I am NOT questioning God, I KNOW His will is what is right. But, it hurts terribly. As HUMANS we cannot help being selfish and wanting to keep them here with us. It is only natural. You and your family continue on in my prayers. God bless you all.

So inspiring you are, YES God is our CONSTANT. And so sorry that Andrew is missing his brother - how hard it must be on him also. How old is Andrew? I know he is older than Adam -I was just wondering.

After the darkness the
daylight shines through.
After the showers

I wish I was up on my computer skills so codys page could be a little better...Maybe someday! Your words are so beautiful and inspirational I always end up crying by time I am done reading your sight. I really wish I was better with my words but I cant always get them out. I did leave you a message one time regarding how your other son was doing. If I remember correctly you had two children. I was wondering how he was doing wothout his little brother. My daughter is having a terrible time. she is so lonely without her brother. I would love to keep in touch. I have also sent you an invitation to a web sight another mother and I created for parents who have lost a child to cancer. I envy all you are able to do in memory of your son. I had been wanting to do something for cody but my ambition isnt there. I just fall apart. Good to hear form you.

Hello, Eileen is back again! LOL Truly, I am DRAWN to this site. Your journals are so captivating! You really make your readers "feel" what you are saying. That is a gift! Wish I could so eloquently put into words my feelings on my site as you do yours. Thank you for allowing me to add Adam's link on my page. I did so today. Also, in church this evening, he was included in my prayers for all the dear children I hold close to my heart thanks to my website and ALL children that are suffering or are "angels". The part you wrote about the flowers, made me cry - for my son (Kyle-9) is the same way--he won't even pick a dandelion because it will "hurt the pretty flower" as he says. Isn't it precious - through the eyes of a child it is a "pretty flower" and yet as we age - most adults see them as "weeds". We can learn SO MUCH from our children. One only needs to open their heart and truly listen to their sweet, innocent messages. I am forever grateful for my blessings - of which being blessed to be Kyle's Mom is my greatest!! God bless you and may you ALWAYS feel His loving arms around you. Take care and I will check in again soon.

Thank you for signing! :) Yes, it is SO nice to see entries in the guestbook - even my own - it is so very uplifting when someone takes the time to stop in and "share". I actually "lean" towards MANY of the 'angels' pages, for I feel that as time goes on people "forget" (not intentionally, it is just that life goes on for them) that the family is in a daily struggle to go on. I feel that the 'angel' families need just as much, if not more, support - they truly need to know their precious one (and themselves) are NOT forgotton. I will be honored to visit here often and sign your guestbook. In fact, would it be ok if I add your beautiful son's page to my links? Please let me know if that is ok and I will be pleased to do so. If you've ever the need to talk when you feel you are 'alone', please don't hesitate to email me. I will be glad to offer a shoulder as comfort. God bless, Eileen

What a wonderful little boy. Thank you for sharing him.
I, too, am participating in a Relay for Life here in Canada.
We are hoping to have a display of pictures of loved ones and friends that have fought this disease or who are fighting it as we speak. I would be honoured if you would let us use a picture of Adam. Please email me if that would be possible.
You and your family will be in my prayers.

Thank you so much for sharing him with us...

Donna, I am so sorry that you have had to go through this pain. I could not imagine loosing my little one to such a horrible thing. My oldest daughter has done a lot for some cancer kids that she has met. She has raised money for them and teddy bears for those in the hospital, and I think it would be very hard on her if she lost her baby sister too.

You are a very stong woman and I admire you for this. Stay strong and the Lord will bring you through all of this. I will keep you in my prayers.

Donna, I check Adam's site daily to check on your family. You are in my prayers constantly. I cannot imagine what this last year has been like for you, but your sharing through your journal gives me a small glimpse. Everything that you and Tim are doing in Adam's memory is to be admired. I am looking forward to participating in the Relay for Life with you and being able to make more people aware of childhood cancers. May God continue to wrap his arms around your family and give you comfort, and may Adam's memory live on!

Thank you for being so brave as to share his story with us... it gives me chill-bumps to read your journals... filled with such emotion and honesty. Continue to find strenghth in God and your family.

I never met Adam, but learned of him when I was attending First Baptist school on the day of his funeral to tell stories to the students there. They had thought of rescheduling my visit, but decided it might be helpful to the students if I came that day. I was so moved by Adam's story that I went home and wrote down all that I could remember from what Mrs. Fritz had shared. I later lost my journal, but continue to remember some of the stories I was told, and to be impressed by the love that this precious child had for Jesus, as well as by the way in which those who met him were able to see Jesus in him. Adam's life and legacy are a challenge to us all to let Jesus live in and shine through us. What a special, special gift he is to your family and to us all. Thank you for sharing your memories of him in this way.

It is amazing that you can share your son's short journey through his illness in this journal. It shows that there is hope when there is nothing else and that one year later you are living life with a new perspective.
Adam touched so many lives in the brief time he was here on earth, and he continues to touch lives today through your words.
Peace and comfort!

Dear Culliver Family,
We were sent from Kendrie's site, but as soon as I arrived, I realized I had seen your site before...who could ever forget that precious, gorgeous child? My heart breaks, it physically hurts for your pain...it also struck fear deep into my heart, for I have a son whom right now is almost the same age as Adam was the day your nightmare began. It is so patently obvious that you had a spectacularily special son, and I bet he just SHINES on as an Angel in Heaven...still touching so many lives. God bless you all,

Hey guys-thinking about everything that has been going on the last couple of days. Also did want to let you know I did make it home OK. My aunt had to take me home and my cousin ended up driving my truck. I would have stayed but needed my medicine because I ended up getting sick all the way home. I am glad I went but I do have to admit that I was a little to much for me. I was very hard for me and I know it was for you. I had a great time at dinner and we will have to do that again whether it is there in Brenham or here in Houston. Donna give me a call this weekend Ok. Lots of love.

Kendrie's mom included your son's website on her list of 100 and I decided to visit all 100 kids. I never realized how many kids have leukemia and how many kids are not cured. It makes me realize that this disease needs much more attention than it is getting. For this new awareness, I thank you and parents like you who share your children on CB sites.
Your son was adorable and I know he is very much missed and love. Please accept my condolences.

Donna, Tim, and Andrew,
I've been thinking about you and praying for you all day. I am so sad I am unable to make Adam's celebration of life. I know it will be a beautiful memorial. I have been thinking of this time last year. I remember when Renea Wellman first called me and told me Adam was ill, then the calls to the hospital, church office and school office to see how Adam was doing. When I got the call on Monday the 20th I just sunk to my knees and cried. Sometimes it seems so long ago and then it feels like it was just yesterday. You know you all hold a very special place in my heart. When I get very sad I close my eyes and think of Adam looking back over his shoulder and shaking his butt at everyone. That brings a smile. What an awesome little guy. I think what you are doing (Adam's Angels) is just as awesome. My love to all of you and God's blessings upon this new adventure.

I have had you and little Adam on my mind all day. I just couldn't get you out of my mind.
Adam is with Our Lord Jesus. Sweet and full of joy and praise.
May he forever rest in peace.
Probally looking down on you this hour and smiling.
This is a special day for me as well. My grandfather was buried on this day the 20th. He died on the 16th.
I am keeping you and your LITTLE ANGEL ADAM IN MY PRAYERS.
Maybe some day he will meet my Charlene who earned her angel wings 9/6/98.

Dear Donna, Tim, and Andrew,
I believe today marks the date we first met last year, under much worse circumstances. I do hope the past year has offered a time of healing, reflection, worshipping, and of laughter and happy memories for you. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to meet Adam, although briefly, and to have shared in his legacy, which lives on through you all and his wonderful family and friends. I am particularly happy to have met his older brother, whom I suspect will remain an intellectual challenge for me in the years to come.
With much respect and love,
Lisa

Donna...I came upon your website via another. Needless to say by time I was done reading your home page I was crying. I am so sorry you are having a rough time. I actually came to your sight in hopes to find out that the grieving process might be a little better further out. i dont think it is going to get any better. We lost our son cody 7/26/2003..3 days after his 7th birthday. We have another child too , a daughter who has been having a very difficult time missing her brother and now becomming an only child. It sounds like your other child is a litle older. I was wondering how he was doing? I try talking to my daughter and she attended a class through hospice just for kids but I was wondering if you might have any suggestions??? Cody sight is www.caringbridge.org/mi/codyspage I will add you to my prayer list along with some other mothers i know who have also lost their child in the past year for prayers of strength and courage to get through this tough time. peace be with you, your husband and son JIll codys mommy forever

You have been in our prayers and thoughts so much this past year. It seems like only yesterday we were at the hospital in shock at the news we were hearing about Adam. I know this year has been so long. The longing to hold Adam in your arms again. That day will come and you will be able to hold him. We know that God loves our children even more than we do. That is so hard to realize. We take comfort in knowing that Adam is in the best place ever, where there is not pain, fear, sadness, sorrow or worries! Please call on me whenever you are having a bad day, because you are already on our hearts and minds. I would love to talk. Praying for you tonight and this week!

I can certainly understand Andrew's feelings of not having a Christmas tree this year. I, too, didn't want one and then my daughter, Jeanette, asked if we could have a tree decorated with angels and butterflies. I'm sure it will be beautiful--just as our Jalen is.

Take care and please keep in touch...

Donna...I found your site through Dustin's page. I wanted to come by and introduce myself to you. I lost my precious grandson to AML 6 months ago. Jalen had an 8 month battle with AML and his passing has left me with the biggest void I could ever have imagined. (Jalen lived with me from the time he was 5 months old and was 17 1/2 months old when he earned his angel wings.) They say that time heals and I'm really hoping they're right because, so far, nothing has helped--even weekly grief counseling.

What a beautiful angel your son, Adam, is. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. May God give you added strength to get through these very difficult holidays.

Much love...

Dear Donna,
Never in a million years, did you think your job as a mother, would be to bury your child. After reading your site, I went into the kitchen where my daughter, Hannah, was coloring. The site of her shook loose the tears for you, and your family. I fled into the nearby bathroom, closed the door and turned on the fan to cover the sounds of my grief-grief for an angel who has gone from earth to heaven and grief for my little angel who brings heaven to earth for us.
The seasons have indeed changed for us as cancer has blown an icy wind through the beauty and peace of our lives. But that cold wind doesn't have to blow away the color, the beauty, or the joy of the season at hand.
I just have to keep reminding myself that life comes in seasons. God brings comfort to a soul that has been slashed by pain. I truly, am so so sorry, for your loss. I will pray for you and your family, daily.
Gently,

Dear Tim and Donna-

I do not know if you will even remember me, but ya'll had come to Texas Children's to visit the 7th floor but you also had heard about my son Dustin Little through one of your family members that works with my aunt at Sealy Mattress. Your story had touched me in so many way. I have been afraid to look at this site and I finally had enough nerves to do so. As you may not remember, Dustin has AML-M1 and so far has been doing ok. He relasped for the first time sometime around the end of May. He will have to have a Bone Marrow Transplant in August if we want this to be cured. I have finally set up his on web page here also,(tx/dustinlittle). It would be great to here from ya'll again, because lord knows that I could use the support. I am very sorry for yall's loss and maybe some day real soon when we are in Brehnam visit my aunt I could stop by to visit.

Tim, Donna, and Andrew,
I just wanted to let you know that I was thinking of you today. I wish there was something I could do to ease your pain over the loss of your precious Adam. I have his pictures on my bulletin board above my computer and I look at them every day and think of your sweet baby boy in the arms of his sweet Jesus. I just wanted to let you all know that my love, thoughts and prayers are with you always.

My dear "little precious",

I CAN ONLY IMAGINE, remember that song, how you loved it. You do not have to imagine anymore little precious. You know what heaven is like, about Jesus walking on water, changing the water into wine, etc. You have the ultimate teacher now, teaching you all those lessons you learned here on earth. You were his disciple here on earth and now even after you have left this earth your little discipleship is being passed on and many people have come to know the Lord because of your love for him. But, I don't have to tell you this, you already know it.

There is not a minute of the day that I do not think about you and your precious little, contagious smile. I miss seeing that physical smile, although I can feel it from heaven everyday. Oh how happy you must be getting to personally meet your "sweet Jesus" as you always called him. He is so very lucky to have you close by his side at all times. I know you have asked him every question that asked us here on earth. Now, you have the answers from him. I cannot wait until we meet and you can share those answers with me.

I know on May 11th you were reunited with Papaw Heintz. Oh, what a happy day that must have been for the both of you. I can just see you now leading papaw by the hand showing him all the wonderful things that go on in your permanent heavenly home. He was so ready to come see you. Before he went to sleep he told me he was going to go be with you and that he would give you a big kiss. I am jealous. He got to be with you before me. I know you are taking care of each other and now I am so lucky to have two angels looking after me.

Until we meet again, my little precious, you are in my every thought and prayer. I am at peace because I know you are in the best hands ever. Stay as sweet as you were on earth. Save me some of those hugs and "goat". Night, night kisses always. Until we meet again.

Yours forever,
Mom

Dear Sweet Culliver Family,
This is such a precious momento in Adam's honor. He is still such a huge part of us. He will always be a part of us. Just the impact it has made on me as a mother and my view of our heavenly home awaiting us reminds me of God's grace on us and that he is so much bigger than anything we can imagine. He holds us in his loving hands and carries us through our darkest hour. Donna, Tim and Andrew, I can't imagine the ongoing feeling of loss that you must be experiencing, but, know that you are so loved and have so many friends and family that pray daily for your healing and comfort that only our heavenly father can give.
Thank you, thank you for bringing precious Adam to us for 4 years and 9 months. He lives in us and will ALWAYS live with Kaitlyn throughout her life! (as she claims to someday marry Adam in heaven) What a grand wedding that will be...
Much love to you all,
Kerri Hamilton

To Adam, my friend,
I don t know how to type, so my mom is helping me. What is heaven like? Mrs. Fritz said that I will get to see you again someday and that makes me happy. Does Jesus ever tell you the things I ask him to when I pray at night? Mom says that I can keep you in my heart, like a treasure chest. I miss you. Tell the angels hi and Jesus too. I will give your mom and dad, Mr. Tim, a big hug and kiss and say it is from you. Your dad is my favorite Sunday School teacher, but I haven't been there alot.
I love you Adam. My mom always says we'll be friends forever.

Your friend always,

Today was difficult to get through thinking of how hard it must be for your family to face this Easter without you. Knowing that Easter was your favorite holiday I imagine you must have had an awesome celebration in Heaven. You have touched my life in a profound way and I will never forget you precious little one.

Wow! What a beautiful celebration of Adam's life today, his birthday. I truly believe he was sitting on Jesus' lap and watching as the people who loved him dearly all gathered at his grave to celebrate his 5th birthday with his loving parents. He was and will continue to be a light is so many peoples lives, especially his little friends who came today in hopes that the balloon they let go of would go from their little hands straight up to heaven to Adam. Thank you so much for letting us be apart of his "birthday party"!!!!
Love you guys so much,

To the entire Culliver Family-
I always thought heaven was in the clouds, with angels and harps and golden gates. I had a dream one night and realized that heaven is what each person thinks it is.....so I bet Adam is having a great time singing, playing, smiling and entertaining alot of other angels at this very moment. I did not know Adam, in fact I just recently met Donna, and I can tell from the pictures of Adam, that he is one special angel.
Love and prayers to all of the Culliver Family.
Adam is in his heaven, what a great place that must be.

Please call me anytime you need someone to talk to, or pray with, or cry with.

Dear Tim, Donna, and Andrew,
My heart goes out to each one of you and I will pray each day for each one of you. How thankful I am to know what a powerful witness of Jesus Christ Adam was! Not only have people accepted Jesus as their LORD and Savior but parents are making their children a priority because of Adam's influence. I pray that you will be comforted by the fact that Adam is JUST LIKE JESUS CHRIST--he sees all that you do and he is with you at all times--as the Bible says in 1 John 3:2: "Beloved, now we are the children of God, and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we KNOW that when He is revealed, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM, for we shall see Him as He is."

Adam is very much alive today and I know he's standing around God's throne singing praises to His King! Also, I am thankful that the Holy Spirit is with you and that He will be your Comforter.

I love y'all,

We remember a fun time with him at McDonalds one morning for breakfast after a soccer game of Garrett's. Hadley and he had so much fun playing together. We kept up with him through Tim and Les and we want you to know our thoughts and prayers have been with you. After hearing about the funeral and the "Balloon Lift" of letters to Adam, we admire so much your faith and will always remember your walk. You are very special people.

I feel blessed to have know Adam. I will always remember his contagious smile. He will always be in my thoughts.

Zachary wanted to me to tell you not to worry about Adam, because he is sure that Zoey (his black lab that was hit and killed several months back) met Adam at "The Gate". Zach is happy that Zoey now has a little kid to keep her company, because, as he said, she was such a little kid dog.

Nicholas says that he will miss Adam, but that he will always be ok with God.

Adam touched and amazed many people. I would love to help you keep his "mini ministry" alive. Please let me know what I can do to help you...

Where do I begin? It's hard to imagine that something so tragic, could have changed so many lives for the better. I know it has mine. I have so many wonderful memories of Adam and Jacob and Julianna. Most of them seem to be on one of our major shopping trips (in a mall or in "Ross for Less" running around and acting like wild indians.) I will treasure these forever and ever. Charles and I feel honored and blessed to have known Adam. We love your family as we do our own and our hearts truly ache with yours. We know Adam is with Jesus and that one day we will see him again. Please know that our friendship will only get stronger and that Adam will remain in our hearts ALWAYS! We love you!!

BEAUTIFUL, PRECIOUS ADAM...WHAT A CELEBRATION OF HIS LIFE. MY DEAR DONNA AND TIM..ADAMS FUNERAL WAS SO MOVING...YET, IN THE MIDST OF THE SORROW...I FELT SUCH JOY AND PEACE AND COMFORT AS EACH SONG WAS SANG...EACH WORD SPOKEN OF ADAM...YOUR LITTLE ADAM WAS IN FULL TIME MINISTRY WHILE HE WAS HERE WITH YOU AND I MUST TELL YOU, HIS MINISTRY IS STILL VERY MUCH ALIVE. WHAT A TRIBUTE TO YOU, HIS PARENTS. YOU LOVED THE LORD AND YOUR CHILD SAW AND GRASPED THAT LOVE. WHAT AN AWESOME TRIBUTE TO YOU AS PARENTS. DONNA AND TIM.....NEVER...EVER SECOND GUESS ANY DECISION OR ACTION YOU TOOK IN THIS LITTLE CHILDS LIFE. THIS WOULD ONLY STEAL THE JOY THAT ADAM LEFT IN YOUR HEARTS.

Our prayers are with you at this most difficult time. We became aware of Adam by way of Pam Young, who shared with our Music teachers list. Our church in upstate NY added Adam to our prayer list also. We know he is with God, and you will see him again someday. Peace to you all.

Dear Tim, Donna & Andrew,
My family's prayers have been with you throughout Adam's short illness. Please remember that Adam is in the arms of our Lord and that the Lord will comfort and bless you during the days ahead.

I never had the opportunity to meet Adam but I did get to know Andrew during his years at St. Paul's Christian Day School. Andrew, please know that you are special to me.

Such a tremendous outpouring of love has been shown to the Culliver family. Why? Because a precious little life ended too soon? Yes, in part, but also because of the very special family he leaves behind.
When my Mother was going through Cancer treatment Donna never missed a chance to ask how she was. This meant so much to me because I knew she truly cared. She offered to drive her to Houston for treatments if needed and I know if I had asked she would have said no problem. Tim and Donna do so many more things for the community and the people in the community that no one ever sees. God sees and I know he will bless them for it.
I remember the first day of school when I watched Andrew walk in the doors followed by Adam. Adam was trying to be just like big brother, right down to the "jacked up" hairdo. Such a little doll. I will always smile when I think of Adam.
Adam's death has already changed many lives and will continue to touch and change many more. I know I will always strive to be better as a result of this loss; a better Christian, a better parent, a better friend.
I will continue to pray for your wonderful family and will always appreciate all that you do for us and for others. Even in your time of need you have been there for this community. God Bless you all. We love you.

Dear Precious Friends,
As we said good-bye to Adam today, it was with heavy hearts that we watched your pain and wished so desperately that in some small way we could ease your grief. But in looking around at all of the people, all gathered for the same reason, ADAM......What a testimony to Gods love and faithfulness. You truly raised a Godly little boy. What a wonderful job you did with the little time you had. Dusty and Kaci were both touched today in ways that I have never seen, once again Adam ministering in his precious way. We just want you to know how very much we love you. We want to make our family available to you in any way we can. Bill, Traci, Dusty and Kaci

Even though it is not for us to question as to why our loved ones are taken away so suddenly, you know God has a purpose for Adam in Heaven. Our hearts and our arms are always open to you.

My heart aches for you and there are not words to give you comfort at this time, but God will always be there for you. We don't always understand but I guess that God needed another Angel. I'm sure that my mother-in-law, Dorothy Zientek Hodde, welcomed him into heaven with open arms as she did for so many children. I pray God's blessings and comfort for you.

Dear Tim, Donna, and Andrew,

Words cannot begin to express the sadness we feel for you at the loss of your precious Adam. Our prayer is that God will wrap each of you in His loving arms, and grant you His peace, which passes all understanding. There are some things that we, as humans, don�t understand � and possibly won�t until the Lord calls us home. But until that time, may you find comfort in knowing that Adam is now walking those heavenly streets of gold, and that you have the assurance that you will see him again.

Hi,
We wanted to send our condolences. I am so very sorry that you had to endure the loss of a child. I know first hand that is is one of the biggest heartbreaks. Adam had a purpose here on earth as we all do. He fulfilled that purpose and has now gone back home to be with Jesus. I just wanted you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. I will pray that He will give you strength and a sense of peace as your hearts begin to heal. With much love..........

GOD'S LOAN
"I'll lend to you for a little time,
A child of mine," He said,
"For you to love the while he lives
And mourn for when he's dead.

"It may be six or seven years
Or twenty-two or three,
But will you till I call him back,
Take care of him for me?

"He'll bring his charms to gladden you
And should his stay be brief,
You'll have these precious memories
As solace for your grief.

"I cannot promise he will stay
Since all from earth return.
But there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn.

"I've looked this world over,
In my search for teachers true.
In the crowds that throng life's land,
I have selected you.

"Now will you give him all your love
Not think the labour vain,
Nor hate me when I come to call
To take him back again?"

It seems to me I heard them say,
"Dear Lord, thy will be done.
For all the joys a child shall bring,
The risk of grief we'll run.

"We'll shelter him with tenderness,
We'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known
Forever grateful stay.

"And should the angels call for him
Much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand.

Tim and Donna, I am so sorry for your loss. It is a tragic thing to lose a child - it is so against all the laws of nature and all we expect from life. It has been said the loss of a child is the greatest loss of all. After all, our children are supposed to survive us. We expect our parents, our grandparents, even maybe our spouse to leave us, but not our children. But God, in his infinite wisdom, which we do not understand has plans for each of us. Adam was special. He was here for a purpose. And his memory and his life with you, however brief, will sustain you in years to come. Our daughter died when she was 4 after drowning in our pool. This was 25 years ago. It is still and will always be a deep loss in our hearts. So much lost! But God has been good to us and I know he had a plan for Angella too, just as he has for Adam. Hang on to your faith - and to EACH OTHER. If you ever need to just talk to someone who has been there and knows how you feel, you can always get in touch with me. I can't do much but listen, but I can do that for you. Someone gave me a newspaper cutting of this God's Loan poem after Angie died and I keep it with me. It is yellow and tattered but reading it reminds me we are all here for such a brief time. Every day is a blessing. God Bless and Keep you in His Care during this terrible time in your lives.

My heart goes out to you at this time of sadness in your life. I praise God your son knew Jesus and touched so many lives. What an awesome testimony he was and still is. My prayer for your family is comfort in Christ. He is the only way anyone can get through tough times such as this. I was at a Bible class Tuesday night and the teacher, Cherie Addicks stated that the reason something like this is so tragic is because there is so much love. The more love the bigger the tragedy is. I thought that was an awesome way to see it. God Bless your family.

Dear Tim, Donna and Andrew,
Your prayer request came to us from our dear friends, Teresa and Ronnie Peddy. My heart goes out to you at this time. Tears have been shed on your behalf. Just know that God is standing there beside you. He truly understands your pain as He lost His Son almost 2000 years ago. Allow Him to hold you when you feel that you can't go on. But turn to and hold on to each other...you need each other. I imagine that Adam, being the typical little four year old, is asking so many questions and wanting to see everything. I can just see Jesus laughing and taking him by the hand to tell and show him all that he wants to know. There is no better place for Adam to be. He is in the best of care and you will see him again. God bless you. We will continue to lift you up in our prayers.
Your Family in Christ,

Dear Culliver Family
We recieved a prayer request for your family from Ron & Teresa Peddy regarding the loss of your son. We wept for you and immediately began to pray for you in your time of sorrow. I am encouraged however that as christians we know that your baby is walking with and holding the hand of our Lord and Savior at this very moment. We can also be assured that God is in control and he certainly knows and understands your loss. Therefore we leave you with this scripture. Luke 18:16 But Jesus called the children to him and said " Let the little children come to me , and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these".

Your sweet Adam was brought to our prayer list through my sister, Cindy Davis. It is unimaginable to me to be asked by our Father to endure such pain, but He knows the whole story...beginning to end. He knows the impact that Adam's life and his death will have on untold numbers of people. I rejoice in knowing that He is being cradled by our Father. It is an incredible reminder that our children are "on loan" from God for His ultimate purpose and glory. May His mighty name continue to be glorified by the tremendous witness of Adam and your entire family. We will continue to pray God's comfort for all of your hearts during this time.

Because of all the energy and emotions of the service Jeff decided to be saved. I've been praying for this for a long time. I just wanted you all to know that because of your little Adam, someone has come to know our Lord. Also know that we love you all and will be praying that God may comfort you. Love you all.

A few weeks ago I remember helping Adam, Jacob, and Julianna put together a puzzle in Sunday School and how sweet and helpful Adam was. He will be missed by everyone who ever met him because he was a little angel. I love you

I do not begin to know the weight of your burden as you mourn the loss of that precious angel Adam, but I do know that God gives you the shoulders of family and friends to lean on. Please know that I am here for you if you need me; my prayers have been and continue to be constant for you. May this poem by Michael Sarai be of some comfort to you:
Just when the night is the darkest,
When hope is the farthest from sight,
God's light floods the depths of my
pain-wracked soul
And turns my despair to life.

His grace brings the deepest of comforts;
His presence envelops my pain.
The hope of my life reveals his dear face
And brings me to wholeness again.

You are blessed and will be comforted! ("Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." Matthew 5:4)

Love,
Sherrie Winkelmann

Dear Culliver Family,
I recently learned of your tragedy through my sister, Kim Crenshaw. My own daughter was born with a lung problem and was sent straight to TCH. I remember thinking she wouldn't make it and the pain was unexplainable. I can't begin to imagine what you are experiencing, but I do know that through prayer, all things are possible. I will continue to pray that the Lord will give you peace. Your sister in Christ, Audrau Winkelmann

I always enjoyed seeing Adam turn and look at the Church family during the 9:45 service. In his eyes you could tell he loved Jesus and now he can play with the Angels and look down to see all the people he has touched.

Dear Tim and Donna and Andrew, I have so much sympathy for you all. There is nothing that can take away the pain of losing your precious Adam. My heart goes out to you all. I just want to encourage you that Adam has profoundly changed FBC. I was in the service Sunday when the congregation lifted you up into the throne room before GOD, through so many prayers from men, women and children we all wept before the Lord on your behalf. The alter was filled with people who were moved to get out of their pew and flood the alter with their tears and prayers. I have never seen anything like this before, it was truly a miracle.... exactly what we all have been asking for!!!!! The church of Jesus Christ was united in one accord because of Adam. I remembered what GOD says in HIS word that "a child shall lead them" and indeed he did. The service was filled with GOD'S presence so much that a man was saved and two families joined the church, and it wasn't because of the sermon, it was because of Adam. You are loved and continually in my heart.

Dear Tim, Donna and Andrew,
Words cannot express how sorry we are for the loss of your precious little boy. The love that your family has for one another is always evident, and we know the suffering you're experiencing must be great. We have prayed constantly since receiving word of Adam's illness last Friday that God would give you the comfort and strength you need in the face of this tragedy. May God bless you for the witness you've been to us and to others around you, not only in the past week, but all of the time. May He continue to cradle you in His arms so that you have the courage you need during this time and the days and years ahead. Please know that we are available to help in any way we can.
Your Friends in Christ,

Dear Donna, Tim and Andrew,
Words cannot express the sorrow we feel at the loss of your precious boy Adam. He was such a sweet, gentle little boy with a smile that could charm the beast in anyone. Gavin loved him so much. My boys have been praying for him since we heard on Friday. I sat them down yesterday to tell them that Adam was just so sick that he couldn't get well, but he's already in heaven and feeling much better. When we prayed, Dee (6) asked to pray first and prayed for you three and that Adam would be happy in heaven. Gavin (4) said, "Dear God, Thank you for Adam. Amen." That's it in its simplicity: we love you three and are lifting you up in prayer without ceasing. We know Adam is happy in heaven. And we thank God for Adam.

All our love,
Pam and Bob, Dee and Gavin Young

God Bless you for your unwaivering faith in our Lord, Jesus Christ. Adam is living proof that children really are gifts from God. You both, along with Andrew, did such a wonderful job nurturing him and raising him to know and love his savior as his best friend. Now that he has left us to be with him, take comfort in knowing that he is healthy, happy and home at last. I feel blessed that I had the opportunity to know such a special young man. I love you all and share your grief.

Dear Donna, Tim and Andrew, I know there are few words that can ease your pain and soothe the emotions you must be feeling with the loss of your precious son Adam. I like to believe Adam is "IN THE AREMS OF THE ANGELS WHERE HE FINDS COMFORT" Adam must have been a special child for God to call him to his service. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and everyone who has been touched by knowing Adam. May God's grace be with you and may his light shine down upon you in this your darkest hour...

I remember seeing Donna and the boys in Wal-Mart one day. Adam was very young. He had a small, plastic doll with him. It made me think that a cute, ruff and tumble boy could be so gentle.
Andrew you were the best brother to Adam.
So many that do not know you personally knew Adam and the family because you were so faithful in attending the church service every Sunday. We are praying for you.

I remember teaching our Sunday School Bible Lesson, and I remember seeing how much you liked it and enjoyed my class and my drawings on the chalkboard. You were in class every Sunday and Wednesday with a big smile on your face. I enjoyed having you in my Sunday School class and my Wednesday night class. I also enjoyed babysitting you, we had lots of fun that day, it was you, Jacob and Julianna Pyle, and me. When I close my eyes, I will always see your face with a big smile on it. Adam, I love you!! I want you to know that I miss you and that you will always, always be in my heart. I LOVE YOU ADAM!!!!
