Good Morning, Mary,
Woke up with you and Kimmie on my mind and heart this morning, so thought I'd stop by for a moment before rushing headlong into my day.
You continue to matter, and to be in my heart and Prayer-songs.

Hi Mary,
Wondering how you are doing, especially now that Madi's flown the coup and has her own digs? Been on any trips lately?
Even tho we're rarely in touch, you (and Kimmie) continue to be both on and in my heart.

Ms Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>

Hi Mary,
I still lift you and your family up daily....and all sorts of things continue to bring Kimmie to mind (outside of simply seeing Madi on fb---of COURSE that makes me think of all of you).
I'm soooo sorry I missed Mother's Day this year. I'm away from home due to more renovations and so don't have any of my usual information.
You're not forgotten.
Much Love & Warm Support

Hi Kimmie,
Saw a Solar Butterfly today, and thought of you. Sooooo hunted up a similar one on-line and sent the link to your Sissy. (She's doing an amazingly incredible, awesome and outstanding job with B.....but then, you already know that, grin).
You continue to be remembered with love, and your family continue to be part of my prayer-songs.

Ms Lu

Still here. Still lifting you up.
Ms Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>
- Sunday, February 16, 2014 11:51 PM CST
Hi Mary,
I've stopped by several times without leaving a message....guess I've come so long it's simply part of who I am.
How can I not? You may still come by here, and if so, I'd imagine your heart would like to know at least one of all those who do come, put it in writing, let you know you're not forgotten. That Kimmie's not forgotten. That your journey mattered at the time, and matters still. That Kimmie changed lives, and that change is everlasting.
These things ARE true, and sooooo VERY much more, that words are inadequate to convey.
And so, the love and prayer-songs continue to flow.........even if it's only God and I that know it.
Much Love & Warm Support

Ms Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>
- Saturday, January 18, 2014 6:05 AM CST
Hi Mary,
Even tho I rarely stop by here anymore, you and your family are forever in my heart and prayer-songs. Nothing will change that. It's been true for the past 9 years, and will continue to be true until the day I draw my last breath.

We've never met, and likely never will.
Same with chatting or being close......But that won't change the facts: You and your family are part of my heart. Forever. Period.
I will ALWAYS be out here, silently cheering you, Tony and Madison onward and thru each life challenge....always beseeching healing balm for your aching hearts, and laughter for your souls.

I will forever look at the color fuchsia and yellow butterflies, and think of Kimmie. I'll always think of her whenever I see Barney or hear the friendship song. I'll forever remember the loving looks in your eyes as you gazed at Kimmie and she gazed back....such profound love on all your parts, sent forth ripples and changed hearts, in ways you cannot fathom.

Thank you for sharing your journey and Sweet Kimmie with all of us out here in cyberspace....before cyberspace was normal tromping grounds for most.

If you ever want to share memories or thoughts about Kimmie, you can reach me thru the e-mail listed here. It's one reason I've always kept it visible.

I may still stop by from time to time, I don't know.....most likely thru snail mail now and then....but no matter how much time has passed, you're always welcome in my world.

You Matter. That, too, will always remain true.
Much Love, Warm Support and a g'zillion Prayer-Songs,

Ms Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>

Hi Mary,
Just been carrying you around in my heart a bunch lately. I'm guessing it's too hard to stop by here, and no words for what's in your heart if you could.....but hoping that somehow or another you've managed to hold onto the fact that you DO matter and others ARE lifting you up.

Ms Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>
- Saturday, December 14, 2013 7:40 PM CST
Have held you in my heart today.....your family too.

Hi Angel K,
Figure it's too painful for your Mom to come by here.....but prayer-songs and love always ready and waiting around the corner, and flowing steadily from my wee lil corner of the world.
Will be thinking of your family "extra much" on your Birthday.

Ms Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>

You continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

A year ago today, this world lost an Amazing, Incredibly Loved Butterfly Princess.........You are missed ever so much.....and you changed us forever.

Dear Family, you're in my thoughts extra much today.

Ms Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>
- Thursday, November 14, 2013 11:04 PM CST
Just stopping in with a hug.....
Again, sometimes there simply are no words, sweet family.......cannot fathom the nightmare, of these days in particular. Walking beside you, albeit from very far away.

Ms Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>
- Thursday, November 7, 2013 9:34 AM CST
Hey There, Kiddo,
You know there're HARD days coming up for your family.....the day you left and your Birthday, almost back to back.
Lifting them up "extra much" m'dear. REALLY wish I lived nearby so I could bring a crock pot full of piping hot home made chicken soup.....it's one of those timeless things that speak Love and Support, ya know?!
You're sorely missed. Your Sissy posts about you on fb periodically, as you know, and they're pretty powerful. What a testament such love is! And she makes wise choices, even in the middle of having fun. That's pretty cool too. Yup, you taught her well, grin.
Loving you and your family forever.....

Ms Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>
- Saturday, October 26, 2013 8:26 PM CDT
More yellow butterflies today, so more thoughts of you and prayer-songs for your Mom and Sis
Ms Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>
- Friday, October 18, 2013 2:33 PM CDT
Thinking of you, kiddo.
Hope your life is now incredibly amazing, beyond anything we could ever hope for or dream of.....that it's astounding and that you are thoroughly, completely and totally having a blast.
Had some yellow butterflies the other day....really late in the Season, so of course you came to mind, since you'll always be your Mama's Butterfly Princess.
You know you're still changing lives, right? Thru your Sissy. You taught her all about a deep abiding love...and she carries that over to help other kids.......those who need her special blend of insight, love, creativity, tenacity and ghoulish flair. She's got a rare blend that is EXACTLY what some kids need.......labeled unreachable, she can weave her way into their hearts.....thanks, in LARGE part, to you, m'dear. So take a bow, grin.
Loving you always, your family too.

Ms Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>
- Thursday, October 10, 2013 8:04 PM CDT
Hi Sweet Angel Kimmie,
From your Sister's post on fb, it sounds like grief in it's many forms, collided in the pumpkin patch......with some trying to say they know you are no longer here physically, and others saying you live forever in their hearts........
Two people saying the same thing, using pictures to speak of things-of-the-heart......and sadly, they look like opposites.
Ahhh Sweetie, you are sorely missed. THIS will be forever true.
It's wayyyyyy past the season for them, and yet yellow butterflies were flittering everywhere today.....and I figured maybe your laughter was afoot.
You Matter, m'dear. You always will.
Lifting up your family, as always....

Ms Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>
- Friday, October 4, 2013 11:09 PM CDT
I found myself re-reading Kimmie's story tonight. Thinking about the horrendous journey you all traveled thru...the vast and devastating changes.............unfathomable stuff, for those of us here on the outside........

Just as astonishing, is the deep, vast, abiding love......that with each change, you loved her more and more and more, even tho with each change it was like you were loving someone new, while loving someone with you for years.......that sort of love runs deeper than blood or cells, it's carved into the very essence of one's being......

Making Kimmie part of who you were/are/have become/are becoming. She's imprinted on your heart forever. How great the ache must be, how different the world must look.............and yet, what amazing things you're able to bring to it, because of who you've transformed into being, all because of love. WOW.

You all are amazing, incredible people. You still have folks out here, walking quietly beside you.....

Hi Mary,
If thoughts and prayers and good wishes could become instant notes winging their way to your heart from mine.....your sky would be full of fluttering, colorful notes, piling high all round you!

Ms Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>

Hi Mary,
Just a quick hug and love you note.

Ms Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>
- Friday, August 16, 2013 1:00 AM CDT
Hi Mary!
It took 2 more tries, but now it's working again. Sorry to have bothered you about it. I just hadn't had it happen before sooooo wasn't sure if it was me, CB or a needed change on your end.
You're always in my thoughts and prayers. Seems soooo inadequate to say that. But I do look at the world differently because of Kimmie. and I ALWAYS think of her/you all whenever I see Butterflies, Barney or the colors purple.

Of course, Madi comes to mind whenever I see anything for Star Wars or Light sabers or kids with downs (the later due to her work). I love how she's balanced tenderness with Gaming....a perfect reminder to NEVER judge a book by it's cover or think a first glance tells the entire story.

The pictures of all of you over the years, loving Kimmie, those images are carved on my heart forever. Such powerful love!

Thank you, for sharing it with the world.

Much Love and Warm Support,

Ms Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>

Hi Family,
I saw a family today that could have been you all, several years back. A multi-purpose w.chair van, a Barney shirt and a light saber. Now how cool is that?
Made me think of you (of course, grin)......so figured I'd stop by here and see how things are going. Remind you that you ARE loved and are NOT forgotten!
Yours from the seriously rainy south,

Ms Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>

Hi Mary,
Just stopping by with a hug and a prayer.
I've been at "Pool School" with my Service Dog Mocha....but hope to get caught up on correspondence soon.
Saw an awesome fabric butterfly and thought of you and sweet Kimmie.
Madison, hope the weather didn't keep everyone from the games.

Night,

Ms Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>
- Saturday, July 13, 2013 8:42 PM CDT
Hi Angel-K,
Got any influence with some Dog-Whisperers? If so, please have them send their silent messages to Mocha. She and I are embarking on an important adventure. We're calling it "Pool School" where the whole purpose is for her to learn the pool is a wonderful place for me, and so it's exactly right to lay calmly in my w.chair while I swim, and just quietly watch me.
And you know the pool is my very best Prayer-Singing place.....so I'll be lifting up your folks and your Sister along the way. It'll be 12 days of intensive training, so if I'm MIA, that's why.
Loving you always sweet angel, and loving your family too.

Ms Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>
- Wednesday, June 26, 2013 0:14 AM CDT
Hi Angel-K,
I got caught out in the rain the other day....Mocha and I got royally drenched......and we laughed and laughed (that was NOT always the case).......and I found myself wondering what you'd thought of the rain.......did it make you laugh? Did it make you mad?
I imagine rainy days were VERY hard for your family, ESPECIALLY if they needed to take you out to an appointment....keeping you dry, keeping THEM dry, trying not to slip and slide with the chair..............knowing they had to get out and do it all over AGAIN. I'm thinking that maybe sometimes it made them cry out in frustration.
And yet now, I know they'd gladly go thru it, just to be with you again.

I think of you and your family at odd times like that.

Another time I thought of you was last night when my TV went kaput. For me it's an inconvenience....but you suddenly came to mind and I thought....man, if you couldn't have watched Barney it would have been a tragedy....and it put things into perspective.

I guess I'm just trying to let you know that, you still touch lives, your family's still loved......

Ms Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>
- Tuesday, June 18, 2013 10:16 PM CDT
Hi Sweet Angel,
Your Big Sis was talking about you over on fb again, grin. She shared how you laughed and laughed and laughed on Universal's FISH ride....and how they let you ride FIVE times (and probably would have let you go even more).

I LOVE it when folks "get it right" like that!

Soooo NOW they've got it right yet again, and are letting Big Sis go shoot as many photos of the fish as needed, until she finds "exactly the right one" for her new Tattoo honoring you! Thennnnnn every time she sees it, she can share a giggle.

I know everybody's missing you, kiddo. I know I sure am, and I live whole states away from those who loved you bestest......so they've just GOT to be missing you BIG TIME!

You're forever in my heart, sweetie, as is your Awesome Family.
Much Love & Warm Support steadily flowing.....

Ms Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>
- Friday, June 7, 2013 3:32 PM CDT
Sadly, now it's Daddy's turn to have his dreaded first Father's Day without Kimmie.....several weeks away yet, but commercials on TV and various things are broadcasting it loud enough to make Dad's hearts hurt.

Thinking of all of you and sending love and warm support your way......

Hi Mary,
It's always a lovely surprise to discover you've stopped by.
Whew, you survived Mother's Day. Bless you! Yup, Kimmie's in a better place health-wise....but Heaven would be hard pressed to love Kimmie more or better than her earthly family!
Ahhh yes, well, years from now (decades maybe?) Madison will most likely allow hugs and holding once again....the circle of life's kinda like that, grin. She's a marvelous person, from all counts over on fb and I'm honored to be connected with all of you.
You continue to be in my heart and in my prayers.

Ms Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>

Hi Mary,
It's a dark, gray, overcast, dreary-weather day here.....and suddently my thoughts turned to "I bet this is what Kimmie's Mom & Family's hearts feel like".....and that thought, and a prayer, brought me over here just to touch base and let you know you continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
Love you Lots,

Hi Kimmie, Sweet Butterfly-Princess and Angel Par Excellent,

I saw my first butterfly yesterday. She was such a pale shade of yellow, I'd have totally missed her......but she flew over a red slate roof, and stood out pretty as you please. Kinda like she was announcing herself to the world, grin.

And since thoughts of you and Butterflies go hand in hand, just needed to stop by and share.

Oh, and (as you already know) your sweet sister's heart's been breaking over all the bombing stuff.....sooooooo, if you haven't already, please whisper wonderful things to her heart.

Remembering you, loving you, and lifting up your family, just like always!

Ms Lu
- Thursday, April 18, 2013 11:11 AM CDT
Hi Family,
Hmmmm for some reason or another, as I bought, washed, ironed and hung new curtains in my bedroom and livingroom, I thought of you all.
Contractors just washed the inside and outside the windows and put in new screens.....and the view is spectacular and unencombered.....hanging plants inside merging with treetops outside......with a vast expanse of sky filling wall length windows up here on the 8th floor.
It's here that I looked down and saw butterflies last year, and thought of Kimmie.....and am keeping an eye out for the first to fly this year. We've had some 80 degee days, so.......it won't be long before the whole world is bursting with Springtime. Yest as I type this there's definite pause, as I know it will not feel like Spring, without Kimmie. Love the idea that she's in on the magic now, understands the wonder and awe.
Anyway, thru all this rambling, the point is you're on my mind and heart.
Much Love & Warm Support continuing to flow steadily your way.

Hi Mary, Hello Family,

And so yet another week draws to a close......and as always, you've been on my mind and heart. I've found myself looking back in my mind's eye, at all the pitures you shared, Madison, on fb, of Kimmie.....of all of you and your love amid continual tsunami sized challenges. The love shining back and forth was very evident and very impact-full. Cannot even begin to fathom the emptiness without her.

I found myself rolling my eyes when you shared they were "teaching how to deal with seizures".....YOU should have been teaching that! You'd have included the love factor, the "honor and respect" factor.....folks often miss that in teaching folks about how to assist/help others. YOU and your entire family have that down to a T!

Every time I see Barney, Butterflies and Light Sabers, I think of you all.....a zillion other times too of course, but ALWAYS then. Looks like I'm going to have to brush up on my limited Star Wars knowledge again, as I've got someone new who expects me to know these things. Too bad they don't want to know about Harry Potter, I know more about that, or Star Trek, Lol. Soooo I'm making a trip to the Library to see if they can help me get all the facts straight.....maybe they've got the movies. Now THAT would be helpful!

Have never known enough about your interests, Mary, to chatter away about them or send cards that "fit"......and that does NOT change the fact that you all just kinda dwell in my heart.

Thinking of you "extra much" as yet more Holidays come passing thru. Wishing you soooo many things....but there just aren't words.

Much Love and Warm Support steadily flowing....and lifting you up in Prayer-Songs.....wishing you Light, Hope and the ability to Breethe and to keep facing each new day in it's turn.

Hi Mary,
I found myself wondering if you stopped by here any more, and wow: You were here last week and I missed it!
Thanks sooo much for stopping in. It's gotta be such a gut-wrenching thing to do....ESPECIALLY now that Kimmie's no longer here. Hurrendous stuff.
No, I don't think it DOES get easier. I think it MIGHT get "different", but that's NOT the same thing!
Of COURSE you miss your/our Angel. I'm guessing it even hurts to breathe. Bless you.
I agree: Madison is THE BEST Big Sister EVER! Her love, all your love for Kimmie has made a HUGE difference in my own life...and I live far away. So I can just imagine the humongous impact such steadfast love had on Sweet Kimmie!
I painted a HUGE wooden "W" for my door today, hot glue-gunning flowers and birds on the top. I painted it purple in honor of Kimmie's love for Barney, grin. Soooo you're in people's lives in ways you don't know. You and your journey are NOT forgotten.
Much Love & Warm Support continue to flow steadily, as do the prayer-songs!

Ms Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>

Hi Mary, Hello Everyone,
Yet another week has come and gone.....and you're ever in my thoughts and prayer-songs.
I saw a child carrying a Barney on Marta....and I told her I knew somebody who loved him bunches too....and she said: He's my bestest friend.
Remind you of anyone you know, grin? How your hearts must ache.....
Sending oodles of support your way.....always loving you!

Ms Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>
- Friday, March 1, 2013 10:10 PM CST
Hello Mary,
You continue to be in my thoughts and prayers......and you come to mind in the oddest places......doing dishes, in the elevator....and I wonder if you're needing extra support in those moments, as I lift your name to the Heavens.
My guess is that you don't come by here any more, too painful....and yet, I continue to come by in case you DO stop in on occassion.....wanting you to know you and your family are NOT forgotten.
I rejoice in Kimmie's newfound freedom and grieve that your arms are empty....tho I imagine it'd been ages since "a serious cuddle" had been part of your lives. Soooo GLAD she's seizure-free. Sooo sad Barney no longer echos thru your halls.
Carrying you in my heart, always!

Ms Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>

Hi Mary,
Well, no Butterflies on that particular outing. Instead there were more purple and fusia umbrellas than I've ever seen before.
Yesterday, on the other hand, I noticed that our event-poles had Butterfly-Banners for the Botonical Gardens! These are all along our MAIN Peacthree Street! They were dancing in the wind----and I pictured Kimmie dancing too.
Love you and think of you often.

Hi Mary,
Well, we've got a rainy day in Georgia and I'm headed out. On dreary days like this, I always keep a look out for things that have butterflies on them.....it's been one of the many ways I've rooted for and cheered your family onward thru each day.....this'll be the first time I've done it with our gal flying free....(as I typed that I found myself listening for her laughter).

Anyway, just wanted you to know you continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi Mary,
You've been on my mind a LOT this last week. Just wanted you to know you're not forgotten! Saw some purple fleece today and thought of Barney and then, of course, Kimmie came to mind. Yup, at the oddest times, doing "regular life" things......you all become "front and center" in my mind and heart. Always breathe a word of prayer during these moments, and send a flood of warm thoughts and wishes your way as well. If these sorts of things make me think of Kimmie......the world must be a HUGE ocean of such things for you all. Bless ya.

Hi Family,
'Made a Pumpkin Pie for my Brother tomorrow....he comes up about once a year......and this brought all of you to mind.
I think you'd like him. At first glance, with his black leather hat and jacket, he looks like a member of the mafia, Lol. Nothing could be further from the truth, as he's got a heart of gold. He wasn't after "a look" as they were gifts (at different times) and it makes me laugh. He's not much taller than I am, so I guess he needs all the help he can get, grin.
VERY aware of who is not gracing your household during this Holiday season.....and so am holding you extra close to my heart.

Hi Angel,
I swam a lap for your family today, while I was at the pool. Damien was there, a really cute kid that reminds me of you.
How's your family holding up? You looking in on them periodically? You know, don't you, that even when the time comes that they're able to be busy with other things, their love for you will be as strong as ever, right?! Yup, figured you knew that, as you're one smart cookie.
Thinking of all those who've spent a lifetime loving you m'dear.
Hugs

Hello Butterfly-Princess-Angel,
I miss coming here and rooting and cheering you on, sharing a silly story to distract you/your family for a second, holding you in my heart as I sing.......You are SOOOOO VERY FINE now, and need none of those things from me, yet your precious family......I think they'll need extra loving for a long, long time.
I hope they can picture you vibrantly alive, active, happy, care-free, SEIZURE free with a dictionary's worth of words pouring forth as you share about EVERYTHING.
I imagine for you it'll feel like only a second, before you all are together again.....but for them, it'll be lifetimes, sweetie. So whatever you can do from where you are now, to see that their hearts are comforted......hmmm I bet you're doing that already and it's silly for me to even ask.....Ahhhh the life you must be living now.....
You are missed, kiddo........surrounding your family with love, light and prayer-songs as promised, always.
Hugs

Oh Golly, Princess-Angel,

I NEVER looked at the date today......until after I saw your Sissy's post on fb. Wow, you'd have been 19 today!

Your Sweet Sister posted a Baby-bop song on sister-friendship......MAJORLY kewl (and really touching, ya know?)

Ahhh m'dear, the world lossed an incredible, vivactious, tenatious spirit when you left us. I can picture your exuberance and glee where you are today......guess it's sooo hard to contain the magnitude of your delight in your new todays! -N- THAT's why the sun was soooo bright today, the sky sooo blue! OUR world, was touched by YOU, grin.

Happy Birthday, Butterfly-Princess! Ahhhhh am sure in your fullness of who you've become, you've DEFINITELY graduated to Kim by now! Ahhhh but Barney and your family's love, and yours shining right back.....those are always part of how I think of you.

Hope you've had a magnanamous day, Sweetie. Imagine it's been another really rough one for your family.Bless them.

Heart-Hugs & Prayer-Songs continue to flow......

PS My head says don't keep coming here to cb.....my heart says otherwise. (I've always come here as part of lifting up you and your family---but I don't want to add to their pain.....so sweetie, whisper your advise in my ear.....well, if you're not to busy Celebrating your new freedoms that is. Giggle, fat chance....ahh well, it's an earthly matter, grin). Happy flying!

Hi Mom, Hi Family,

Hmmmmm I'm thinking maybe you need/want a break from coming over here for awhile?

Loving you and our Precious Butterfly-Angel forever

Dear Mary,

What an agonizing post for a Mom to have to write.
I'm so very, very sorry.
What a gut-wrenching year you've had and now this humongous gaping chasm were your heart once dwelt. Bless you.

I wish I lived close enough to come say good-bye to your Precious Angel in person. Please know my heart is with you as you grapple to continue breathing and putting one foot in front of the other.

Lifting you up, holding you close....as always,

Ms Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>

Ahhhh my Precious Butterfly,

I hear you've finally gained your wings. Your sweet Sister lovingly counted me as family as she was passing the word along.

Oh Sweet Princess.......even as tears stream down my face and tears rack my body, I'm ever so glad for you. I knew you were leaving.....and I know it's time........yet you will be sorely missed.

The biggest hint that your time was nearing an end, was your Sister re-posting all your incredible pictures of your years here on earth with us. Oh such love I have never known......and rejoice in knowing how thoroughly and completely you have been loved, and will be loved forever.

I ache for your family. If my own sadness and grief is this big, how humongous must be the grief of your sweet Sister, Mom, Dad, and all those who've loved you well.

How bittersweet....to want and welcome your relief from constant seizures and pain, yet wanting your presence forever........

And yet, I see you slipping from this world and suddenly and completely being fully and vibrantly alive in the next. Finally able to be the rest of who you were created to be. There is such rejoicing in that image.

I pray you'll come to your family in their dreams, in the fullness of who you've now become, that they might behold the child they've loved, and the incredibly vibrant person you also are.

I will forever look at the world differently because of you.
And I will keep loving your family, and coming here as long as they keep your page open, to affirm that love never dies and people are still out here, offering love and support.

Bless you Sweet Kimberly! Soar Magnificently.

With Love....your

Ms Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>

Ahhhhhh Kimmie,
And so, November has arrived.
Sissy's most favorite goolish holiday is past.......and the time has come to begin serious good-byes. Yet, I have no new words, Sweetheart. I've carried you in my heart and been transparent here with my love and concern for you and your family......and none of those are going to change.
What WILL change is your "hug-able" presence. Your Spirit will still be vibrant, even more so than ever before....you will FINALLY be able to be "ALL", "the more" of who you were created to be. Without seizures, without constant meds, without limitations. I envision the most glorious sunrise after a moonless night; an energy, a joy uncontainable that will vibrate and resonate throughout the universe, when you arrive in your new form. And incredible sadness & loss, mingled with relief from your suffering.
What I know is: We are formed knowing how to come into this world, and it's encoded in us, how to leave when the time comes.
What I want YOU to know is: You matter. You will ALWAYS matter. You've made a difference in countless lives, and you've set ripples in motion that will continue throughout eternity. And, you are dearly loved. And ALL those things, I'm confident you already know. I've seen family photos. Nobody can pretend that deeply, falsley create such sparkle and deep joy, fake such a sense of fun. Yup, you've been royally and thoroughly loved....and that love will continue.
And our love for your family.....it will continue. If they can still allow folks in, or if they need to put up a wall.......the love will be steadfast and sure no matter what.
Thank you, Kimmie, for who you've helped me to become. And Thank you, for gracing our world with your special presence.
Love you, Sweetie.
Hugs to you and safe traveling wishes.....surrounding you with Prayer-songs.....

Ms Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>

Cannot believe an entire week has gone by since I last stopped in. I know several times I started to come by, but stopped myself, not wanting to inundate you.....didn't realize I over-did the "giving you space".

Please know you are ALWAYS in my thoughts and prayers!

Trust the wedding was beautiful. Madison, hope you'll post a photo or two on fb (if it feels right). Would love to see everyone. Wonder if you still have that graduation photo of Kimmie up on your wall? Not savvy about looking into such things.....would it be an invasion of privacy if I took a look?

I know as the end of the month draws near and November dawns, humongous, gut-wrenching changes are in view. Lifting you up thru all of them.....every second of every day......

Precious Kimmie: That Prayer-singing you hear in your dreams really strongly some nights? The tunes that mix Barney-feel stuff and deep soul stuff into one? That's from this wee lil corner of the universe.....
Surrounding you with love, sweetie, especially as you sleep.

Loving you forever
(PS remember: You DO know how to do what's ahead.....I bet Barney will dance with you down the road from this world to the next.....can just hear you now when you expode into being on the other side! Wow: Watch out Universe, Kimmie's been re-given her voice!)

Ms Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>

Hi Kimmie,

Your Sister just gave us a pretty incredible update on you, kiddo. About how HARD you've fought (that's NO secret: YOU are an inspiration to ALL of us out here).....and about what a HERO you are (THAT is also NOT news. Yet how kewl for a Sister to shout that out for the world to hear, grin).

You and your family personify what "L-O-V-E" actually means. I'm floored, wow-ed, blown away, awed, impressed....and humbled by how you LIVE this 24/7/365/6. YOU each are shining stars in my world....and are carried around with me in my heart everywhere I go (hope you don't mind the jostling, grin).

I'm glad you all are cramming your hours and hearts with a g'zillion more memories.

Cannot fathom the good-byes tucked within each minute. Praying when the time comes to make those seizures cease....everyone's hearts will be as ready as possible....and that you will be able to let this world go.

Incredible things are in store sweetie. Things that'll either take your breathe away in awe (Take the BEST of Barney and multiply it by a g'zillion to the millionth power), or make you go: Oh, yea, I forgot, THIS is living, grin. (and maybe even thoughts like: THIS is why I left, and THIS is why I've come back---wish you could tell us all about it----but then, maybe that's what our dreams are for, grin. Will be looking for you in mine)

Not to worry: We (out here in cyberspace) will continue to guard your family's hearts and love them to the moon and back again. And we'll remember you and continue to "go forth" in your honor for as long as we are alive.

Have fun tonight with your Sister, sweetie.
Love you Bunches.

Heart-Hugs and Prayer-Songs continue to flow (to eternity and back again).

I wish the ocean
could wash all your cares away
leaving pristine, unblemished, smooth sands behind
with all sorts of living treasures spread out to marvel at with awe and wonder......all for your heart and soul to enjoy and soak up it's filled to overflowing.

I wish endless blue skies made up your horizons
as far as the eye could see
and you each could soar and dance upon the thermals,
far from the cares and struggles of this world.

I wish you could splash and play in endless fun
there in the oceans waters
your souls delighting in the freedom from constant worry, heartache and dispair

I wish your hearts to know peace in abundance beyond all measure
and comfort that defies understanding

I wish you deep breaths that reach down into the center of your being....where you rediscover a treasure-trove of yet untapped strength

I wish you steadfast assurance, a grounding that's not limited to circomstances
and a steady infilling of everything you need to walk thru the moment you are in.

I wish for you to be surrounded with love and light and peace.

You Matter dear family.
And tho far away, I am here.

Well, at the close of another week, I wanted to stop in, share a sip of coffee, a hug and warm thoughts.
No words.......just caring.....

Ms Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>
- Friday, October 5, 2012 7:49 PM CDT
Kimmie,
I had the most AMAZING dream about you last night. You were dancing.
You started out the age I first met you. You danced and talked as you danced.... and each time you twirled you grew older and older and older until you were the age you are now.
You talked about all the things that have been important to you that you could never share before....until you were talking about Barney as a grown up and the ways he brought you comfort...and all the things your family's done that let you know how much they love you.
You were talking about all the favorite things about each member of your family and all the things you've wished for them all thru the years.
It blew me away. I woke myself up saying your name out loud. Golly.
I hope my sharing this incredible dream hasn't hurt anyone's heart over there at your house. I'd never want that. Yet this was to astounding not to share.

Love you Bunches kiddo.

Hey There, Kimmie,
Your Sister says your breathing's not very good. Ahhh kiddo, I'm soooo sorry leaving's gotten so very VERY hard.
I'm hoping that as you hear Barney say: Good Morning Boys and Girls......you're here for the Good Morning Boys....and that by the time he gets to the end of girls, you're already in your new place....laughing, running, giggling, and jabbering a mile a minute, to make up for a lifetime of things left unsaid.
From what I can tell from the pictures: You all have spoken the-language-of-the-heart exceptionally well.
I love you Sweetheart. Tho we've never met, you stole my heart 8 years ago, and it's been yours ever since. Will always carry you with me.
Have seen LOTS of yellow butterflies flying wayyy up here on the 8th floor all week, and you've come to mind continually as a result.
Take Care Honeybun and God Speed.

I heard from your Sister, over on fb, that you're having a MAJORLY rough time of it, even more than before. Sheeesh, kiddo, I'm soooo sorry.

What a fighter you are! Sending oodles of loving support and prayer-songs your way m'dear, and up on your behalf.

Praying for calmer waters and gentler seas....and when the time comes, safe passage.

Encircling your Mum and Dad and Sissy with EXTRA love and light. Love you Sweetie. Soooo glad you've blessed the world with your presence. Because of you, I look at so many things differently.

Hi There Lil Miss Butterfly,
Wondering how you are, and if you're wrapped tightly in your lil cocoon, or if you've been fluttering your wings a bit....making the trees sway on the other side of the world, grin.
Saw some fun whirl-a-gigs the other day and thought of you.....and some neat Star Wars things again, so of COURSE thought of your Marvelous Sister. Speaking of whom, have you heard how VERY GOOD she is with those kiddos she's working with? Yeah? Well.......I'm thinking it's YOU who taught her that, grin. So m'dear, you're influencing the world in unforseen ways.....and your Sister's impacting it BIG TIME as well. Her fb posts are so vibrant, some are very profound, some are silly....ALL are really cool. But then, you already knew/know she's awesome. The pictures of the two of you together demonstrate that.
Give your Amazing Mom a hug from me and let her know that she's not forgotten, nor is dear ole Dad.
You and your family remain and ever shall be important to me, and part of my daily prayer-songs. Just got back from running Mocha at this 3:30am hour, and was softly lifting each of you up.
Love you Bunches.

Woke up with you on my mind, so thought I'd come by here, sit a minute and lift you up while I could "see" you.
Nothing much to say, other than I'm here, and not going anywhere. You Matter. That'll always remain true.

Just stopping in to say Hello.....and share a chuckle:
You'd have laughed at Mocha in her pink and white life vest, riding a boogie-board beside me in the ocean! She got sooo tired from dog-paddling we HAD to think of something, because there was NO WAY she was going to allow me in all that water without her! And the life vest wasn't any good when it came to keeping waves from washing over her head! Too bad we didn't get any pictures.
She certainly slept good at night, Lol.

Hope you all are managing to slip in some breaks, some fun and some solid sleep.

Continuing to lift you up.
Hugs

Hi Kimmie, Hello Family,
Just wanted to stop in before heading out of town for several weeks, to let you know you each will be in my thoughts "extra much" while I'm gone.
Part of the time I'll be at the ocean....such incredible wildness, such soothing sounds....such breathtaking beauty. Will write your names in the sand.....a prayer of sorts and an entreaty to our Creator to embrace you as the waters embrace the sands.
You all matter. 'May not always know what to say or have anything silly to share, but in my heart....well, you each are always there.
If I'm MIA, it'll mean I don't have Internet access.
Much Love & Warm Support.....

Hi Mary, Tony, Madison & Kimmie,
Thought of you this week when Mocha "found" me. She'd been given time off from training to go play ball with a helper while I swam. She went off excitedly enough, chased the first ball, brought it back to the helper, then took off. They had heart failure practically.....then it occured to him....I wonder... Sure enough, Mocha had found her way thru the complex maze of buildings on a route she'd never been before, showed up at the building's front door, someone let her in, and she dashed thru the building, down the stairs to the pool door. She'd realized after that first ball toss, that there was someplace else she HAD to and wanted to be (she's a Service Dog).

Sometimes I think of Kimmie that way.....she's almost ready to leave us....and then, she remembers where she wants to be, (with you) and so she stays.

Lifting you up throughout this arduous journey. Celebrating you and your lives....admiring/respecting that you're finding ways to continue on, even while being in a sort of limbo.

Hugs!

Hello Lil Miss Butterfly,
How's it going, Hunnybun? Been thinking about you LOTS lately.
Today was DEFINITELY a "Kimmie Day" when I was out and about. First, were the field of Butterflies....I'd have thought it was too hot for them, but evidently they'd cocooned someplace "just right" and were enjoying their newfound freedom. Then there were the two little girls singing The Barney Friendship song as I passed the icecream shop. Then there was the metal butterly-stake outside Ace Hardware....and then the crem-de-la-crem were the shirts the same color as Barney, that an ENTIRE Family was wearing.
Soooo just had to come by once I got back home and settled....to say you were clearly traveling "out and about" with me today.
You're always in my heart....and am forever lifting up you, your Big Sis (who's mighty awesome, if I might add) and your Amazing Mom and Dad.
Love you LOTS kiddo.
Hugs

Ms Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>

I'm glad your Mom's got you for one more Mother's Day! She's an amazing woman.....you know that, right? Grin. I know your heart does, even if your Mouth might not have the words.
Hi Mary,
Glad you've got both your girls with you this year...hope your day is extra special.

Hi Family,
Feeling closer to you than usual, as we've suddenly got a family member in the process of dieing....pretty much out-of-the-blue......
So, as I think of her and lift her up, it's the perfect time to lift you all up as well.

Renovations are crazy again here in our building, so computerville's a bit spotty.

Love flowing as steadily as always!
You Matter. That NEVER changes!

Wondering if you're having any success battling the pnemonia.

Oh Golly, HATE to hear you've got pnemonia, on top of everything else, kiddo. Now THAT's STINKFUL! Bless your heart m'dear.
Sending oodles of loving support your way, as always. And, of course, lifting you, your Big Sis, Mom and Dad up in Prayer-Songs too.
Love ya Bunches,

Hi Kimmie,
Do you decorate Easter Eggs at your house (if so I imagine a collasal, great fun of a mess, grin--and some pretty awesome eggs).
Does the Easter Bunny come to your house? Hmmmm wonder what sorts of things you like. Probably something new and wonderful to chew on (or are you like a friend of mine, who prefers to have stock in a zillion of the exact same thing?).
Well.....however you spend tomorrow, just know you (and your entire family) continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. You "pop up in my world" at the oddest times, grin. Saw a spectacular fabric butterfly the other day and thought of you.
CCC (Coffee-clank-Cheers) to your Amazing Mom, kiddo. And kudos and love to your Dad and Big Sis.

Love you Lots,

Hi There Miss Kimberely G.....

Thinking of you a TONS kiddo. Another month gone, and the world continues to be blessed with your presence. Hope each moment's not a constant struggle and that there continue to be people and things that make your heart smile.
Remembering some of those amazing pictures your sister shared on fb....they STILL have the power to make me smile. I'm so very glad you've got the family you do.
They (and you) are amazzzzzzzing!

How's it going m'dear? Imagine you're mighty exhausted. Hope you know, someplace deep inside you, that you've got all sorts of people, of all different faiths, lifting you up in their own way(s).

You (and your entire family) MATTER TONS!

Good Morning, Kimmie,

I hear a wee lil bird has built her nest right where you can watch her traveling back and forth. Now how cool is that, kiddo?! I think that's VERY neat.

And I think it's pretty cool your Big Sis notices these things right along side you, m'dear.

Well, I'm headed out to the pool in a few, but wanted to stop in and let you know I'm thinking of ya. Would bring coffee by and waft it under all the adult's noses.....so you could giggle at their expressions of pure bliss.....alas, I'm a bit too far away to reach, grin.

Hope today's one of your better days.
Luv Ya

Hi Kimmie,

This is Mocha, Mama's Service Dog. (Mom's playing secretary for me, tail wags). I just wanted you to know I'm sending all sorts of good-doggie-energy your way, and the birds are sending you their feathered best, too. THAT'S the important stuff.

Silly stuff is that Mom just finished cutting my fur and giving me a bath. "GROOMING" is NOT my most favorite thing in the world. Do you like it? Ugh. I love the "shaking water everywhere" part, and I love the chance to "run like I'm crazy all over the house"...but the being still part, the roaring of the clippers, not so much. Mom's decided to do it EVERY week, instead of just a bath every week. At first I thought that was a TERRIBLE idea. But you know what? It was soooo easy, I hate to admit that I didn't mind it a bit today. I won't let on, because I still want ALL the treats from "enduring" it.

Well, I think Mom's fingers are tired, so I better go. But just know, your ENTIRE HOUSEHOLD must be VERY important to my Mom.....cause even I know EVERBODY'S names!

Friendly doggie-kisses, tail wags and good energy,
Mocha

Hi Kimmie,

The fb note from your sister said things are getting harder and harder, and you're awake less and less, taking in less and less nurishment. Sounds like your transition time's getting closer and closer, Sweetheart.

Hope you're dreaming about Barney and everything wonderful and good that you love....every smile your family's ever shared, every giggle and bit of silliness, all the things that have brought you joy.....hold fast to those, honeybun.

Remember sweetie: Your family may be scared, but YOU don't need to be. You're born knowing how to do this.
It's being left behind that folks don't know how to do.

Don't worry: we'll keep loving your family and holding them close. They've got GOOD people surrounding them.
And, in case you don't know it: you won't be failing anyone by leaving. You've done a magnificent job and given your family 18 years that Doctor's said you'd never have.....What a valiant spirit you've got! What good care they've taken of you!!!

They'll love you forever, no matter whos arms you're in m'dear. We all will. You've changed us, rearranging us from the inside out. That's forever.

Much Love, Warm Support, and Prayer-Songs flowing steadily Ms Kimmie....surrounding you with love and light....

PS That black and white pup, and the black and silver one...those are my Service Dogs waiting to show you around.

Hi Kimmie,
I was watering my plants today, and found myself thinking about you....thinking about the special care some plants and people need, and when given it, how they've grown and thrived against all odds....that's such a perfect picture of you sweetheart. Against all odds, you've made it to 18, and since then several times thus far, have given your family extra time with you. You are pretty remarkable, as is your family.
I love hearing your sister describe some of your time together....I find myself grinning a lot as I read, even while knowing there's so much heartache co-existing with the silliness.
Hope everyone gets some peaceful sleep tonight, so you can begin anew and afresh tomorrow....lifting you up in whatever each new day holds.
Hugs.

Hi Mary,
Was thinking of you this morning, as I watched the sun rise this morning. Darkest night giving way to soft muted colors, the sky gradually lightening.....and I was thinking about Kimmie, and how soon she will be on the Other Side, where such wonders were set into motion eons ago. And I thought to myself: soon she will be able to appreciate and delight in such things.
Then I found myself chuckling as I could almost hear her say: I TOLD all of you that Barney makes those sky-colors when he spills his paint-box of colors. I was right!
Thinking of you many times throughout the day, wondering what you're facing in that particular moment-you-are-in.....one place is when I wash dishes, because those mundane things must get done wherever we are in our journey's......
Until next time, much love and warm support,

PS Madison, really apprecaited your candor over on fb last night. Extra caring coming your way...neat thing is, it can translate into whatever form works best for you, a hug, a smile, a knuckle-bump, a cheetos-toast, a light-saber salute, whatever.

Dearest Mary and Family,

Bless your hearts, what a stink-full message to have to write.....only to be surpassed by the one to come, whenever that may be.

Supporting you a g'zillion percent......and at night when you look up at the sky and see how many stars there are.....that's how many prayers are going up daily, sometimes hourly.

Yes, I earnestly pray that when the time comes, Kimmie's able to quickly and quietly slip away without pain or fear or distress.

Praying that your own hearts are able to hold up thru this oceanic-size ordeal of sizmic proportions and tsunami-size reprecussions. You're right, no Mom (or Dad or Big Sister) should have to go thru this.

Words are never enough in times like these....things sound canned or sickly-sweet or offensive.....it's the one time above all, that I wish we were neighbors so we could simply "be" without words......sharing crock-pot meals and movies, for mini-breaks amid being on constant alert.

You're an Astonishingly Amazing Family, who's love has shown vibrantly thru each picture for years and years (thanks Madison for sharing those).....Kimmie's most definitley been thoroughly and completely loved, and it's clear she's reveled in that and thrived wayyyy beyond what anyone ever thought or dreamed possible.

I'm sooooo sorry that your in the middle of this nightmarish journey.

Much Love & Warm Support Steadily flowing....

Dearest Kimmie,
You've been on my heart all day, and I found myself "talking" to you in my mind, as if you were here. Some of the things I'd share with you, as you begin this incredible and special journey you're on.
First I'd remind you that we're born, knowing how to leave when the time comes......so that there's nothing to be afraid of. It will feel VERY different, yet it will also somehow feel familiar, like something your soul knows.

But that's grown up language, and you know more about Barney, and your Dad's laughing, loving eyes, your Sissy's loving silliness and your Mom's soothing spirit. And so I'd encourage you, when those "different" feelings come and your breath changes.....that you breathe in the twinkle of your Daddy smiling at you, exhailing the pain of seizures, the anger and frustration of the years....with each breath, breathe in those special moments, like when you were actually WITH Barney, when you were laughing at your glow-in-the-dark cast.....gradually, you will be so full of those wonderful memories, that there will be less and less need to breathe them in, less to let go of.....until suddenly, you will be part of those memories....you will be alive and free in ways you haven't been here on earth since you were tiny. You'll know, understand and see it all, and you'll shout your Hoorays and your "I knew it"....and you'll see your amazing family in an entirely new light. And the agonizing years here on earth will be like a blink of time....no longer consuming your entire being, but simple part of all of who you are.

And you will see how incredibly sad your family is without you....and just maybe, you'll find ways to let them know you are OK now.....things that will speak uniquely to their hearts and souls.

I'll miss you Kimmie, yet you'll always remain a kind of alive in my heart. For you have become part of the fabric of my being as well, sweet Butterfly Princess.

Thank you for being here. For shining as you have, for teaching us all to delight in life's littel things. I will NEVER look at Barney and his friendship song the same whay....it'll forever carry echos of you.

And if it's alright with you, I'd like to stay in touch with your family. They will matter all the more when you are gone, and they are faced with the chasm where their heart once dwelled (cuase you DO fill up their hearts m'dear).

Forgive me if I've tresspassed and spoken out of turn....I'll keep talking to you heart-to-heart, and lifting you up in Prayer-Songs.

Loving you forever and ever

Hi Kimmie,
Your Big Sister said family's coming in from all over the place. I'm delighted to hear they're surrounding you with their love, precious princess....and I'm saddened by the reason.
There's no way my heart can ask you to stay, with constant seizures and the nightmares that come with that......yet my soul feels connected to yours and your essance, and well, that is as strong as ever.
I hope everyone's love comes shining thru, and that you can feel it with every cell of your being, down to your toe-nails and back again. And that as you're preparing for this next phase of your life, you are excited, rather than afraid. I don't know what's next, kiddo, I just know it's gotta be amazing...and when you get there you'll go "ahhh, of course" (yet maybe, your insides haven't ever disconnected from that specialness like most of us have---and you'll say: FINALLY!). I know I picture you being all you were originally created to be, and see you soon thrilling in your completeness.......even while sorely missing all those you've loved here.

Dearest Family,
Holding you close and lifting you up......with great sadness and great love,

Hi Kimmie,
I've seen the most Amazing pictures of you today. Your Awesome Sister put them up for the whole world to see. Ahhhh it is CLEARLY evident that you are dearly and thoroughly loved sweetheart.
I see soooooo MUCH mutual admiration in the pictures. So much honor, respect, welcome, humor, love.....pretty awesome to bare witness to m'dear, and probably far better to be the one experiencing it first hand!
I'm soooo glad you were born into this family, and I'm honored to be a tiny part of everyone's journey.....only a blink, really, in the overall scheme of things....but I've come to love you dearly sweet Butterfly.
I've heard whisperings that it might just be your time to fly free of the gravity of our earthly realm.....ah precious Kim, if it is your time to go....it's an honor to be here this night with you.
And it just may be that soon you'll be able to share your heart and soul without any restrictions or constraints, and able to thrill in the awesomeness of all of life, in new, different and astounding ways.
If you do go, be at peace sweet princess...and those of us left behind, will try hard to guard and uplift your loved one's hearts.
Always here, forever touched and changed by you.

Hi Mary,
I just spent the last 2 1/2 hours re-reading Kimmie's entire journal. Sheeesh, what a hellashish journey....and that's the understatement of the Century.
My heart is sooo full, but words are few. Cannot even begin to fathom what it feels like to be you. I just hope you're still finding ways to go off and take care of yourself...and yet how gut-wrenching it must be to do so. Wish SOMETHING in your world were easy!
Because I do not have the wisdom to know how or what to pray when it comes to Kimmie....I sing her name over and over again....sometimes I add different parts of her body...when her seizures were non-stop and treatment at the hospital was so risky....I wnated to envision her brain calming down...so held my hand in water for an hour, envisioning her brain being held in cooling, healing balm....maybe it sounds strange, but Kimmie demands that one "think outside the box".

Since each of your needs must also be vast and great....I often simply sing your name in prayer for hours too, and when I swim, I swim laps for each of you.... I share this simply so you know, the prayers are not simple or fleeting or off-the-cuff, but long and in earnest, even tho I'm mostly simply inviting His prensence to somehow come and be made known...for His essence to minister to Kimmie, in ways we cannot see or understand...... And tho I know none of the damage and problems are His doing, sometimes I do let Him know what I think about it....and then am silent, for who knows what all this translates to?

Just know that you matter, to this stranger in Atlanta, and it's not a passing fling....

Wanting, more than anything, for you all to have reasons to laugh.

All this, yet still, nothing really expresses what's in my heart.

Holding you close

Hi Kimmie,
I'm glad you're home sweetheart. I know that doesn't necessarily mean you're feeling much better. I hope it DOES mean they've been able to help with the seizures a bit, and that you've NOT had to go into a deep hyberating sleep to recover.
Lifting you up, kiddo. Your whole family, too, 'cause I know it just breaks their heart for you to be having such a astronamically humongous hard time of it. Wishing you relief sweet Princess.
I'm having some teeth pulled Tuesday, so I might be MIA/laid up a couple of days.....but that'll just be more opportunity to lift YOU up while being still.
You MATTER m'dear, as does your entire family.

Hi Mary,
Saw Madison's fb post last night, about the constant, non-stop seizures Kimmie's been having. Moved me to post a note on my own wall and send out an e-mail too.
HUNDREDS of people have responded, adding Kimmie and your whole family to their prayers and their prayer-lists, so the circle grows ever larger.
Just wanted you to know many people, of many different beliefs, are rooting for you, cheering you ever onward/upward and thru. They "get it" how serious and life threatening these seizures (and treating them) is.
Cannot even begin to fathom the desperation, fear and exhaustion. Wish I were there to sit with you. Am here on this end.....

Ms Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>
- Wednesday, December 14, 2011 5:01 PM CST
Hi Kimmie,
I woke up thinking about you, so came by to re-read all your history, poems and stuff. Couldn't help but wonder if tonight's one of those nights when you're up playing, because your brain doesn't remember it's needing sleep....or maybe it's one of those nightmarish nights that never seem to end, when seizures are running rampet and your family is wishing with every ounce of their beings, that there were some way to help, and just feeling powerless over it all.

I think of you often Sweetie, and picture you running and laughing in your dreams, or a zillion other wonder-filled things. I'm glad you've got people and things that DO make you smile, kiddo, like your Big Sis, Barney, sippy cups, new passies, and the love of your amazing folks. I'm sooooo very sad their hearts are broken, even while filled with joy about your amazing inner self.

Hope tomorrow's one of your better days m'dear.
Encircling you and your entire family (and aides) in loving Prayer-Songs.

You Matter. That never changes.

Hi Family,

Was thinking of you this evening, and the room down here is quiet, so thought I'd touch base for a minute.

Tomorrow morning Santa (aka a friend of mine who looks and acts like Santa and has valid liscense etc with his picture in an old world St. Nick outfit, with an address on Mistletoe lane at the North Pole, grin) and I are going to pick out my Christmas tree tomorrow.

Going out with him is always an adventure, ESPECIALLY this time of year. He cheerfully plays the roll (hmmm wonder if he's really "playing" grin) and we end up engaging in all sorts of conversations with young and old alike. Everything from where are the Reindeer (fueling up for the "big" night) to what Mrs. Clause is doing (baking cookies for all the elves to keep THEM fueled as they put the finishing touches on toys and get the sley packed).

One year, a Muslim gentleman paid for our breakfast. Now THAT's what peace-on-earth's about.

Wish you were here to join in the fun.
Hope you're having a bit of fun of your own.

Hugs,
Ms Lu

Hi Kimmie, Hello Family,
Thinking about you and wondering how you all are doing, what fills your days and what's happening in your world.(Sadly, I know Kimmie's world is filled with seizures and pain....luckily there's Barney to bring her a bit of joy). But I don't know about the rest of you......(Well, I DO know a tiny bit about you, Madison, grin).

Did you see the moon last night? I looked up and it was shining brightly thru my windowpane....it was fun to follow it's progress across the sky.
Do you know about the Rabbit in the moon? Having lived in Taiwan as a tot, I grew up knowing about it...and was devistated when I learned that the man in the moon was only a head, rather than the whole person! His right eye is the rabbit's ears. his left eye is the rabbits face. The nose is the Rabbit's body. The smile is the rabbits hind legs and tail. Pretty neat, once you can "see" it.
Well, enough chatter on my part, will close for now.
Please know a day NEVER passes without thoughts of you.
Prayer-Songs continue to flow.....

Hi Kimmie, Hello Mary, TOny, Madison,
Just wanted to slip down to our Internet Cafe while all is quiet, and let you know you're in my thoughts tonight.
Well, actually, I carry you around always, but even cyberspace wouldn't have room for THAT many notes.

Hope tonight's a calm night in your world, with restorative sleep on the ticket for ALL of you.

Hi Mary, Hello Family,
Still don't have my own computer back, but our newly renovated downstairs now has an Internet Cafe....so I can slip down now and again for a visit. Not the same as my own computer and weekly visits, but definitely better than nothing. Have missed coming over to check on you and let you know you're in my thoughts and prayers. Ya just never know what hour on the clock will find each of you being lifted up....just know it DOES happen, and OFTEN, grin.

Hi Mary, Hi Family,
A day never passes without you being in my thoughts and prayers MANY times. All sorts of things bring you to mind: Seeing Barney (of COURSE), Butterflies, my own seizures, another amazing person trapped in a body that doesn't 'conform', being up all night, Light Sabers, Star Wars, pictures of oceans, pictures of sisters....
Never know what, in the course of a day, will whisper your names to my heart...but you are here, and you Matter.
Thanks for the update! Praying recovery from this latest surgery is more swift than usual.
Love you.....yup, I do....sorry, you're sorta stuck with me, grin.

Hi Kimmie!

Guess who figured out how to go down to the creek like the big dogs? Yup, wee lil Mocha. She had a BLAST (me, not so much, grin).
Soaking-wet, Happy Dog had to have a bath afterwards. She LOVES water in ALL forms, giggle, so that wasn't a hardship for her.
Then we both went out in the sunshine, and dried in a flash (MAJORLY HOT here in Ga).

ALWAYS lifting you up, Sweetie.

Good Morning my Friends!

Happy Saturday to all of you fabulous folks, grin.

You missed our laugh-fest this morning. I'm sure we made quite a sight, giggle. I was quielty sipping coffee....oooing and ahhhing over God's amazing creation.....when Mocha's head came up underneath my coffee mug and, you guessed it: I was wearing the entire mug full. I was completely covered: head, face, arms, lol....and of course it was also all over my dress.

Then Mocha got ALL excited because, well her favorite thing is m-i-l-k and I had creamer in my coffee. So I got a doggie-bath by one thoroughly delighted dog. She "washed" my dress too, but alas, it'll take something stronger than her tongue to get the stains out, Lol. Good thing it was a "doesn't matter, it's for cleaning and grung-days" dress, grin.

I'm wearing my other "grung" dress as I type, sipping on a fresh cup of coffee.....and Mocha's stretched out behind me taking a nap (means I'm having to sit forward on the chair...she's taking her half out of the middle, grin).

Hope you're having a lovely morning
You MATTER, and are carried around in my heart always (hope you're not too crowded in there, Lol)

Ms Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>

Hi Kimmie,
Saw a picture of your Sister and Barney over on fb. Hope folks got a picture of the two of you together, too.

Well fiddle-drat, I'd typed a LOOOONG chatty message here, only to have this friend's laptop hic-up and swallow it all. Yack-a-roon-O! (Too bad,too, as it shared all sorts of things about your wonderful Sissy and her vibrant spirit, what the Golden-Retrievers are doing out here where I'm visiting....)

Well Golly, I'm a bit "wayward". I JUST saw the beginning of a Barney show. I had NO IDEA he was a small stuffed animal that sparkled into life as our Singing Barney. How'd I ever miss something as important as that?
Can't tell you how many times I've been "hearing" his friendship song in my head. ALWAYS makes me think of you all.

I hear you get a charge out of your glow-in-the-dark cast. That's cool (not that you HAVE a cast, but that it lights up AND you like it's glow). Lol: You've got your very own light saber! Bet even Sissy gets a charge out of that, grin.

I was out running errands today in my trusty lil w.chair, with Mocha trotting by my side....and ran into a store selling metal lawn art. Well, saw a butterfly and of course thought of you!
There was also a big coffee cup planter, so thought of your Mom. And right next door was another store that had a light saber in it...and yup, thought of your Sis!
Soooo m'dear, you and your family are never far from my thoughts and prayers!

Hi There Miss Kimmie-Kim,
How are you doing sweetie?
Hope you've gotten at least a tiny bit of a reprieve from your g'zillion seizures each day. Sounds MAJORLY rough AND disheartening. (Bless you, Mama-Bear!).

You'd laugh at my lil Miss Mocha. She's no longer a fluff ball. She looks like she's naked! My friend's only know one way to cut her fur: SHAVE IT ALL OFF! She's deep under the covers right now, trying to get warm...trying to get me to come back to bed and be her personal heating pad! Lol. She'd cover you with kisses, try to tug things from your hands...and commiserate with you over each and every seizure.

Thinking of you and your whole family, and sending LOTS of love!
Hey, please ask your big sissy if she EVER wears neclaces. I've got a cool dragon one she might like. Let me know, OK?
Hugs and more hugs, and prayer-songs too!

Ms Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>
- Thursday, March 24, 2011 1:10 AM CDT
Hi Kimmie, Hello Family,

Well, Mocha, my lil fluff ball, is watching me type, Lol.

She just had her bath/blow-dry...and with 2inch long fur that's a lot like cotton-candy...that's a LOT of fluffy-stuff. NOT silky like Pandy's, not shiney or smooth....just fine fluff that curles and swirles and get's tangled easily and that's a bugga-bear to comb, with this tendar headed girl. She's actually getting quite good about letting me brush it. (HOORAY)

Next weekend my friends will most likely shave her. Don't like it that short, but when friend's gift you, you say thanks soooo much (and remember how FAST it'll grow back) Lol. All of which is true, grin.

She'll go from looking like a HUGE FLUFF ball (all 14 lbs of her), to looking like a long, skinny, tall girl who's svelt, Lol

That's wayyy more than you ever wanted to know, but just wanted to come by and chat and just be with you a bit.
You all matter, and I care about you....and wish a million times over that there were some way to make your journey easier....but long distance...it just escapes me how I could possibly offer a ray of light on your world....but I stop by anyway, because I know what it's like when "everybody goes away because nobody knows what to say". So I come by, stumble over my feet, and hope you know the intent of my heart.

Much Love, Honor, Respect and Prayer-Songs all flowing.
And for big sis: May the force be with you. You ROCK, ya know that?! All of you do.

Well, I best close and say good-night, before I drive you batty with my chatter.
Luv Ya,

Ms Lu <LucelWings@aol.com>

Hi Kimmie, Hello Family,

Rolled over and thought of you....so thought I'd get up and come over and see how you are doing.

Mocha's not to happy about it, as she was in a deeeeep doggie-sleep and I was her heating pad (I've got the AC on). Now she's on the floor by my feet...she'll be snuggled up between them shortly, lol, or on my lap. But hey, I just needed to check in, and she'll get over it.

She could give lessons in how to sleep and leave cares to the wind! I guess I'm a slow learner, grin.

You Matter!
Continuing to cheer you onward and thru, and lifting you up.

How are you all doing? Have missed you!
A belated Happy New Year to you all. My computer crashed Christmas night, and just got back on-line Tuesday evening...and am swamped with trying to play catch up.

Our city's been closed down tighter than a drum since Sunday, due to snow/ice. It doesn't happen often enough for us to have the right equipment to clear things up. Things finally began moving a bit yesterday. Only one mail-delivery since it all started tho.

That's my world, what's happening in yours?
Trust Barney's bringing you great comfort, and driving your sissy a bit bannanas. No worries tho, kiddo, cause she loves you dearly, grin.

Take Good Care Everyone.

You Matter....yup, to (almost) total strangers....

Wishing you and your Mom some warm-fuzzy moments with smiles and giggles along the way.
Hope you and your Aide have special moments too, and that today is simply a very good day.

Good Morning, Kimmie,
Couldn't sleep......and for some reason that often makes me think of your and your sweet Mama, grin, so I'm popping on over to check on you.
My birds are fast asleep, and Mocha's snoring softly, curled into a tight lil ball no bigger than my 2 hands (She's long and tall and thin, and standing on her hind legs her head reaches my hips...so it's funny to see how tiny she can sometimes be).
Ooops, my lil birds have heard the clicking of these comptuer keys, and are churbling softly. I think it's a sound that you'd like. Sometimes they bark, giggle....like Mocha only real soft and quiet like...makes me laugh (tho I'm careful not to laugh in their presence, grin).
Hmmmm am thinking I better go fix myself a cup of hot coffee, cause if I'm up very long, lil Miss Mocha will definitely think it's time for her early morning walk.
Hope you're doing OK my fairy-winged sugar plum.
You and your whole family are definitely hero's in my book. Just sorry you're the unsung kind, as you deserve for the whole world to know how amazing and wonder-filled you are.
Heart-Hugs & Prayer-Songs steadily flowing Kiddo.
Luv Ya Lots!

Good Afternoon, Kimmie,
How are you doing sweetie?
Did you have another mean ole surgery? I bet it's SO HARD to know that these are to help you feel better, kiddo. I'm sure all you know is that it HURTS TONS and that you DO NOT LIKE it! And I daresay all that understandable grumpiness is REALLY REALLY hard on your precious Mom, staunch Dad and valiant Sis....not to mention hard on you! Bless your hearts.
And I haven't forgotten that waking up from surgery just isn't your best thing.
Lifting you up "extra extra much" m'dear. Your family and medical team, too.
You Matter!

Soooo sorry it's been so long since I've dropped in and said Hello. I had a bit of surgery of my own that's pretty much put me MIA, but hopefully I'll be back on track soon.

Hi Mary,
THRILLED to know you got some good, solid, restorative time away! That's splendid. They sound like amazing (and hot) places to visit!
Glad you had fun watching Maddison at the Star Wars convention. Sounds like fun (with just enough craziness to fuel the fire, lol).
Sounds like VERY hard stuff with Kimmie. An hour-long seizure must have left her (and everyone else) absolutely exhausted (with lots of pain as well). New Doctor's don't sound like a lot of fun, especially with more surgery pending (knowing it's NOT Bimmer's best thing). Praying this new one is thorough, comprehensive, compassionate and efficient.
Thanks again for the update.
As always, sending lots of love and warm support your way.

Wow, what a surprise,
Your g.book has a HUGE Barney on it! Can't see it now, and it wasn't WITH anyone's note, it was just THERE! Wonder if techo-savvy big sis pulled that off somehow??
Also, I always thought he was PURPLE, but in this big picture he looks fusia. Who'd have ever thought. Shows you what I know.
Anyway, just wanted to stop in and let you know I'm thinking of you.
I promise I'm NOT going bonkers about Barney....he's just sorta there "behind" the other entries. I scrolled down but he stayed there right up top. Twilight-zone moment, lol
Hope you all are hanging in there.

Sorry, have been mostly sick for July....with computer-forays few and far between, and very brief at that. But the prayer-songs and concern have continued, even without words.
Hope you had a good Birthday, Maddison.
Any dates yet for that hip replacement for Kimmie? That sounds nightmarish for all. Bless you.
Take Good Care

BIRTHDAY Hi Maddison,
Wow, what a splendid surprise, to find an update from you this morning. You made my day.
First off, Happy 19th Birthday! That's AWESOME.
Golly, entering Sophmore year of college already. You ROCK!
Geee, wonder why Special Ed is just NOT a surprise, grin! (I worked in special-ed center my Junior and Senior year in HS---school 7-12 then work 1-6). And my Foster son had Downs....awesome field and some rather neat collegues, too.
Hope you enjoy your youth convention with your church, and that you get the refueling you're needing to launch you forth into whatever is ahead.
Ahhh, Star Wars! And your Mom loves it to? Now THAT's cool! Enjoy!
Carrots to Nippet and Stella and Kudos to you!
Happy Birthday!

Glad you're basically holding your own, kiddo. Special thanks to your Sister for giving us a mini-update on you. Imagine it's equally hard for Mommy to know what to write, with everything being downright HARD.

Hi Everybody,
Hope those monthly trips to the hospital for bone-treatments are beginning to make a solid difference! Not sure if it also gives you a bit of breathing-room and a chance for a date night, or simply adds to your already overflowig plate.
Lots of Love & Warm Support continuing to flow steadily your way...and yup, prayer-songs continue as well.
Hugs from me, and tail-wags from Mocha (and churbles from the birds)

I was sitting in the middle of the bathroom floor, giving my lil pup a much needed fur-trimming....(with lil bits of fur flying everywhere) and for some reason you sudenly popped into my head and I found myself wondering how you are. Soooo, with mess all cleaned up and puppy bathed (she looks a bit ragged, oops) here we are.
So what's happening with you these days, kiddo? What have you been up to? Whatever it is, I'm sure you've been keeping you Mom & Dad busier than busy!
Rooting for you and cheering you ever onward, thru each day.

Have a new puppy here so I'm blurry eyed, lol.
When she's fiesty and full of it, I think of Bimmer...and if 3lbs can get to me, can barely imagine what someone Kimmie's size can come up with! It sure brngs you to mind a LOT. And when this wee one brings laughter, I find myself hoping you've laughter in your world as well. Hope how often you come to mind and are lifted up, feels supportive and not invasive. Internet's a funny thing....when you can't see someone's eyes or hear their tone of voice.
Hope this week's got lots of good moment's tucked within it.

Then we had unusual snow.

My pc quite Aug 31st '09 and I finally got enough together to have it repaired. I know how busy your lives are, and want you to know I remember all in my daily prayers and meditation.
This has been a winter we won't soon forget! There was a headline on the 'net: "49 states dusted with snow; Hawaii's the holdout" Think how happy we'll be when spring arrives. I said 'when spring arrives', not 'first day of spring' (which is March 20th).
Wanted to jot off a few lines so you'll know I'm thinking of all of you.

Hi Mary, Hi Kimmie, Hello All,
Well life has been rather exciting on this end. My appartment was flooded yesterday morning. Not an easy feat up on the 8th floor, lol. The ac/heater blew a gasket, and the heat part runs (if you use it or not, which I don't) on water heated to 140 degrees. It got so cold outside it blew the line. Picture water (jet black) pouring forth at the same rate as a tub on full blast, and you get the drift. You should have seen 3 burly men, and industrial size water vac (the size of my love seat) me AND my furniture all crammed into my tiny lil place...a couple of chairs were regulated to the hallway as neighbors gathered round for an 8am version of entertainment tonight, lol.
Gratefully: I'd taken down my 6 1/2 ft Christmas Tree the day before; got up early so did NOT have my ear-plugs in so could HEAR the water, and I hadn't left for my errands yet! 3 hours later everything was peaceful, calm, clean and you'd never know the joint had been jumping earlier! The neat thing with the contractor was that as he replaced several 30 year old parts (which means things will be better allergy-wise for me, grin) we talked about how incredibly blessed we are, and how this is small potatoes compared to tsunami victims and our Haitian neighbors on the other side of the globe. Certainly kept things in perspective, and definitely kept things from being miserable. The other good thing is, between the slidder-feet on my furniture and their own raisers, they were 1/4 of an inch higher than the 1 1/2 inch worth of water that filled my livingroom, so nothing was damaged.
Hope nothing nearly as exciting has happened in your world.(tho I think maybe my few hours describes much of your world on a daily basis, just using different words)
Luv Ya Lots and rooting for you as always

WOW, how neat to discover a post from you here. Man, that's dreadful (about cutting our Kimmie when cracking the cast). Inexusable!
Glad waking up from these last couple of surgeries hasn't been as hard as other times. My guess is, nothing goes smooth-as-silk for our gal. Hooray she's got the amazing family she does! Bless you.
Sorry you've had to go thru the challenge of finding a new Aide. NOT fun. Glad you've got someone that's working for both you and Kimmie.

So, how's it going? You all keeping warm? Have cabin fever yet? Am sure you've got way more than enough to keep you busy.

Hi Kimmie,
I just ran over to the update page and saw the latest thing to be praying for is for the bone meds to work....am wondering if this is to help with your pain and to stengthen them as well? I'm thinking a couple of surgeries had to be redone because the bones couldn't hold up? Hope they've found some good solutions for that...I know they can grow all things these days that can in turn help bone grow around it....and hope they can grow something that can help you & brings relief.
You've been thru the ringer, hunny-bun and definitely deserve a break! (understatement of the century)
Listen kiddo, give your folks and sissy my love, and keep bunches for yourself too.

Just wanted to stop by on this brrrrrrr chilly not-yet-wee-hours-of-the-morning, simply to touch base and remind you that you matter, and are being thought about.
Haven't forgotten the surgery were Kimmie took almost 2 months to wake up fully, and hope you're not going thru that paticular nightmare again.
Also remember surgeries where her body wasn't able to hold onto the repairs. Hope things were done in such a way this time, that her body could welcome them.
Hope healing is smooth and steady and the pain is minimal. Just hate that you're going thru all this right at the holidays. Bless you.

Hi Miss Kimberley, Favorite Fan of Barney & Friends,
How's it going Sweetie? You've been on my mind almost constantly the last few days, so figured I'd better hop on over and see what's new........and to let you know I'm thinking of you. (And Mom, and Dad and Big Sis).
Hope this change in weather isn't too hard on you, making everything hurt more than usual. DON'T want that happening to our Sweetest Princess! (but am thinking with all your surgeries it just might be the norm, darn)
Take Good Care, Kiddo....don't toss things too hard when you're upset, OK? Grin. Plan on MISSING people next time, we don't want your aim to be too very good. But we DO want you to be able to let us know how you're feeling. But there's the rub and the impossibe task isn't it? Expalining such things as balance and restraint when your world is soooo tiny and feelings are HUGE. Golly gee willigers and bless you one and all.
I think you and your whole family deserve a zillion gold stars for being the astounding folks you are! The things you deal with where we don't have even a hint of a clue how tuff it all is! Kudos and hats off to you.
Really, really hoping some smiles and giggles have come back your way. Wishing you a very good day.

Hope you're pain-free these days kiddo. Have someone give us a quick lil update OK? So we'll all know how to direct our Prayers, love and energy.
Do you all carve pumpkins for Halloween? Or decorate for Thanksgiving? I LOVE the Autumn, the crunch of the leaves, the smells, the colors......soooooooo perfect.
Hope the weather's gentle on all of you.
Luv Ya Lots.

Wanted to flutter on by and see how you're doing.
Seriously, I know last visit I just chatted about my world, but am VERY concerned about all of you in yours. Please let us know how this surgery went, how 'waking up' has gone, with our sweet Kimmie, how bones are holding up, how the pain level is. Hope things have remained infection free and she's healing well.
And hope you (Mom) aren't totally exhausted from all the efforts, worry and work.
Sending lots of love and warm support flowing steadily your way.

Hello Mary,
How's your weekend going? How's our girl doing? And what's our almost grown gal doing these days?
Just stopped in for a cup of coffee and a chat.
I've been busy today and was ready for a break, and couldn't think of anyone I'd rather spend it with, grin.
Got news earlier today that my older brother's going to visit tomorrow. I haven't seen him since the first of the year, and he hasn't been up here in over 2 years....hasn't seen my new w.chair accessible apartment or new furniture....so I've been busy making things sparkle! My Aide doesn't come to clean until Tuesday evening, and that's absolutley NOT helpful in this case...so figured out ways to get it done myself (you'd have laughed over some of my creative antics, lol). Pandy's all clean too, and soon I'm headed for a long soak, and then will join her for a nap.....and who knows, maybe I'll wake up in the middle of the night and have enough energy to make my brother some of his favorite cookies, lol...after all, lil sister's gotta be good for something, right? He's a gem of a guy and wouldn't care if my place was filthy....but rarely having company and having the most beautiful home I've ever had as an adult, well...just had to show it off at it's best.
Hmm, I've had fancier more expensive places that I've lived...but none were truly the cosy lil nest/sanctuary this place is....interesting how priorities change over time and how life's curve balls high-lights us with a bit of maturity, grin.
Looking forward to sharing some laughter with him...and hope he'll help with a few computer glitches, too.
Wishing you moments like this to look forward to....and lots of love and laugher to carry you thru.
Heart-Hugs & Prayer-Songs continue, Kimmie, as you keep healing from this surgery!
Luv Ya,
Ms Lu

Mary Sue and Gang-
I hope all went well through Kimmie's surgery last week. Considering the circumstances, it was good to see you again. Our prayers will continue to flow for you, Kimmie and the rest of your family. JP received great news yesterday at Hopkins. Next Monday he can begin to bear 50% of his body weight on his leg. In 3 weeks, he can bear all of his weight. We don't understand why things happen in the order that they do and only God knows the reason, but just remember, I am shuffling the cards quite a bit as I know you are too. Keep strong because God gives us only as much as we can handle. Sometimes it feels like it is too much-that is when He is making us even stronger. Keep the faith and we are praying for you.
Kimmie-I know you don't remember me, but I am your mom's cousin and I believe that you were given a special gift for a special reason. The reason to show others strength and to show those doctors what a remarkable lady you truly are. Your mom has a strength like no other, therefore God has given her a special gift as well. Continue to spread your strength and your smile!!!
Love,
Rhonda

Sheesh, I certainly hope her bones are able to heal solidly this time....our Princess needs a breather from all this pain (and so do Mommy & Daddy!!!!).
Thanks for stopping by and giving us a glimpse into what's going on, so we'd know more specifically what to pray for.

^j^ Hi Everyone! ^j^
Time's going so quickly, let's think "summer" with July and August, because before we know it Labor Day will be here, and with it autumn and lovely colored leaves.
Have you gotten used to being 18, Madison, and a high school graduate? As seasons change and time moves on you'll look back and say: "Can't believe I'm almost 19 and out of school a year." It may seem as if I'm 'jumping the gun', but you'll be surprised -- the older you get the faster time goes. Whatever your plans for now and the future, hope all goes well for you. ENJOY ... you'll never be this age again.
Hope Kimmie's holding her own. Mary & Tony how are you doing? Pray things are going as well as possible for Kimmie and family. As always, I'm certain all of you are 'on the go' with life!
I continue to think and pray for you people, your family members, and those whose hands touch Kimmie.
Madison, again I mention, keep us posted on the new chapter of your life.
I'll leave you with this quote: "Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, she became a butterfly."
~Author Unknown (^.^)
The love and peace of Christ,
Judy

Hi Kimmie,
I hear you're having a hard time getting a cast that works for you. A cut AND a pressure sore, I'd be tempted to say an angry word or two as well. Bless your heart, sweetie! You've got enough hard stuff happening in your world. You do NOT need ADDED stuff!
I sure wish we lived close by. I've got a pal who LOVES to do a clown dress up that's a bit like Barney. At first you might not like it since it's NOT "the big guy", but I do believe he'd have your heart won over before too long! Would love to make you laugh.
Sounds like your pool-party was LOTS of fun. I love the water more than anything else on earth. The ocean's my favorite, but I'll take it in any shape or form it comes in! I swim for rehab and I LOVE to imagine I'm right there in the beginning of creation where the water is teaming with life and new potential....since the water's rather hot (temp set for the brain-injury folks who aren't able to regulate their own temps) it fits right in with the imagery!
I hear HUGE things are happening in your Big Sissy's life. Turning 18 AND Graduating from High School. WOW.
Bet Mom's wondering where all the time went! I think Mom's suffer a bit from whip-lash....now you're babies, now you're not. The day to day can last a life-time, but the years, they fly by. I know that was true with my wonderful foster son David!
You all take good care and know you've got someone (lots of someone's, actually, grin..but I'll speak only for myself) who's rooting for you and your whole family. Cheering and rooting you thru the rocky-road (bolder size rocks, canyon size holes) one step at a time.
Take Good Care!

Hi Madison,
LOVE your Castle, m'dear! You've got awesome taste! Any chance you'll invite me up for tea? (welllll actually I'd be hoping for coffee, lol)
I thought you and Tiger looked kinda cute together. Any chance he's your new Bo? With him around you wouldn't need to drive, you could just go boing-ing/bouncing along (if he came up with a side-car for you, giggle).
I see why you liked Belle (and why Kimmie didn't--her dress might have been way too bright--and of course, it wasn't anywhere even CLOSE to being purple!)
I'm impressed with just how many people Bimmer DID warm up to this year. Wow, she liked Aurora, Spidey AND Ariel (along with her beloved Barney). That seems rather radical! Broadening her horizons! Hooray!
I love the Gigglie-Silly-Cheese-Girls. Those smiles have mega-watt power!
Glad you all had fun.
Thanks for sharing the pictures, and for the great captions too.
Trust you're pampering your Mom allllll weekend long (Mom's LOVE that, no matter WHAT they s-a-y, grin).
Hope you'll keep us posted on your driving, and WHAT you're driving, grin.
Hope you have a lovely weekend.

Hi Mary ,
I know it has been a long time since I have signed this book or even talked to you on the phone but I know the truth and you do not sugar coat things for me and Arch, and we do not sugar coat things about Holly for you . I know we have lost some of our closeness as the girls have gotten older and for that I am sorry.
I know how you feel about hold off as long as you can on getting Madison's drivers license , I made a promise to Becky she would have hers by the time she was ready to graduate, which she does next month.
Congrats on your wedding anniversary. In our lifetime more than 10 yrs is a long time. I am glad you and Tony are still so much in love with each other as you were 16 yrs ago, the things you two have faced it could have broke you but it didnt that is a testimony to you and the love you have for one another. I am there with you as Arch and I are at 18.5 yrs so I know what you mean.
I am here if you want to talk , tell Bimmer we love her and that we wish her the best on her surgery .Keep us posted and I love you too.

Hi Mary,
You put words to what I've felt was true. That we are beginning to say goodbye to our Kimmie, at least as we've known her. Yes, there are those of us out here who REALLY DO want to know the truth, no sugar-coating. And yet, I remember the longing of your heart expressed a couple of years ago on Kimmie's Birthday (and you said it here today)...the desire, the loooonging to be able to talk about all the wonderful "girlie stuff" that SHOULD indeed be yours to talk about. How horrible it is that mistakes were made by the medical proffession in the beginning that changed Kimmie forever....trapping her incredible spirit in a body that is broken and ravaged by pain and seizures.
And so, I try to balance my questions and caring with interest and support for Madison. Driver's License's are BIG stuff. And that independance is huge....and hard on Mommies too! Your world is sooo full of mixed stuff...every good thing has a twist of pain in it.
And I don't know what your other interests are, if you even ever have a second to persue anything...a book, crochetting...for I'd want to know about those "regular"things too. You and your life truly do matter.
Congratualtions on your Wedding anniversary. Wow, to love your dear hubby now, more than when you first began, that's dynamic, radical stuff. Many marriages fail with even the slightest hint of trials. And you've had entire ship loads worth...yet you've found a way to carry on together. That speaks VOLUMES about who you all are.
I hope you have a special day/evening together.
I'm soooo sorry our Bimmer is facing more surgery, is sleeping most of the time, and few things bring her joy. I'm glad she can and does still enjoy food. I'd send her a yacht full of pudding if I could. Oceans even. Tho I imagine by now her tastes might have changed and expanded.
You are loved. You matter.
And I think it's rotten that so many hard things have flooded your world....and that's such a mega understatement.
Can't even begin to fathom how hard it must be.
Still, I and others are here.
Thanks for coming on-line, and daring to share once again.
My utmost wish is for a healing balm to permeate every cell of your being and bring you peace.....(well, no, my utmost above all wish, would be for Kimmie to be vibrant, healthy, alive and a rascal with a brain going a mile a minute that you couldn't possibly keep up with, a rival with Madison for boyfriends and cars and a houseful of makeup, lipstick, nail polish, hair bobs, and nobody having a care in the world, other than how you'll share the car.

Photobucket Good Morning Mary, Tony, Kimmie and Maddison,
Wanted to be the first one to slip in here and wish you a Happy Easter, even tho it's still hours and hours until dawn.
Does the Easter Bunny come and hope around Disney World? Or does he slip in quietly in the night without being seen, as he does everyplace else? Figured since Disney's such a magical place, you just might get a glimpse of him.
Hope you've been having a lovely time.....and that you have safe travels on your return home.
Take Good Care.
Much Love & Warm Support,

Hi Disney Family: Disney World ... what a great way to spend Easter. I hope the weather cooperates, as in "I hope the rain 'KEEPS UP' and the sun shines brightly." I'm certain the change of scenery will do wonders for everyone.

THE EASTER EGG

And then I dip
It out of sight.

It's a lovely

Photobucket Hi Maddison, Hi Mary and Kimmie,
Wow, I stopped in to leave you a cheery Happy Easter message, only to discover you're 4 days into your Disney trip AND that you've been driving! Whew, miss a few days and you cram a lifetime in one lil ole update.
Hmmm, wonder if you were able to get enough packing done? Hope you were able to get some shut-eye in the car or wherever so you weren't blurry eyed for your first few days of fun.
Ahhh, a stick. Lol, you can't possbily do as badly as I did. Learned in driver's ed to drive an automatic. Started out with an old used car. Eventually saved enough for a downpayment on a new one (back then it made more sense and was less expensive than getting the old one fixed, so used it as a trade in). While on the lot, discovered stick shifts were $1,000.00 LESS, so came away with one, never having driven it before.
First I ran my OLD car into the new one (sheesh, a nickle size dent and it wasn't even out of the lot yet, arg). Then got the new one home, and took me 2 weeks to drive it, because EVERY street in that small town had a HILL. It was crazy! But, I got supremely good at it. Mileage turned over once and half again, and my original clutch still worked like it was brand new. That goes to show you things can have really crummy beginnings and can still turn out OK. I really loved driving it.
Now, to sound like a grown up (darn) as long as you drive safely, defensively and always have a designated driver if you ever decide to drink.......you'll do well. Enjoy and safe travels. And daring to sound even older (is 53 old? grin)....sheeesh, exactly WHEN did you do all this growing up?
Loving it! What a charming young woman you've become.
Thanks for the update.
Hope Bimmer gets to have some special Barney-time with her buddy, and that it's a good day, so she enjoys it to the fullest. Hope you have a blast, too. Hey, this time let us know some of the things you enjoyed as well, OK?
Luv to you and your entire gang!

Just dropping by to say hello. Seems I heard you folks had been to Florida at Disney again. If that's the case, hope all went well and you had a good time. No place like Disney to make us all feel like children once more. If you went, did you take pictures like last time? If you find time, I'd like to see some.
Spring's around the corner, and that means Easter. This is my favorite time of year, as it signifies rebirth and new beginnings. Let's celebrate the season with a poem.
* * * * *
LITTLE MARY - by Eliza Lee Follen
~ ~ ~
Little Mary was good;
The weather was fair;
She went with her mother
To taste the fresh air.
~ ~ ~
The birds they were singing;
Mary chatted away;
And she was as happy
And merry as they.
* * * * * *
And in signing off another poem for spring.

RAIN - by Robert Louis Stevenson

The rain is falling all around,
It falls on field and tree,
It rains on the umbrellas here,
And on the ships at sea.

So it was a blow-dry for Pandy and a hot shower and cup of coffee for me. Now we're both curled up enjoying the view from the comfort of our wee lil nest of a home. Nice.
Just wanted to stop in and let you know you continue to be in my Prayer-Songs and on my heart.

Hi Everybody,
Well, was Valentine's Day a big tado over at your place this year? Was there a school dance or pary or anything?Did you have a zillion crafts all over the house? Any romantic dates? Or were things filled with that all important family-love stuff and the warm support of caring friends?
I had a secret project I did for the 28 folks on my floor in this high-rise apartment building. It was sooo fun and seems to have gone over quite well. I LOVE secret projects, don't you? Sometimes it's important to have love flowing outward, when it's not flowing inward....makes for a different kind of "filling up", grin.
Hope you had lots and lots of all sorts of love going on over at your place.
Luv Ya Lots! Good wishes continue to flow steadily your way.

Hope school's going well (anything exciting happening for Valentine's Day???) and that life is inching steadily along.
Hope the latest surgery at the very least, took the edge off Bimmer's pain! I truly hope for lightyears more than that and hope our girl's pain-free and fully healed from the surgery. Hope as a result she's in better spirits and not throwing things with that strong arm of hers! Hope you're even getting a few giggles and smiles along the way.
Lifting you up Mary and your weary spirit. Wishing you a day of pampering that "takes you away".

Hello one & all: according to Madison's update sounds as if the family's been having a time of it w/ Kimmie's surgery. This time of year there are always more infections floating around waiting to attach themselves to the first person that comes down the pike. I hope things straighten out for everyone -- at least a little. The months of Jan & Feb are such a struggle for some people to get thru ... less daylight doesn't help! It's good we have the change of seasons. Here we are w/ the first month of 2009 just about over. I came across a poem for this time of year that may lift people's spirits.

Wow Maddison, Awesome update! You rock!
Thank you for all the news. Whew, sooo glad Kimmie woke up more easily this time! Now, for this infection or whatever's going on.....since it's not aliens (who we'd want to be friendly to) lets get them right on out of the park, and if it's something else, may the Doctors hit the nail on the head the first time and get our gal on the mend.
I must agree, Kimmie's got a pretty cool Sister, grin. And the rest of the family's pretty cool in their own right as well.
Hope good things are happening at school these days Maddison and that you've got some teachers you really like, some that challenge you to stretch further than you've ever reached before, a few that tickle your brain with curiosity and questions, and some that you simply excel in and enjoy. And, hope your home-work load isn't too heavy! May you excel in and enjoy whatever after school activities you've chosen to round out your world.
Waves to you Miss Bimmer, kissed to you and Barney. Glad you're up to playing. Just remember, no hard throwing of stuff AT people, OK kiddo? Aim for the floor when you're miffed.
Hugs all round.
Again, Great Job Maddison.

Hello again ... Kimmie is probably still in the hospital. Not the best way to begin a new year. The only way to live life, regardless of circumstances, is "one day at a time." We question, we have anger, we grieve -- but time only passes minute by minute, one hour at a time. I'm certain there's much in the way of inner emotions you're all trying to deal with.

Mary, Tony, Madison & all ... Pray Kimmie's surgery went well. Hopefully, this will alleviate Kimmie's pain. Being rid of pain will help Kimmie in other ways.
=> As with all grief, Mary, your grandmother's passing takes acceptance and adjustment. She's now in a place where she's at peace. I know that's what everyone says, but it's you that has to deal with missing her. "Death is not extinguishing the light; it is putting out the lamp because dawn has come." ~Apples of Gold, compiled by Jo Petty
=> As far as updates, Mary, everyone understands what a full schedule you have. Don't put yourself under more pressure than necessary. The updates will come eventually. You now have the Christmas Season as well.
=> Here's a Christmas poem I'm sending along. Praying that events fall into place for everyone at this holy and blessed time of year.

=> CANDY CANE POEM
Look at a CANDY CANE, what do you see?
Stripes that are RED like the BLOOD shed for me.
WHITE for my Savior, who's sinless and pure.
"J" is for JESUS, my Lord that's for sure!
Turn it around and a staff you will see ...
Jesus, my SHEPHERD, is coming for me.

Just stopping in to let you know I'm thinking about you. Hope your major owie, Mom, is healing. What a strong gal our Kimmie is....I can just imagine the challenge of bathtime, shampooing, dressing.....you never mention that sort of private stuff, but my guess is those daily chores are MAJOR challenges (and more than likely I'm making the understatement of the year). I'm soooo glad our Kimmie's got you 3 in her corner!
Maddison, I hope this is a BANNER year at school and that you really thrive!
Pictures are hung, plants watered and it's definitely home around here. Even found a cord for my printer, so hopefully cards will slowly begin being made again.

{{{{Hello All}}}}: You've had a time of it with that sippy cup, Mary. Yes, you can get a hair line fracture if hit hard enough and at just the right angle, and the pain can bring tears! All of you have a time of it. Kimmie, without realizing it, seeking comfort and family attempting to ease things for Kimmie and yourselves. Madison, high school senior year is more active than usual. Also, Mary & Tony, dealing with other circumstances that arise in your lives. In my daily thoughts and prayers I ask the Lord to stay close, and help you feel Him working in your lives. Even when there are instances you feel He must be occupied elsewhere ... He's still beside you. ^j^ Thought for the day: “Courage doesn't always roar.

Hi Kimmie, Maddison, Mary and Tony,
What a splendid surprise to discover your update this morning.
It is NOT splendid about your foot, Mary. Bless you! Yup, bet every bit of her strength was focused in that throw, not to hit Mommy, but simply because she has few ways to express her feelings, and when she does: watch out world.
It is NOT splendid about your ring....yes, even tho it's been replaced...but one thing that cannot be lost or tarnished, is what that special moment in time felt like, when your then-yet-to-be-hubby bared his heart. THAT you WILL have forever.
It is NOT splendid news about your Mom, bless her. How hard it must be to live with such drastic health-changes...I do understand about loosing more and more of one's independance...but she can still bless the lives of others, maybe you can remind her of that...that God's not finished with her, or she'd already be with Him! Of course you can't honor her wish to pray God takes her home.....you're not ready to let her go, and that's OK. But how hard it must be to be asked, and how hard to witness the changes and be powerless to do anything about them (I HATE that you KNOW that feeling inside and out and backwards again. Bless you a trillion fold m'dear).
It IS SPLENDID that Maddison is a Senior this year, and it IS SPLENDID that Tony walks lovingly there by your side...
and it IS SPLENDID that you love and cherish your family as you do.
Much Love and Warm Support continually flowing your way.
Take good care. Thanks ever so much for filling in some of the blanks.....DELIGHTED you had the cruise to shore your insides up! What fantastic images you now have in your mind's eye!
Hugs,
Ms Lu

Hi Mary, Hi Kimmie, Maddison and Dear Ole Dad!
I wanted to come by and let you know I'm thinking about you. Wanted to take another look at all your Disney photos. Maddison, My favorite of you is when you're in the middle of the other two super heros and you're all standing sideways. (That was NOT a typo. You are included, in my book, as one of the 3 super-hero's in the picture). Several of the others of you are rather cool as well.
And of course, I love the one of the whole family, and of Kimmie with HER favorite buddy of all time! Grin. Now I wonder who that could be? (beyond family that is-grin).
I'm also wondering how your Grandmother is, Mary. You mentioned she'd been in the hospital and then had to make that dreaded move to the Nursing Home. so, I'm wondering how her spirits are holding up, if she's made any friends, and how you're handling this major shift. (I remember it about broke my heart to see my Grandmother in a nursing home).
Well guys, I've bent your ear long enough, so I'll close for now.
Much Love & Warm Support flowing your way, as always,

Hi Miss Kimmie,
Pandy Bear here (Your Ms Lu's "fur person" pal).
Mom said you might enjoy a friendly visit, even tho I'm NOT purple and can't sing!
I can play with my golf ball and throw it onto all sorts of surfaces so it can make all sorts of sounds and make you giggle! I can pat it over to you and then take it back again. I can bring you toys and run beside your chair and curl up and keep you company.
All of those things would be my way of saying you are loved and you matter. Then, if you didn't mind, after I played chase with your big sister, I'd curl up next to your Mom so she could feel a bit of extra loving, too. Sound OK with you?
Since MY Mom is playing secretary, we'll close her way:

to see the time draw to a close. Altho, think of the memories that you'll have forever. As always, my prayers for situations that must be faced in the day-to-day world.
Thought for the day: "If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it."
The peace of Christ -- Love, Judy (^.^)

Mary, Kim and Family,
I am so happy that you had such a great trip and Kim got to see Barney. That is wonderful that she is doing so well off her meds. I will be praying for her that the pain will ease. I am praying that things will be easier for you Mary. Although, we don't seem to talk to much anymore you are in my thoughts and prayers a lot.
Love, Diamond

Hi Mary, Tony, Madison and Kimmie,
Glad to get your "official, verbal" update, but it is clear from the pictures that folks had fun. Yup, even clearer that our Bimmer had a love affair going on with Barney. But then, that's never been any secret! Grin!
Glad you had some adult-alone time. EVERY relationship needs that!
I'm glad that Kimmie's doing better without the seziure medicine. Sometimes our bodies are just wired weirdly. Just welcoming and celebrating the respit from constant seizures!
Sorry there have been no solutions to the pain tho. Sheeesh, hard, exhausting stuff. Bless you.
Ahhh yes, am lifting you and your beloved Grandmother up, Mary. Sooo sorry your having to bare witness to these changes.
Just wanted to stop by and offer a bit of extra love and support today.
And Madison, an early Happy Birthday to you!

Sometimes there's just two or three of us, and at other times you've got 10-15. Kinda cool, yes? Anyway, it's happening now while you're hopefully snoozing away. Just thought it would be a fun thing to know. (Tho some of the folks are on the other side of the globe so they're not trying to sleep in the first place, grin).

The water fountain behind Cinderella's Castle (next to Tinkerbell's Treasures) Has Cinderella in it holding a bird. If you stand directly in front of Cinderella and curtsey to her, you will see the crown behind her painted onto the wall go onto her head.

Sssh!

Besides, "If God did not want Kimmie to bless you, He would have done what the Drs. wanted to do. He listened to your prayers & cries & since you are faithful, He decieded you DESERVED your blessing!!!
You are doing a great job for Ms. Kimmie You & she have blessed all who come by to visit!!!

Hi Mary, Hi Family,
Thanks for the wonderful update, full of news and love and caring.....I'm just soooo very sorry that the news for Kimmie is so devistating.
Oh, Mama, you didn't do wrong or bad by the choices you've made...as catastrophic as much of Kimmie's life has indeed been, she has been surrounded with incredible love, warmth and support from her dearest, dear family. Maybe her Spirit has needed her to stay here in order to soak up all of that. She's chosen to fight, nobody made her do that.
I hope you have a splendid time at Disney. I hope it's a time filled with laughter, joy, excitment, enchantment, bonding, and all those wonderful things that make memories last a lifetime.
Can't wait to see the pictures of the prom.
You have so very much to be proud of.
Love you all dearly.

Hi Mary,

I saw your link from Cody's site. Typically I just keep things to myself but when I read the part about you feeling like it was your fault I just had to write this. From the heart of one Mom to another doing what you can to keep your child in good health and with you as long as possible is a totally normal response from any Mom or Dad (don't want to leave Tony out).

Dealing with our child’s medical issues is really no different than dealing with our own. There is no human way possible for us to know up front that when we resolve our medical issue of today that it will definitely cause us problems later. No Mom or Dad should ever have to feel guilty for following the heart in what we really feel is best for our child at any given time. Also, I want you to know that as a Mom, if the same thing had happened to any of my three children I would have reacted the exact same way. I had no idea all this was going on with your daughter and my heart really goes out to you and your family.

You did what every one of us parents would do if our child was in this state! We all want what is best for our children and parents always have that hope that things will work out!!

Please know that I am praying for you and Tony as you continue to care for your precious child! And by the way, I'm sure Tony knows exactly how much you love him :-)

You can go to "MySpace" and see pictures of the younger 3 kids, just look it up under either (Amy Rabold, real name) or (AJCreations, site name).

Good Morning Mary, Kimmie and Family,
Happy Day!
After 3 days of rain (which we've REALLY needed), it looks like we'll be getting a bit of a respit (I see hints of blue sky out there amidst the clouds-grin). That's welcome, as a bit of fresh air is always nice!
The animals (here at my friend's) need to unleash some pent up energy, and a clear day is just the ticket!
Perfect timing: For the first time in eons, I'm all dressed up in hose, heals, makeup and am going out to a Service. Will be a refreshing change, since mostly I'm housebound.
Wanted to stop by first tho, to let you know I'm thinking of you, and to indulge in the above chit-chat.
You matter and I lift each of you up daily, including extended family, medical teams, friends, coworkers, fellow students: the whole shebang!
Will close for now.

To everyone a special hello ... Mary, I needed a new pc and per usual didn't believe there was anything on my hard
drive I couldn't replace from memory. There were a few items I couldn't recall. "CaringBridge" was one of them --
I keep it in my "Favorites." Then, as has happened before, you sent an update and my situation was resolved.
Cody and your Grandma have already been added to my prayers. Two people world's apart, but both courageous and
strong. The Lord will be near to them. May they feel His presence.
As you said tho, the good news is your April family trip to Disney World ... and that's something to look forward to
for all concerned. I pray all goes well.
God bless everyone -- loving thoughts, Judy :-))

Hi Mary,
What a wonderful surprise to discover your update when I came over to "lift you all up in Prayer-Song". I love that Kimmie "back talked you" and discovered a measure of independance (tho I'm glad she didn't hurt herself during these "great escapes)!
Hoory that you all are going to Disney! Hooray. Hope you all have a blast.
Will go visit Cody after leaving here.
I'm so sorry to hear about your Beloved Grandmother's heart attach. Glad you have a bit more time to spend with her...Both generations before me are gone, and it DOES leave a hole....yet the things we shared together are as vibrant as ever within me and can still bring smiles to my face and heart.
Much Love and Warm Support to all of you.

'Am concerned about you, Kimmie and your family...haven't seen an update since Kimmie's Birthday. Please let us know how you are. I come almost every day, but don't want to "bug" you with too many signings. You truly matter to me and am concerned that things aren't going well. Hope you've got a solid support system ministering to you and your needs. Will gladly listen any time.
Wish you lived nearby, I'd bring over a crock pot of chicken soup and homemade bread so you'd have a night off from the kitchen (and get to feel "pampered" as well. Would sit and read or sing to Kimmie so you could induldge in an hour long soak. Maybe "big sis" and I could do our nails so Dad could go off for some "guy time" (unless he'd like us to do his nails, too? How does neon pink strike you, Dad, for your toenails? grin).
Mostly, wanting to communicate the love and warm support flowing freely and continually your way.

It may seem as if I disappeared, but it's not true. All of
you people continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. Like
everyone things have been up and down, back and forth, and every which way in my life.
People like Kimmie; you, Mary; Tony &, of course, Madison, who is maturing into a lovely young woman
... remind me:
>The Lord sometimes takes us into troubled waters NOT to drown us, but to cleanse us.<
You all speak volumes in your day-to-day lives showing
what The Lord's gifts of courage and strength look like in
action.
Love & Peace, Judy :-))

Hello Mary & Family,
I just wanted to say that you're all in my prayers. You've fought so hard and come so far and it shows, you have a little miracle there to remind you every day of the things to be thankful for. It kind of puts priorities in perspective. May a higher power watch over you, keep you safe and give you courage and strength.
Blessings.

Hi Mary, Hi Family,
Just wanted to pop in and see how you're doing, if there were any new updates, and basically let you know how much you continue to be in my heart on a daily basis.
You matter TONS, LOADS and LOTS....far more than mere words can express. It's incredible to me, how much a family can mean, when they are people I've never met in person. But, thru Caringbridge and Hugs&Hope, it just "happens" like that quite a bit!
Whatever you're needing in this moment, may it be there for you, in the most user-friendly form as possible!
Much Love and Warm Support, as always.

Gifts to get Kimmie:
Nice smelling creams, smelly candles. Kimmie is a girl I guess would like girly stuff. Maybe instead of gifts, get a gift card to her favoriate restaurant. CD music that she likes to listen to.

Time to think out side of the box. You have a teenager in the house. ;-)

Hi Mom, Hi Family,
Happy Birthday Kimmie!
Glad you felt free to vent. Nobody's "supposed" to be "up" 24/7 and with a Super-Intensive-needs-child you're definitly entitled to quite a bit of ranting and raving!!!
Shame on anyone who dictates what you should/shouldn't write at YOUR site. For heaven's sake, they need to get a grip! Venting does not mean you don't love your child/children or take joy in the fact that she's alive and here. It's the "and of the equation: AND it just stinks in a zillion ways. I wish you had all those "normal": fighting over clothes, bathrooms, bedtimes and etc.
Sometimes folks just don't the understand the gift of their "quality of problems".
No, even those of us with special needs ourselves and have a bit of a clue, we don't TRULY KNOW your world nor walk in your shoes. I'm sure no matter how hard we try, we'll miss the boat on that score!
You Matter! The details matter. The zillion things that take humongous efforts matter.
And I do hope there are ways for you to take "mini-breaks". Even if it's simply locking yourself in the bathroom to enjoy a long hot soak.
Sounds to me like Kimmie got her "fight" from you.
Thinking of you and sending warm thoughts your way.

My daily thoughts and prayers to all of you. I know you’re
aware that many people remember Kimmie in their prayers,
or should I say pleas to Father, Son & Holy Spirit.
“Let go, and let God” isn’t as easy as it sounds.

inclined to prayer; those pray most who care most, and
who, having worked hard, find it intolerable to be defeated.”

Jotting off a few lines so you'll know, per usual, how much all of you are still being remembered in my thoughts and prayers. I admire how everyday you face life with such courage and strength. I'm aware that some days aren't as good as others, but everyone needs to let down once in awhile in order to "recharge your batteries" so you can go on.
Take care and be good to yourselves.

There are many people on my daily prayer list, and the Lord knows the list better than I.
That's comforting to know, because if one day someone isn't mentioned the Lord is aware and takes care of it -- just as He takes care of everything.
When possible, be good to yourselves, and take time away from stress.
Love and peace to all ... Judy

How neat to pop in for a visit and see a new picture of our queen bee and have an update as well. Sounds like things are beyond hard these days. Bless you! Sure wish you could see Kimberly in the fullness you described. Glad she's got you all for family! Sorry about school and the kick in the gut that came with it. Hope they're able to begin the infustions soon and her bones can be strengthened a bit. 30 seizures before 11am...bless you big time, and our lil princess too.
Hooray for Madison: church, Nancy, track: Awesome! Sounding good!
Hope you're getting moments tucked in there someplace, to refresh your spirit, Mary. Your plate's been overfull for ages.
Continuing to lift you all up in Prayer~Song faithfully.
Much Love to you all.

Hello, again, to everyone,
The EXTRAORDINARY COURAGE and STRENGTH given you, Mary, Tony, family, friends, acquitances, and other families caring for God's children like Kimmie -- are given with a "special blessing" from the Lord for kind and gentle people. You've heard this before I'm sure and, at times, would like to tell people they do NOT have any idea what it takes, or they wouldn't say anything.
The Lord is "always with us", even when we experience extreme lonliness and feel a great sense of loss.
... thoughts, prayers, and peace to all.
Love, Judy
Do the very best you can ...
and leave the outcome to God.

Mary,
I'm so sorry.....but stay strong and fight for your precious angel! There is a program called an IEP, Individualized Education Program, that should be created for Kimmies needs! She can be home bound and not taken off the school records! They HAVE to provide her with an education plan even if she isn't able to go to school! Nicholas is immune suppressed and cannot go either! He is enrolled in a home room and a teacher comes 2 times a week! Keep fighting and never give up! Know we are praying for you!

Hello to all the family: Since July I've been without a pc but, Mary, you sent an update. Thanks for including me on the email list. Also, I put the site in my "Favorites" list.
With Christmas so close your household must be more busy than usual. Hope everyone is "holding their own."
I think so often about your family, especially our little trooper, Kimmie. You'll all be in my thoughts and prayers.
"Wishing you Christmas Blessings and Health, Joy, & Prosperity in the New Year."
Take care ... Love, Judy

WHAT IS CHRISTMAS?
by Roxie Lusk Smith

It isn't just a starry night,
Or snowflakes on the ground.
It isn't just a merry hearth
With good friends gathered' round.

It isn't just a Christmas tree,
Or gifts that play the part;
But Love and Peace
The Season brings
To touch the seeking heart.

Hi Mary and Family,
So good to hear your latest update. Things sound a bit better all 'round (tho I'm rooting for zero seizures, 4 is definitly better than 100! And how neat our princess enjoyed Disney on Ice! And "Mommy" "Daddy"...yup I dare say that's music to your ears.
Hope Madison has a wonderful time. I'm sure she'll look stunning! (Don't cry too hard, Dad-grin).
Glad you've got a bit of down time bowling.
Just wanted you to know you continue to be part of this household...in our thoughts and prayers, both here in my wee lil apartment, and in those of many others throughout the building.
Take care.
Blessings,
Lu

Hi Princess Butterfly (That's you, Kimmie-smile),
Couldn't sleep tonight for thinking about you and your Mom,
So figured I'd just get up and come over and visit for a second or two. Not much for signing guest books, but something said: "Get up and check on our Kimmie", so here we are. Mary, lifting you up "extra much" tonight. Cannot even begin to fathum what this nightmare must be like for you these days (and endless nights). You, Tony, Madison and Kimmie are lifted up daily in prayer~song with much love, honor and respect. Picturing you surrounded tonight with love, light, healing balm and all you need to travel thru today.
Blessings,

I pray God will give each of you added strength to face each new day with Kimmie.Even though I don't know you personally,I have a friend (Marsha Todd) who lives in Mooresville,NC and was kind enough to share this with me, and requested prayer for Kimmie. I pray that God will send a miracle especially for Kimmie.....He IS the GREAT PHYSICIAN!!!! May His blessings be with each of you!!!

As parents we love our children so much and when we can't fix something we look to professionals to help. How frustrating it must be to have a lot of unknowns thrown at you and the things you do know are really hard to hear at times. I pray for comfort and healing and good choices at how to help Kimmie the most. God bless!

Hello everyone,
Thank you for another update, Mary.
God bless all for the strength and courage you possess in your circumstances.
Not just you and your family, Mary, but people everywhere in the same situation.
To see the bravey and determination the families and children, also, demonstrate is incredible.
You are correct, Mary, when you say "just pray." Life happens, as it happens.
We need to ask the Lord to get us through whatever occurs in this life.
As always, everyone is in my thoughts and prayers.
Love and other miracles, Judy :-)

Mary I'm praying that the siezures can get under control. This breaks my heart for her and all of you. You're right she didn't do anything to deserve this. Mary, I want you to know I think of you so often and remember and hold tightly to the dream you had of Jordyn and Kimmie running through the field, happy and carefree. I pray that in Kimmie's dreams she's running wild and free.

I'm praying for your GB surgery. I had mine taken out when Jacob was 4 weeks old. I had stones and had numerous attacks during my last couple months of pregnancy and after having him, it was truly the best surgery I'd personally had and for me there was a wonderful end result...no more horrible attacks!

I pray the surgery and your recovery are smooth and you have very little pain afterwards.

Hi Mary: Just lost what I had ready to go in the guestbook. I’ll send again. Let’s see if I can get it
together, and not delete everything! I was “surfing the net”, and have your web sites in my "Favorites.”
--Praying for all, and especially you with your hand still healing. Once more, you have had your share of trials.
-- Patience is not one of my virtues. When God was distributing patience, I was been behind the door.
My prayer -- “Give me patience Lord, and I want it now.”
-- Take care, Mary, and love to everyone,
Judy

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving ......
Did you know more people travel for Thanksgiving than any other holiday? It would be more difficult for Christmas -- bringing all the gifts, and watching to see none are lost. Traveling has its good points, but the best part of going away was always coming back. There are people who look forward to “getting away.” My own home with familiar territory made me happiest.
Those who are going to keep the home fires burning, have a good Thanksgiving. Those who are going a distance,
have a safe and good Thanksgiving. My prayers for all, and “thank you prayers” to the Lord for granting me a
future favor -- such as bringing people safely back home.
Peace & Blessings go out to all for a Happy Thanksgiving,
Love, Judy :-)

Stopping by, again, to say hello,
Autumn leaves changing color is a lovely time of year and,
too, fall meant school was back in session. Kids look
forward to “All Hallows Eve“, Thanksgiving & Christmas.*
Autumn followed by winter, with snow to keep the ground
warm. Winter is knowing trees, blossoms, flowers -
all growing things - are sleeping under the earth,
preparing for their entrance in spring. Spring, the time
of year we witness God’s promise of rebirth and new
beginnings.
Praying everyone will continue to feel strength of mind,
body and soul, and always be aware of Christ‘s presence.
Remember the Lord sends His angels in whatever capacity He
knows they are needed.
Love & Peace, Judy :-)

Hello All,
=> Wanted to "wish everyone an 'All Hallows Eve' with fun
and surprises." It's evident kids today know what's
going on. They see it as a time to be silly, and not
constantly told to "settle down." HAPPY HALLOWEEN, and
autumn has definitely made its appearance.
=> Pray life is going as well as possible, and may you be
aware of God's permanent existence beside you.

Love to all,
Read your latest update, Mary, and wanted to write a few lines. Glad to hear you are feeling better. It must feel good to have that behind you.
You definitely have prayers for Kimmie. People who carry the bigger crosses, like those in your guestbook, have the prayers of many. Those "bigger crosses" prayers are so powerful they help lift others up in the world, and no one's even aware of it.
Peace and blessing of Christ, Judy

Hi everyone: “One day at a time“; hope my pc doesn‘t have downtime too soon! Mary, hope you’re feeling better and stronger since your surgery. Missed being able to put messages on Kimmie’s website. True the Lord constantly is with all of us, but it’s nice to see it in writing once in awhile. Even when feeling lonely and forgotten, the Lord is beside us 24/7. Many times our human side doubts; however, our Creator understands our needs and suffering better than we, and draws us even closer. My thoughts and prayers to all.

HI Family!
How'd your surgery go, Mary? Hope it went smoothly and the pain is minimal!
What's Dr. Bhan's first name? Maybe we can find him via the internet? Would be happy to spend some time looking.
Tony, don't you know you're not supposed to play with scissors? At least it was YOUR hair you shaved, and not Maddisons! (looking forward to that update, kiddo, about your trip! Hint, hint).
Delighted Kimmie is using her voice!

Being a mother and "keeper of the home fires", wanting to do things for Kimmie, and Kimmie wanting you, will be challenging.
My prayers to the family --

I'm sorry Dr. Bahn seems to be MIA and I hope you're able to track him down and he can continue to be Kimmie's beloved dr.

Hi!: Pc’s back . . . we have allot of power surges, and I lost data on hard drive. Repairs covered w/ 3 yr warranty, and most data backed up on disks.
==>I did get to read your latest email, Mary, but wasn’t able to respond till now. Sounds as if there’s been important things happening. I’m sure it did bring “tears to your eyes” to hear *Mom/Mommy* from Kimmie’s lips again. We take what each day offers, and hope God will give us another miracle.
==>Kimmie is a “little soldier” and all the loving and caring people - your families, friends, caregivers, medical personnel, school staff, church members, neighbors, etc - who give of their time and efforts, and daily thoughts and prayers from around the world keep everyone putting one foot in front of the other, day after day. Kimmie, you, Mary, Tony, Madison and all these people are living lives like Jesus. “Actions speak louder than words.”

Love the picture of you and Maddison! You both are looking very grown up these days. (Hope you enjoy being here in Ga, Maddy. Sorry you hit us during our hot/steamy/rainy days! Stay cool). Hope it's a fabulous year and school for you.
Kimmie, my how limber you are to enjoy your toes! Love your purple outfit, too.

I just talked to a friend up in VA. down in Fredricksburg
who's 12 yr. old son just had his VNS unit put in and they
are getting ready to turn it on... I've been meaning to get intouch w/ U to talk about it... but he's got it in already : )
Both you mom's are outstanding and even having my 2 w/ their disabilities ( especially w/ the speech ) I will never know 1/2 of your struggles . What I really miss is being around when the kids were small, I mett my friends son when he was 2 + Kimmie when she was 3 or 4 !! - It's amazing how much she has grown : )
I know U will LOVE the upgrades in the bathroom !
the little things in life :)) our bit of good news apply's to the talking too.... Kody started pretend play -making back / forth conversation w/ toys ! Bri didn't do that till she was at least 6 - : ))
even thought the twins wont be 5 till March... I feel like they are growing up so fast ! they're going on 5 !!! :o OK... enough of me .
Again I'm so glad to hear the GREAT news .
I hope the rest of the summer has wonderful surprises in store. Give the girls hugs from us .

Hello to everyone, again,
The note is to say I'm "thinking of you", and extend prayers to family, extended families, caregivers, and friends. Hope the summer up to now has been good to all, and the weather has cooperated. I like to stop and keep the "Hugs" going. The idea of that is quite clever and very cute. Try to work in your deserved respite "once in awhile", and then it's go, go, go. Take care, everyone, and know that many people remember all of you.

Hello to all once again:
I've been so thankful ever since I read the good news the day of Kimmie's surgery. Courage on everyone's part was needed yet again. The following says it better than I'd be able, and it sums up life is such an honest way:
"Resiliency is an important factor in living. The winds of life may bend us, but if we have resilience of spirit, they cannot break us. To courageously straighten again after our heads have been bowed by defeat, dissappointment and suffering is the supreme test of character."
~Thought for the day~ *Dont be afraid to be afraid.*

Wishing you God's miracles,

Dear Mary, Tony, Madison, & our special butterfly, Kimmie:
I see Kimmie's surgery is scheduled 11:30, Tues, April 26, Fairfax Hospital. Thanks for keeping us informed, Mary. That day there will be thoughts and prayers going heavenward. Rest assured the Lord will listening intently, and angels will be keeping watch. As we know, angels are spirits sent by God from heaven; however, there are other "angels" sent by the Lord that aren't aware that God has brushed by them with special blessings to pass on to people in need of them here on earth. Blessings like peace, faith, hope, courage, strength, fortitude, perseverence, patience, long-suffering, and renewing coping skills. They come in the form of a smile from a passerby, an attentive hospital staff member, or maybe the person who held the door somewhere for you that day. When there happen to be a few seconds, riding in the car or sitting in a waiting room, and your concerns begin crowding in, close your eyes and picture yourself in the loving arms and secure lap of Jesus. That's where we all reside.
~Thought for the Day~ "The secret of prayer is secret prayer."
{{{{{{ to everyone }}}}}}, and remember there will be a lot of people in prayer for Kimmie and the family during this time period.
Love, Peace & Blessings for all,
Judy

Hi Mary!
My name is Marsha and I am a member of the prayer bears. I visited Kimmie's site for the first time today and that is when I found out you live where I was raised. I lived in Manassas until 1993. Perhaps I know you. My maiden name was Mullins. I am 43 years old. I want you to know that little Kimmie is such an inspirational little angel! She looks sooooooo sweet. I will be praying for her and for you all. May God bless you. If you want, e-mail me. Maybe we have some connections where our paths have crossed. Take care and give Kimmie a big hug for me and my family. And may God's loving arms surround you and give you strength. I am praying for a miracle for Kimmie.
Love in Jesus,
Marsha

Hello one and all, working so diligently for various causes. Another informative update, Mary. Oh, that I could find the words to lighten everyone's soul, and make each day a little easier. As everyone else, I've had some tough times, too. This is one of my favorites.

I believe in love, even when not feeling it.

Hi
I wish I could come see you and give U the biggest hug !
+ just take Bimmers newest ( well not so new ) issue away.
I'm nervous about another surgery for her too, but lets try to remain hopefull and put the things that could happen way-y-y back on that far burner :) out of mind ? :) I will remain positive for U + of course have U all in my prayers.
Her body's metabolic life is not cooperating but she has a very strong spirit and so does her family ( including distant ones - like us :) I hope that this next step is not as painful. I will be thinking of U all .

Sending my love,

For you parents

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.

Hey One & All :^)
Mary, just noticed the "TickerFactory.com" you put on Kimmie's home web page. Really cute, and l-o-v-e the color, the flowers, and there's *Kimmie Butterfly* right in the middle! I don't realize how quickly time's going until I see something in "black n' white." I recall so vividly you telling us in your update about Kimmie's birthday and her bowling party. Seeing it in writing, you realize Kimmie's well on her way to her next birthday; almost 6 months, the half way mark. Before long, everyone will have to practice singing 'The Birthday Song' again.
In the meantime, we'll enjoy the dawning of spring with summer to follow. I love the change of seasons ... it's so easy to see the hand of God at those times. If anyone ever doubted there was a God, watch the 4 seasons closely.
{{{{{{{{ Love, peace & blessings to everyone }}}}}}}}

I know it stinks to keep having health issues arise.
I am so glad to hear that you are staying on top of it and hanging in there.
With the rain , comes the sun.
I hope that me FINALLY signing on :)
Helps brighten the day.

{{{{{{{{{{ Hello All! }}}}}}}}}}
Mary, Kimmie, Tony, Madison, and everyone: Did you know the Easter Bunny has been to Kimmie's website? It looks as if "spring has sprung." A new picture of Kimmie wearing an Easter Egg color, with a big "spring smile." The colorful flowers remind me of dried flowers I find so lovely ... having them indoors brings hills, vallies, and meadows inside to admire and appreciate.
Like those new photos, too. Can't believe how mature Madison is. She no longer looks like a kid - she's a young lady. And Kimmie appears older, too. Not a young kid, but an older kid ... and there is a difference! The 2nd picture was probably the one you referred to, Mary, when Kimmie had ink all over her. And the ice show - I would like to be twirled around, too. It's like a ride at an amusement park.
Signing off so take care, God bless, and "here comes Peter Cottontail"--hope everyone has an enjoyable Easter. The warmer weather isn't too far off now.
Love and other miracles, Judy :~)

Hi Mary & Kimmie,
I just had to pop in and tell you that you'd better vent or you will explode! I've been keeping up with Kimberly for awhile now from Hugs & Hope. I guess I just wanted you to know that even though some of us haven't walked in your shoes, we can still help share some of your pain.
Have you told Kimmie about your dreams? I think that one would have a great time playing on the monkey bars, lol.
Strength, courage and peace to you. Just know that we think of you often...

Wanted to let you know I read the latest update today (2/23). Sounds as if you all have had a lot on your plates again. When Kimmie gets the flu, or anything else, it's a different story. The Lord was watching over you, Mary, Tony and Madison; you didn't get anything too serious. No wonder you had aches and pains when painting, with so much going on your body probably thought you had the flu. Glad Tony's illness wasn't too bad. And Madison is growing up, by the things you're saying.
All of you take care and God bless. That goes for "everyone" out there with too much on your plates, and there are many of you.
Love, peace & blessings, Judy ;^)

Hi everyone: Have had a sinus infection, but been wanting to send a few lines. Mary, I like your most recent graphics on Kimmie's home page even more than the previous one. This one is a pastel, and I like pastels. Reminds me of spring and Easter. And it's from the purple family. I'd call the color lilac, but most people call it mauve. A beautiful color to match a beautiful angel. Hope the angel, her family, and extended family are doing well. As always, you all are in my daily thoughts and prayers. The list of people I pray is so long I say to the Lord: "You know those people on my list better than I. You don't forget anything." Until next time, take care and God bless.

Dear Mary, Tony, Kimmie & Madison: First I have to comment on your lovely graphics. You got the color purple right. Anything from lilac, mauve, violet, pale to deep purple. Purple is the color of royalty. Pictures of the mock trial before Jesus crucifiction, He has a purple garment thrown around His shoulders. In the graphics the angels are there, the flowers are there, and the butterfly is there - the beautiful large picture at the top of page. The butterfly's name is Kimmie.
Mary, hope you and Madison enjoy your ski trip together. And who would have thought 10 or 11 years ago, that Kimmie would still be here with all of you. As you and Tony know it's been hard going, but you wouldn't give one minute away. Kimmie is a true soldier, good as any brave soldier who fought in any war. Everyone fights a war of some kind in their lives.
Until next time - take care, my thoughts and prayers to all, God bless everyone, and may God hold you all in the palm of His hand.

I'm glad to hear your going skiing with Madison. As you well know, often times we get so caught up in taking care of one child that the others get the short end. I found myself being short with Justin and Daniela this morning. After reading your update it reminded me that they deserve more.
You both help me be a better father...

Love Ya....

Hello to everyone: From your latest update, Mary, it sounds as if you and Tony are off and running with more changes. Some of those changes are good and some, well, take it one day at a time and see what happens. Bimmer is really a little soldier. I like to stop by and let all of you know, as always, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Can't believe Jan '05 is almost over!

Hello to everyone...for the first time in 2005. I just wanted to wish everyone, everywhere, a new year of love, faith, and hope in abundance; with courage, strength and fortitude that will help all of us through another year. Hopefully, we will face each day, one day at a time, and continue to put one foot in front of the other. Let us not forget that the Lord God Almighty is always with us, and His angels travel the road with us as well. "Give It Over ... Let Go and Let God."
With that I'll sign off until next time...

I keep all christmas decorations up for this special feast day and now I am taking them down. You are always in my prayers and when I saw your email address today, I knew it was important that I write to you and your mom, Mary. Special, courageous children like you are why my first love as a nurse is children and babies. Take care.

Season's Greetings Everyone: Hope you enjoy Christmas, and have a Happy New Year knowing everyone's thoughts and prayers are with you. Sounds as if you are eagerly looking forward to the Holidays. When Christmas Angels bring "glad tidings of great joy" they, also, are there to watch over everyone. I believe if you stay quiet for a few seconds, you may be able to hear the flapping of wings. And now it's time to celebrate this special time of year.
Love & Peace To All ... Judy

Hello everyone: Just stopping by to extend best wishes to one and all for this special time of year. Mary, I love the holly on the "home page" of Kimmie's website; it's lovely. I've asked Baby Jesus to bless all the family, and Amanda, too, during this season of "peace on earth; good will to all." I'm so glad Kimmie had a nice birthday, and hope the holiday season will be good to everyone. Extending thoughts and prayers for a Happy Christmas. May the Infant Savior shower everyone with His special gifts of faith, hope, love and understanding in the New Year of 2005.

"I can do all things through the Lord, who strengths me."
Hi All: To let you know I'm still thinking and praying for everyone. Take life "one day at a time." Why can't we do that? "Let go and let God." "Give it over." And then we keep taking it back -- people do that. But the Lord has such patience, and always understands.
As always, thoughts and prayers go out to all ...

To everyone
You must not lose heart even when things seem their worst. Just know that you are prayed for by many and when you call on Jesus, he will answer prayer. When I call on Jesus all things are possible -- and know that he will move heaven and earth to come rescue you when you call. All hope is not lost, be encouraged and know that God will take care of you. I am saying a prayer for you and will continue to keep you in my prayers.

To God's precious angel, "Bimmer", dearest Mary & Tony, "special sister" Madison & loving Geisler grandparents:

I can't tell you how sad I am to hear your news. Both physically and spiritually, Mary, you have a grasp on what's presently taking place and what will happen. It takes a person close to the Almighty to figure out these events. Not saying it won't still be difficult, Mary, but you understand what is transpiring. Every individual needs time to grieve, and each person's grief is different.

It has again been proven to me the Lord knows thoughts and prayers. For the 3rd time my daughter, Lisa, picked up my PC and installed it yesterday (11/4). (Seems ok) One of the first things I thought about was getting in touch with Bimmer and her family (you) to see how things were doing. (I'd have to contact my Uncle Don, to get Kimberley's email address.) This morning (11/5) I was responding to an email from Lisa, and the icon in lower right corner of my monitor indicated I had a new email. When I checked, it was your update Mary. Believe due to the fact I remained calm (tend to be "up tight"), and so it quietly came to me.

Some people appear to have more problems and grief in their lives, while others glide along on more of an even path. Or perhaps it just looks that way to others. None of us know what goes on in the lives of people, or what they have been through.

Thank you, Mary, for keeping us informed ... and as I've said to you before "writing can be healing." As always, everyone's in my thoughts and prayers.

Love & Peace, Judy

Hey Mary , Miss Bimmer, Madison and Tony.
First , Mary, I love you like a sister I never had. I know what you are going through because of the girls common problems they share. I will say you are stronger than I. I am glad that you have found the peace needed to let Kimmie go when God calls her home. Like I told you earlier, Kimmie was placed in your care and with you because she was supposed to help you teach the world a lot of little lessons that everyone who never goes thru the world with hard times like yours to show them that even when things arent picture perfect doesn't mean that we are discards . Holly and Kimmie have a kinship that Neither you or I would have thought possible. That little time they spent together was amazing for all of us because Holly saw that she was not the only one who was different , but that Kimmie was like her in many ways. They shared toys with each other and neither one of them ever really likes to share what is theirs, But they did with out argueing or fighting. I love Didder , I will not say bye but take your wings my angel and fly high and free when you are ready. Because then you will be free from pain and suffering. Just know that your mama is special and needs to know you are around her. Madison , remember if you want to talk to someone who is the older sibling who has lots to go thru like you have with Kimmie , Becky is here. Tony, I didn't get to know you as well as Mary , but hang on to her cause she is one of a kind. Together you have made a invincible team , that has gotten through lots of trials together and that will continue through all to come. Miss Didder , I Love you .
I love you all and Mary, I am here day or night no matter the time . LOVE , Missy

Robert sent me the page about Kimmie. I think God has given you a little glimps into what He has for Kimmie and you are making the right decision to let your butterfly go. I am sure this was not an easy place to come to and will not all be easy in the future but I will be praying for you. I am thankful God can be with you, Tony and Madison even though I know it is hard. Your little butterfly has been such a happy little girl even though she has gone through lots. May God just surround you with His love and His special presence. My Prayers, Fay

I know how very much Kimmie means to you and I am glad you have found some peace to do what comes next.I will always cherish our friendship that has formed due to Miss Kimmie and I will always be your friend.
Kimmie,
I love you and Barney says you are special....So if you have to fly ...you have my blessings.....

Hi everyone: From Aug 20 update hope and pray surgery went well and things are working out. You all have had a time of it. Mary you're not being selfish for wanting the things you do for Kimmie -- you're being a loving parent. Had to send Don email to reach "Kimberley" web site. Didn't hear from me for awhile; PC was down, lost everything. After reinstalling still having problems. It's under warranty; going to ask for new one. If you don't hear from me for awhile again you'll know why. Always remember you all in thought and prayers.
Love & Peace, Judy

Hi Ms Mary and family,

Your entry broke my heart and I'm in the same position of watching Nicholas' health decline. It makes us as Moms feel so helpless because we can't "fix" it! God will see you through this and He is carrying us all right now. I know you said not to write this but KNOW HE LOVES YOU and bask in His Love. His plans are on a higher plane than ours. We will be praying for you all during this trial.

Dearest Bimmer, Mary, Tony, Madison & All: Mary, you are "BURNED OUT." You feel very strongely that the Lord has abandoned you, and you have a right to feel rage. I'm betting Tony, Tony's parents and your family, too, are experiencing a lot of frustration observing you and your pain. I'm glad you were able to write what you felt. I'll stay in touch ... you will definitely be hearing from me. In the meantime, I'm sending my love to everyone ... Judy

Hi Kimmie and crew!
We're thinking about you here in Houston and hope the hospital stay will be really beneficial for you. :) The Haldago Bay flock all say hello! (Tripoli the yellow nape keeps telling me everything I do is "Wonderful"- literally. I tell her I'm going bye bye and she says, "Wonderful!" Hmmmph.) Anyway, if you have a short stay in the hospital, that, too, will rate a "wonderful!" (from ALL of us.)

Hi everyone...I check CaringBridge website every day. Sounds as if things are moving along. We're all aware there's always some 'bitter' with the 'sweet'; but we have to keep our faith and hope. I'm certain you, Mary, Tony, the girls and grandparents know that only too well.

If the pins are causing problems glad they found out, and they'll be removed today (6/30). I agree with you, Mary, hope they keep Bimmer for at least a day.

Your new website looks great! Of course, I'm partial to butterflies and flowers. They're both beautiful.

Madison is 13! You took the thought from my mind, Mary ... a teenager! A belated Happy Birthday, Madison.

Your house getting a new look will give everyone a lift, including the kids.

You all are in my daily thoughts and prayers. The Lord and His angels will not forget any of you.

With the love and peace of Christ ... my love, Judy

Hi everyone: From your latest letter, Mary, it certainly sounds as if there's been one thing after another (par for the course). The Heavenly Father must have given all of you unique "coping mechanisms" to deal with everything that you do. You all surely have special closeness to the Lord and His angels. I know that doesn't make life any easier, but like a miracle you manage to caring on with your lives -- even "Li'l Bimmer!" It is truly astounding; all of you are an inspiration to everyone.
My thoughts and prayers go with you, and the love and peace of Jesus will always remain with everyone ...

We help each other through the hard stuff. I deal with DRS who think that parents know nothing and they know everything. Please remember no matter the time of day or night I will talk or just listen if you need to vent . I LOVE YOU like my SISTER. DON'T FORGET THAT!!!!!!!! Give bimmer a hug and tell her it is from missy and tell MADISON, I think she was the one who was right and should not have had to go thru all that other stuff.

Hello again everyone: Strep is easy to pick up, Mary, and Kimmie's immune system, having just had surgery, too. Good it was found. Doctors need to know what something is before they can prescribe correct medication. Better Kimmie remains hospitalized. I know it's rough on family ... and, also, rough on Kimmie. A lot of people are with everyone in thought, prayer and spirit. You are not alone or forgotten; and God is always with you.

Hi Kimmie,

I was thinking about u today, and thought I would tell u what a friend did for me. My email name Lobosgirl, means lonewolf. Well the other day a friend sent me a wolf. I love it and keep it on top of my computer. As soon as I can I will send u a picture of it.
In the mean time, u hang in there and I always have u in my thoughts and prayers.

Love Eileen

To our beautiful & special Kimmie, & all her extraordinary family: Wish I had a magic wand I could wave to make everything all right. I'm not going to say I know how you feel, because I don't. I hold everyone, including Kimmie, in such high regard due to your courage and fortitude. There are probably times you feel these qualities are not there, but everyone needs time to rest. At times you may think that God has overestimated what He believes you can handle. God has allowed you to move ever closer to Him by these events. God and His angels are always beside you. They understand Kimmie's and your needs like no others. Each person who knows you, Kimmie, and your family, tries to give you some of their strength, and take some weight from you. Mary & Tony I pray Kimmie's surgery goes well, and Mary you need to take care of things for yourself, too. Madison, glad to hear that you're doing better, as well. Bet you like being back at Young Marines. Remembering you all in my thoughts & prayers. The love & peace of Christ, Judy

Sam and Ben are certainly creative, aren't they?! They were clowning around and with a simple hat, paper towels for a beard, and lots of pillows...emphasize LOTS....they came up with these costumes that they wanted to share with you. I don't know, I think Ben (on the right) looks more like a very well fed Sumo wrestler!

It was fun to see them waddling around, and FORGET trying to sit down...they plopped right off the chairs. (That is, the chairs they managed to even make contact with. With so much stuffing, they couldn't see where they were aiming and usually ended up on the floor. They didn't feel a thing with so much padding, though!) They eventually gave up, so the costumes weren't on very long, needless to say. Thank goodness, I was worried about my pillows' stuffing!

We're thinking about you here in Houston! (It was 75 degrees here today, can you believe that?!)

Hi Mary, Tony, Madison and Kimmie, I was your nurse in the hospital, Mary. I hope your recovery continued to go well today. Maybe you'll still be there tomorrow, and I'll see you. If not I was so glad to meet you. I was amazed meeting you and realizing all the suffering you and your family have endured. You were so sweet and patient. You just had surgery and you were a sweetheart! I didn't get to talk to Tony much but I could tell he is like you, both of you are wonderfully loving people. When I think of Tony he had a continuous smile on his face especially when he said he was going home to the children. What spirit both of you have. You must be so thankful for each other!!Thanks for giving me the web site address so I can keep in touch with you and say Hi to the rest of your family every now and then.
Remember you have to take it easy now that you're at home. That's probably hard to do with all you do but you have to take care of your tummy. Tell everyone I said Hi! I hope your feeling better, your back too. By the way did that phone work out for you during the night? Hopefully they fixed the regular phone today. With God's Love, Judy

Hi Kimberley and family. Wow you sure have been thru a lot already. Its such a shame, and I hate coming across new Caringbridge sites, as it just means another kid going thru something no kid should ever have to deal with. My son has leukemia (ALL) so I kind of know the toll it takes on the whole family emotionally, financially and spiritually. Its also very hard on any siblings too, they don’t understand why its all happening (and how do we explain when we don’t understand ourselves!) Well, I hope your parents consider letting your site be added to our Adopt a Kid’s Site, it brings more visitors and more thoughts & prayers. Just click on the link below and let us know if you are interested!

So I hope you are all doing good today. I had to fix fences so I could move the little horses to a new pasture yesterday. So far so good.Starlight hasn't figured out a way to get out..LOL Ghosty just likes the fact that it's new and more room to run...and as usual Gabby is standing guard over them to make sure they are ok.
Fred says hello too.:o)
Well just wanted to say hi and send lots of hugs to you and the girls. oh yea prayers too..
Have a great day..Miss Kimmie, smile i love you too..

Kimmie- your smile always makes my day. :o) Mary- I've had very similiar problems to yours, and after your surgery... believe me, you will feel like a different woman. (that is, after you heal!) Love the new poem you shared. I lost a child to cancer a few years ago, so I understand your feelings of being overwhelmed at all that's happening to your family. God will see you through, Mary. Bless all of you!

Everyone has a few down days some have alot of down days the way I cope with it all is to find just one thing to smile about and turn it into a laugh.I try to keep a sense of humor (even if just for a fleeting minute). I don't know what it is to live a day in your life but if I can make you smile it makes me smile,
KIMMIE,
YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!HAVE A TIGGERIFIC DAY! AND SMILE :)

HI!! I havent posted a note before but i read about Kimmy all the time and I pray for her. I am sorry to hear that she is having a harder time. When my son was diagnosed with Spnial Muscular Atrophy I was told that is the worst thing that he could have been diagnosed with. On the contrary. Even though he is weak and will lose the little muscle he has and we dont know how long he will be here, I know we were blessed with him. I read how much you go through and can feel the pain that you feel through your words. I know I dont know how you feel and I wont even pretend to, just know that you are a wonderful mom for giving so much to your child when it seems like everything is being taken away. You are a very strong woman and your daughter is very special. I wish you peace in knowing that you are caring for her and making her life to be the best it can be even though it is tough. God Bless

Mary,
Thank you for sharing so much with my family, while your own is struggling so greatly. For reaching out to us in a parents greatest loss (losing your child) and then being so kind in giving to Jacob the beautiful books last year! They're his favorite books!

Thank you also for sharing your dream with me of Jordyn, Kimmie, and the other little girl. I do believe our children speak to us through dreams and sometimes they have to go through other people.

May you always feel God's love surrounding your family. I'm so thankful that I believe in God and have Jesus as my savior...I can't imagine how unimaginable this life would be without them...it's hard enough waking up everday with out my precious daughter. I know Jordyn is safe in Heaven and one day I will be with her again.

God Bless and please hug Kimmie for me...ps would you tell me exactly when Kimmie was a Featured MACS child?!!!!
