Dear Janet,
I don't know if you will ever read this post since you are moving on, as you should. I just want to say that I'm glad there was a "happy ending." You two truly deserve it and it has renewed my faith that things can work out in this lifetime. We will never forget you guys and your sweet angels! Some day they will lick this monster! Till then we, the MLD Foundation, will continue to support families on the MLD journey and continue to push research for a treatment and a cure! God Bless your family!
Butterfly Hugs,

that handsome boy, Truett

I want you all to know how much your
angels have meant to me.Maybe someday
I will get to West Texas, or we just happen

Dear Joiner Family,
What a wonderful surprise when I checked your site tonight and saw the picture of Truett. After your heartbreak of losing Ross, Trevor and Brody, this news is wonderful. It has been quite awhile since I visited your site but I always hoped there would be wonderful news from you again.
I'm so glad I visited again before you removed the site as I would have always wondered how you were. Thank you for the many entries updating us all on your wonderful family.
Take care, enjoy Truett - he's beautiful!!, continue your loving ways and God Bless You All.

Janet and Joe, Congratulations!!! You are both amazing parents and have had alot to handle in the past years. I always knew that God would not leave you with all that pain and suffering that you both had to endure. I still wonder what was the purpose of us having to loose our prescious kids. I do truly believe that someday we will see them again until then all we can do is wait. Thank you for all the moments that we shared together and your support. I will always remember you all. You all have a special place in my heart. Take good care of your new baby. It is sad to know that this will be your final entry but at the same time you deserve a new begining.
Love always Angela/Angel Ashley.

Dear Janet,
What a beautiful entry and a beautiful end to a journey beyond words. You have restored my faith in miracles and the fact that they really can happen after years of storms. I wish your family a beautiful life! Maybe someday our paths will cross and we will meet face to face but for now it does my heart good to know you and Joe made it through.

The progress made with Metazym and the promise it holds is encouraging but there is still a long road ahead. Your family and the many others we have come to share the MLD journey with is what keeps us and the MLD Foundation going to continue to work with researchers and agencies, to raise awareness of MLD, and to support families through all MLD takes away.

I will think of you through the years Janet and how Truett is growing and bringing you joy!

With Love and butterfly hugs,

Amarillo, TX USA - Friday, June 20, 2008 4:13 PM CDT

Janet, you have made my world rock with joy today! I have been so haunted by all you have been through, but meeting you at Maddie's funeral deepened my admiration for you - you still could smile and joke around. That amazed me! So when Brody passed, my heart just about died with him. How much more can a couple take, I kept asking the Lord. But, you know, He never let me give up! He kept you in my heart and mind to pray. So I checked for a miracle off and on, and here he is!!! (Thanks to Christine B for alerting me!). I am on cloud ninety-nine!!!

Do you know that Truet has the same eyes as our Caelyn? Oh, what a blessing to look into those gigantic blues and see the miracle of God in there!

Trevor and Ross will be in my heart forever - I've told you before that I can barely come here and see their pictures without losing it. I agree that this was NEVER God's will, and I don't believe in name-it-and-claim-it, either, but I do believe that having faith in our Lord will always give us the very best outcomes. We can't know (yet) why He didn't heal your sons, but when we look into Truet's eyes, kowing that he and Brody would not have existed without the circumstances being what they were, we have to say, as I often do, "Jesus led me all the way." Heaven will be full of such souls - ones that God meant to exist, one way or another - and all I can do is drop to my knees and say, Thank You, Lord!

I'm so very, very, very thrilled for you two! May the Lord bless you and keep you in safety and health, in Jesus' name, Amen. Loving you!

Hi Joiner Family,
I have been a follower for a very long time and have never posted. Through the years I check in once a week or so, first to learn about leukodystrophies and then to see how your guys were doing. I am a health care professional who is working with leukodystrophy children. We have seen hope on the horizon for ALD and MLD kids- someday we won't have to feel the pain of loss. I have kept you, and your boys in my prayers and I will continue to do so. Although your lives are forever changed, it is nice to hear that you can find hapiness. Enjoy your son, I wish you every happiness. God Bless you all.

I can't believe it's been 4 years. Sometimes it feels like a lifetime ago, and at the same time it feels like just yesterday. I often wonder if ya'll still read the entries in this guestbook. I could definitely understand if you didn't. I do want you to know that we think of you all the time. We will never lose sight of everything we've been through...and that includes the people who went through it with us. We ache for the loss of your boys like we ache the loss of our little girl. I can still picture Trevor walking down that hall, and coming up behind me with a swift smack to the rear. He was a very bright light in our darkest hours. You and all of your boys are NEVER far from our thoughts.

Dear Joiners,

I just by happenstance lucked up on your site and decided to click because we are Joiners too. We are from Pineville, Louisiana. My son, Trenton Lee Joiner, is a patient at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis. He is 9 years old as of December. In June of 2006, he was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a tumor on his brain stem. We have been very fortunate in that all of the tumor was removed and he has done extremely well through his treatment. If all goes well, we will get to go home the end of January. I just wanted you to know there are other Joiners out there who are thinking of you and hoping that things are going better for you now. May God bless you.

A Mother's Christmas Wish"

I guess if I could make just one Christmas wish,
I would wish I could see my boys.
To hold, to snuggle, to just kiss,
This is something I'd really like to do.

My arms ache for my baby boys,
Who will always remain just that.
To never grow and experience joy,
I wish I knew where they were at.

Why is it God thought he needed them more than I,
And why is it wishes can't come true?
I am just an aching heart who can only ask why,
And a mother who can't let go of them.

Please God grant me this one Christmas wish,
If just for a minute, an hour or a day.
They are the ones I really need & miss,
What more must I say?

Mom I thought of you when I read this poem I found on another site. I hope yall have a Very Merry Chrismtas and a Happy New Year.
We Love you and Pray for you each day.

You do not know me, I came across your site through another Caringbridge site. I have two children of my own and I cannot imagine the pain your family endures with the loss of your two precious sons. My heart aches for you.

Congratulations on your pregnancy at age 40. I am 45 and I have a 5 1/2 year old son and a 2 1/2 year old daughter.

I agree that the public needs to be more informed about pre-screening and take advantage of it now that it's available. My cousin was born in 1955 and had hemophilia. Much of his life consisted of being in and out of hospitals, having transfusions for any injury. He could not play and do things that boys his age could do. At age 25, he was involved in a car accident that was fairly minor--no one else was hurt, but it took his life. His death (in 1980) came during the time that HIV was already in the blood supply, but they could not test for it yet. While I mourn his loss, I am so thankful he did not have to suffer and die with AIDs like many so people have.

Little Silver, NJ - Monday, September 11, 2006 8:32 PM CDT

In church today, before I got Christine's (Hunter's Hope) email about Brody, our pastor mentioned "your" verse, Janet, the one you had clung to during the transplants. So of course, my mind went straight to you, for you have come to epitomize that verse to me. "I know the thoughts that I think towards you," He says, "thoughts of peace and not evil, to give you a future and a hope." And while we thought that Trevor and Ross surviving transplant or Brody being born with no problems was the answer to that promise, we only know that the verse still stands, and the fulfillment will be shown, in His time.

But, oh, how I wish I could tell Him when that time is.

Praying for comfort that goes beyond what can be humanly imagined. I'm so very, very sad.

Dear Janet and Joe, I am at a total loss for words. I do not have anything that I can give or say that could make you feel better, even though I truly wish I could. I can not even come to you or say I'll pray or anything. Words are meaningless and my crying is futal. To say that God is there seems so plain in such heart ache and pain as yours. Only God really understands your loss and your grief. I can only imagine and when I do I still cannot understand how you both can be so brave, so strong and so good. I have always though that you were a strong woman and I hope my daughter has that strength. I love you and Joe and of all the people I have known in my life I think that you two will be a everlasting testimony for me as for others. I feel like a fool saying what I did to you on that Sunday before when we came to visit you. I said I had a good feeling about this pregnancy and that I had been praying for you and that I thought that God was going to make everything alright. I am soo sorry. Please forgive my arrogance in thinking that I, of all people, could know what God has in his plans, for what ever reason that this has happened. Please know that Bryan has never stopped thinking and praying for his sister. He loves you Janet and he respects you Joe so much more than I can tell you. Our family loves you both so much.

My name is Tracy Autry. I am Janet's best friend. I want to let you all know that at 11:00 pm on September 5, 2006, Brody Ryan Joiner was born. He weighed 2 lbs. 4 oz. He was born at 27 weeks. He was a beautiful, tiny, tiny baby. He died Tuesday morning, September 6, 2006. Janet and Joe were with him when he died and held his tiny body in his last moments. His poor little lungs just never developed in a way that would sustain him.

Please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers. I also ask that you respect their privacy at this time. Please know that Janet and Joe very much want to have this private time to grieve. During the time that the boys were in the public eye, Janet and Joe chose to keep family, friends and strangers informed through this website. I am sure you will agree that Janet, although tired of being in the public eye, was very generous in sharing the news of this baby. However, now they want and need to have time alone. Please be respectful of their wishes and resist the temptation to reach out with calls and visits. There will be a private burial for family only. Thank you all for your concern.

Sincerely,

Tracy Autry

Thank you for your update. How exciting for you guys to have a baby on the way. A baby to hug, hold and love on with wonderful brothers to look after him/her.

Our daughter was 5 when she experienced death for the first time and it was three wonderful grandparent type people from church. She told me one day that she felt very safe because all three of them hung out in the BIG oak tree outside her bedroom watching over her. What a beautiful visual for me as a parent. I'm sure your sweet baby will come up with a wonderful visual of his/her brothers as well.

Praying for a problem free pregnancy and I look forward to hearing all about this baby later this fall.

Continued prayers and hugs,

I pray it comforts you to know that we cannot even imagine the joy they are experiencing in our Lord's presence. Nevertheless, it is hard in this valley. Praise God, the best is yet to come! May our Lord's peace be yours.

I think of you often. (and having a baby at 40, it is very enlightening...trust me, I did it! You see so many new things through their eyes that you didn't before! If I can sent my first one off to college in the next few weeks and still be taking one to day care...well, ok, I keep the grays covered!) Take care!

Joe and Janet,

I can't tell you how OVERJOYED I was to read your update!!!! I WAS SO HAPPY I BURST INTO TEARS!!! I know how it feels to wake up and wonder how you'll get through the day...and go to bed wondering how you did it.

I think about you and your boys EVERY SINGLE DAY! Your family was the first to touch our lives through this experience! Your boys are in my heart forever! I know they helped choose this baby....and those boys(fiesty little guys)wouldn't send you anything but the best!

Both of you will be in my thoughts and prayers even more now as you begin your new journey.

Ross,
I'm sorry I didn't have the chance to get to know you. I do know that you couldn't have been anything but wonderful with two parents like yours! Keep Maddy in line up there, ya here!

Trevor,
You stole my heart from the moment I met you! Your humor, and tenacity make me smile still. I miss you!

Good luck on the raising of the Park ya'll!

Joe and Janet,
We are so happy for you! I can say with certainty that you are absolutely right in believing that a child will never replace the precious two in heaven, but he or she will bring the missing joy that you have known and are now hungering for again. It will be bittersweet for a while because of the way everything will bring up sad and happy memories. But, be thankful for both. You will come to cherish all, even the hardest to experience, memories because of how they become all you have of Trevor and Ross. Again, you have continued to be in our prayers and will continue to be. God is amazing and wonderful in the everyday miracles he provides for all see through us.

So instead of putting you on the once monthly list, I should put you on the once every 8 months list? :) Oh, this is the most precious news! I'm in awe. I had hoped that you would have a baby, but I didn't dare say it to you. Now I can rejoice "with joy unspeakable and full of glory!" Thank You, Lord, for this amazing gift! While I didn't lose a child in the rawest sense, I did lose two babies before they were viable, and I know that having a healthy child went a long way to heal my pain. I'm looking forward to hearing more great news and seeing the pictures of the angel baby that Trevor and Ross picked out for you!

"Oh the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable His judgments, and His paths beyond tracing out!
Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been His counselor? Who has ever given to God, that God should repay him?
For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things.
To Him be the glory forever! Amen." Romans 11:33-36

Rejoicing in our Savior!

Dear Janet and Joe,
WOW, what great news! Janet, the words you wrote about the MLD journey and having to release a child home sooner than you thought couldn't be more true. I'm truly excited for the two of you and your future. What a blessing! I will be keeping you in my prayers, especially July through November. Hugs, Teryn

WOO-HOO for amazing blessings! Girl you are such a trooper and I have to admit that I'm unexplainably happy for you & Joe & this new journey! A little bird mentioned the "possibility" to me several months ago & I'm so happy that you are going to have a new way to share your amazing love that you shared with the boys. I actually talked to Amy last week & although we have moved to Brenham, we are in Lubbock this week visiting & we WILL be at the build Saturday...I agree that this is Trevor & Ross' legacy & I couldn't be happier that although Tanner & Kynli no longer get to go to KK, they will get to see what their friends left for them! Stay strong in the tough months to come and just let your heart grow in your love for the boys and their new sibling. Hope to see you Saturday...and maybe after this baby gets here, we can really go out for that margarita we talked about sooo many months ago! Again, if you're ever through Brenham, look us up! Blessings, D'dee.

Janet and Joe,

I'm so excited so for you both that I wish my words could just jump off this page and huge you! I hope you find the joy I've discovered in Adam Trevor with your new little one. After fighting MLD, I know I'm more able to appreciate and love every little thing that boy does. There are many days when I just stare at his face, kiss his head and smell his hair for hours.....
Adam Trevor has been like an angel from heaven in our daily battle against MLD. Emma loves him so, which brings us much happiness to see her sitting crossed legged on the floor giving him toys. We'll be counting the days until November!

Congrats!
Sam, Drew, Emma, Mallorie, Josie and Adam Trevor
PS. I'm secretly hoping for a girl so Joe can have a little sugar momma.

I go on your web page evryday just to see your boys. I so wish things could have been different...for all of us!

I want you to know that you, Joe, and your beautiful boys are never far from our thoughts. I hope we can talk soon.

I have some pictures on his website of when he was a baby. So cute. Anyway -- just thinking about you guys and others that I have met along this journey. My heart goes out to everyone that suffers through the many losses that MLD brings. It's just hard. I hope you'll update soon, your in our thoughts.

Joe and Janet: I remember hearing about your boys through another member of the caringbridge family. Forgive me, but I don't remember who. I do come back to see how you are doing. Although we live across the country, I remember hearing about Ross and Trevor and being STUNNED that such a horrible thing could happen to one family. I come to your site now with a favor to ask. I saw on our local news the other night that a family in our community is going through a similar situation. They lost their son (almost 2) to a horrible brain condition called Alpers. It's always fatal. After their son passed away, they found out that their daughter (less than a year old) also has the same condition. They are losing their second child in less than 6 months. When I started to post to them all I could think about is how much it meant to me to have support from others in a similar place. If you can, can you please stop by their website and give them any words of comfort? I can't think of anyone else who can tell them "I know how you feel." Thank you and God Bless. Their website is: www.caringbridge.org/mn/drewolson

I found your site through the Maddy's - both the princess and the queen! Your updates are inspiring to me. My husband and I lost a 4 month old son to mitochondrial disease on 7/9/03. He left a then 5 year old brother Henry. We have since adopted a little girl: Nina from Korea. She is now almost 17 months old. It amazes me how much company we have - those parents who have witnessed the death of a child or children. My mother died 2 months after Adam. To say 2003 was a difficult year is an understatement. But much has been clarified. Particularly, never taking any living thing for granted. I will check on your site. Adam's is www.caringbridge.org/ma/bundle. Username "together" Password: "forever"

Christmas Without You

The lights are blinking merrily
The tinsel�s on the tree
It sits there in the window
For all the world to see.

The house is filled with holly
And pinecone scents the air
The Christmas cards keep coming
Each one is hung with care.

The gifts are tied with ribbons red
And topped with pretty bows
I�m done with all the details
As far as Christmas goes.

The fire is softly glowing
I think about your touch
But Christmas isn�t Christmas
I miss you oh, so much.

If I could have just anything
My Christmas wish would be
To wake up in the morning
And find you here with me.

Staring at your picture
I long to be set free
Tonight the tears are streaming
As I hold it next to me.

Flakes of snow swirl through the air
I�m braced for stormy weather
I wait for brighter days ahead
When we can be together.

So hold a place in heaven
Someday when life is through
I�ll be the Christmas angel
Who shares this day with you.

MY CHRISTMAS ANGEL

Janet, although the circumstances were sad, it was a pleasure to meet you face to face. I told Trish that you are much more attractive than your pictures show on the website - I truly was taken aback when she said who you were. I still cry about Ross and Trevor when I come here, but seeing you really put a lot of grief to rest for me, somehow. I am more convinced than ever that we will find a cure - we have to. God bless you and I look forward to seeing you on future Walks. We will reap if we do not faint. Thank You, God.

Tiny Footprints

Before your lungs could breathe
and your eyes could see,
your little feet
were walking all over me.

Before you could crawl,
and even talk,
your little toes
took a walk.

They took a journey,
went far and wide.
They traveled to my soul
Where they now reside.

With every second that passes
they make another move.
With ever day that ends,
they dig another groove.

No matter how long or how far
we might be apart,
your tiny little footprints
are all over my heart.

I'm thinking of you, my friend, and praying for you tonight. I'm also copying and pasting a message I've posted on a couple other sites, requesting prayer for Carolyn Wyman -- our dear, dear, MLD prayer warrior. Love you, Janet, and we'll talk soon.

Dear Friends, when you read this could you please stop a moment and pray for Carolyn. Steve called me today, and said she had to go to the doctor (or the hospital - I don't remember exactly). He said that the cancer has returned, and she is really being attacked by the enemy of our souls. Carolyn and Steve are both working a "Walk to Emmaus" (Spiritual retreat) this weekend, and Carolyn is determined to be there. Carolyn is so faithful to pray for everyone else, now she is in need of our prayers. Please lift her up.

I set up a guestbook for Carolyn, if you'd like to leave her a message. If the link posted doesn't work, you can go to: http://pub37.bravenet.com/guestbook/3130176903/

Each time I wrap him up in it I cannot help but to see that adorable photo from your web site of both boys in my mind. I know that our sweet baby has two special angels looking over him and Emma too!

I had a feeling that Adam Trevor Nash would be born on Ross' birthday. Your boys are remembered in so many ways.

Hey Janet and Joe,
Just wanted to let you know that I always remember Ross' birthday, because I share the same birthday! I will never celebrate a birthday without his sweet face coming to mind. I hope you guys are doing okay. I still haven't made it to Lubbock to visit my friends and drop by and randomly suprise you...but maybe sometime soon. I am now living in Chattanooga, TN and working at a children's hospital here. Take care and you continue to be in my thouhgts and prayers.
