How precious it is to have those times with our kids ... to honestly explain to them ... and hurt with them. It's OK for you to show your hurt and fear ... it's real. Don't ever put a "mask" on your feelings ... <BR/><BR/>I don't know you, nor have I ever met you before in my life, but your story has touched my heart. I find myself coming to check your blog ... knowing that whatever it is I am going through is NOTHING compared to the pain and hurt you are feeling. Thank you so much for sharing and for being honest with us ... even those of us who you haven't ever met. <BR/><BR/>Know that we keep you in our hearts and our prayers daily.Karmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11408734046102239111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30876563.post-45668885342588331662007-08-22T21:12:00.000-06:002007-08-22T21:12:00.000-06:00I think about your sweet Joey often.

And I think of your other babes, and wish I could give them a big squeeze too.<BR/><BR/>As we deal with our 'scares' on occassion with our Porter, Joey and his wonderfully bright smile pop in my head. I think of his strength and your strength and it helps me become stronger to be able to deal with the worries of Porter's illnesses.<BR/><BR/>As Porter is about to start IvIg therapy, the HH Nurse talked about childhood cancers and their therapies and I swear I saw Joey's smile and it calmed me instead of making me scared this time.<BR/><BR/>Just want to let you know that Joey's little light of his still shines bright all around...<BR/><BR/>Keep sharing. <BR/><BR/>Biggest hugs!<BR/>PegPeg Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16292350932134517121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30876563.post-23217327798064298222007-08-22T21:10:00.000-06:002007-08-22T21:10:00.000-06:00Peace be with you Jen.

It cannot be easy, in fact its heart wrenching. As mothers all we want to do is protect our children and keep everything bad away. Unfortunately that was not why we came to earth! I continue to pray for all of you... I don't even know you, but reading your story and your blog has really affected me. Joey lives on through all of this, and he has changed my life for the better!

Although I have not suffered the loss of a child I can relate to the idea of "it happened once why won't it happen again?" thinking with other things. It is so scary and the only peace I find is through prayer. May you continue to be strong!Teaquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16834094512764528412noreply@blogger.com
