Karen,

I was just thinking about you and decided i should visit here and let you know. the holidays seem so empty. hugs to all of you.

Hi Karen, Phil and Kylie - Just thinking of you.  Thinking of the holiday approaching fast and how you are doing.   Wanted to let you know that we are here for whatever support you might need.   You are all not far from our thoughts day in and day out.  I must refer to you guys and Leah several times a day to different people asking about you or me mentioning your names.  Kylie - we are looking forward to our outing on Christmas.  I hope you are too.   I pray for you often.  I pray that you will receive signs from Leah and be comforted by them.  We love you and we miss Leah.  Take care, talk to you soon.  Love, Miss Annie

Karen,

Just opened your xmas card.  I wanted to tell you that Leah looks absolutely beautiful.  I'm sure that she is looking down at all of you and will guide you through this holiday season.

I think of you every minute of every day and precious little Leah.  I'm one of those people who have neglected to write in the Guestbook.  I too am seeing the Glory of Christmas this weekend, and I always think of Leah also when I see that part in the play for the healing little girl.  I tear up every time thinking of Leah (but she's safe in heaven); actually I'm thinking of you at that moment and wondering how you survived the agony.  I'm so glad we do get to talk at work every now and then, and just to let you know that even tho many of us don't sign the Guestbook more often, you and your family are and ALWAYS will be in our prayers.  Good Bless.  Have a Blessed Christmas! 

Hi Karen,

Just a loving reminder that I am thinking of you and your family as always and pray for a Holiday season where you will feel the presence of God and Angel Leah always by your side.

PS  The bracelets are just beautiful. I am so proud to wear mine every day, it has so much love and meaning.

Lots of Hugs to you,

Colleen Johnson

Karen,

  Wanted to let you know I check your updates often and you guys are always in my thoughts and prayers. I don't usually write because I am not eloquent with my words compared to so many of the other people who write.  I do want you to know that I think of Leah often.  My mind still says Kylie and Leah are my cousins, only now Leah is my angel cousin.  This holiday is going to be difficult, but I'm glad that we are getting together.  Maybe we can start some new tradition in tribute to Leah.  Let me know if there is anything I can do to help with Leah's Happy Hearts, I'm happy to lend a hand. 

Hi Karen,

I went to visit Leah the other day because I was thinking of her and I prayed for her to come to you in any way she could to just let you know she is there for you. Since meeting you I have read so many other families journeys and I am just amazed at the strength of all of these little children. I read a poem on a boy named Trey's website and I wanted you to read it. You may have already but I just wanted to send it to you.

We little knew that morning, that God was going to call your name.

In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone: For part of us went with you the day God called you home.

You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide: and though we cannot see you, your are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same: but as God calls us one by one the chain will link again.

Hello,

Just checking in on you this morning.  I have been in the internet world this morning checking on all of the children.  On JJ's page he makes a good point that people might forget.  Although there are so many children with this tumor, jj, jenna, ani, katherine, maria, justine, kate, kayla, alicia and many many more that these are not just names they are kids.  They are the neighbors kids or friends kids or family members kids.  They are here with us.  They have hearts that beat just like ours.  They are our angels in heaven.  They are people just like you and me, we cannot forget that.  They are with us in life or in spirit.  God lends our kids to us to care for and calls them back when it is time.  There seems to be no answer for us as to why we must hurt in the process.  Why must these parents feel like they are looking and looking and looking and living with that pain that things are not working.  They can't find the cure and yet they struggle on a daily basis to tell their child with a smile that they are doing everything that they can. Why do parents have to endure that kind of intense pain?????  I see it over and over again, week after week, day after day.  During this holiday season I think we should believe in God and know that he will help us one day with all of the answers to so many questions.  Believe that these little children were sent to us for a very special reason.  Believe that we are lucky for everyday that we have with our children.  Wake up and smile knowing that Leah is with us in our hearts and she always will be and know one will ever be able to take that away.  Believe that when you dream of her that it is her trying to calm the pain in your heart.  Christmas is a special occasion, it is a miracle, live this Christmas knowing that Leah sees everything that you do and she smiles while you do it.

God bless you all,

Trina

Hi Karen, Phil, and Kylie --

All of us are praying for you and Leah.  We ask the Lord to give you all strength through the holiday season.  Please know that everyone that comes to this site is here to listen and try to provide whatever support possible. 

For the treatments, you made the right decisions for Leah and did everything you could.  There certainly aren't any books to guide you and every decision you made was to try and help your child.  We pray that some day there is cure for these tumors so no one (child, parent, sibling) needs to go through this. 

We know that Leah is watching over all of you and we hope that she continues to send you signs. 

Love, The Moores
