Something such as the color of purple has changed forever ...purple is Angel Leah. I think of Leah everyday, all the time...many, many, many others do too and we will always be here for you. Friends forever. What Kylie probably wants the most...is just to be with you and Phil. Just listen, just watch, just look into her eyes when she talks to you, just touch her arm when she talks to you...that kind of attention (non-material) can make the world of difference. How often do we really give someone we love that kind of attention; we are often so busy, going here, doing that, trying to get so much done in a day, that it is hard to slow down. But the work, the laundry, the dishes, the dirty floors, the PTA mtg, the after school activities don't make the difference in the Big picture. Really being with a person - giving them your all, all your attention and forgetting about time and just being there (all of you) is the best gift to a person. I'm not sure why I am writing all of this...I guess I fall short of this and need to do as I preach. But I guess, don't think that Kylie needs more than just your attention...she doesn't need to be busy and full of material things...she just needs your full, uninterrupted attention. Your eyes and ears listening and being still next to her. Hugs Hugs Hugs Hugs. Love Love Love Love. (...off to give Kev and Carley some attentions...:))

Dear Karen and the James family, We keep you in our prayers and think of you often. Leah is very relevant to all who knew her, still. I look at your entries often, and, like many, cry when I read them. Keep your faith strong and your eyes on Jesus. We kindly pray that God, the only one almightly and sovereign, gives peace in your hearts, the kind that passes all understanding. Always remember that HE is with us even when we don't feel it, or think that we are forgotten. Lovingly in Christ, The Puscas family NCS

Your updates break my heart and make me sit at the computer and cry, yet, I check on you often to see how you are doing. I have a son Leah's age and I know I would never forgive god if he was taken from us. I am so sorry. I pray that you find some sort of peace at this difficult time of the year. Life is very unfair and your loss of Leah is the worst that can happen to a parent. I prayed very hard that god would save her when she was alive. I wanted a miracle for you and your family and I am so sorry that you did not receive your miracle. I am sure that Leah is a beautiful little angel in heaven. I hug my children closer knowing that no family is immune to what you have experienced. You are often in my thoughts and prayers! Sandy

Comments: Hi Karen, Just having a cup of coffee and thinking about little Leah. Remembering how sweet she was the day I shot the photos of her. I think one of my favorite parts of that day was when she was on the swings, grinning and giggles. It melts my heart. Just wanted to share that with you. Smooches, Lauren

I'm here still thinking and praying about your family. I found a beautiful, little angel box at the store that so reminded me of Leah. As soon as I see you I will give it to you. I also want to buy some bracelets. This will be a good focus for you and the family. It always seems to help me when I begin to help others. Your foundation sounds great and much needed. Take care and keep up the faith! Praying for strength for your family.

I am so happy many have come forward. I hope you feel the love around you. Some songs that I love include: Pink - Nobody Knows Sara McLachlin (sp?) - she has sooo many Jewel - Absence of Fear The Muppets - The Rainbow Connection (actually a very spiritual song) There is a song that John Edward played once that is one of my favorite songs ever, by an unknown artist. I will see if I can locate a copy. Signs from Leah or others who have past or even your Spirit Guides often come do not have to be earth shattering. Spirit is constantly offering us signs, but we are often too “blind” or caught up in our life or our grief that we don’t see it. It isn’t necessary to see a medium or psychic to receive info…signs are all around us. Many times we feel that they are mere coincidences. You aren’t going to hear a booming voice or have a clear vision – it doesn’t come that dramatic. All you have to do is be open to receiving the answers or signs. Look around your world – I mean really look at it, paying close attention. Some examples of signs can be: The first song you hear when you turn on the radio. A song that keeps repeating in your head. You turn on the television and someone is speaking about the same thing you are upset over. You could overhear a conversation between others. You see the same number over and over (on a clock, label, license plate, lottery, etc). You could open a page in a book or the Bible and it matched your mood or concern. And of course the animal world is always close by to assist. Don't have large expectations - just ask for guidance and allow it to happen. But know that your guides, although always around you and ready to assist still need to be invited to guide. Big Hugs, Kristy

Phil, Karen, & Kylie, I'm just dropping you a line to let you all know that I take time to think of you EVERY day & pray for you all EVERY DAY. I was jogging on Saturday November 25th around 2 PM when God laid it on my heart to send a prayer up on your behalf. I don't know what was going on with you at that time that might have needed prayer, but God does. Your brother in Jesus, Love John Szasz

Here is a song you may have heard before (Holes in the Floor of Heaven) - it is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!! And reminds me of Leah every time I hear it. It is performed by country singer Steve Wariner...Here are the words: Holes in the Floor of Heaven One day shy of eight years old When Grandma passed away I was a broken-hearted little boy Blowing out that birthday cake How I cried when the sky let go With a cold and lonesome rain Momma smiled, said don’t be sad child Grandma’s watching you today
‘Cause there’s holes in the floor of Heaven And her tears are pouring down That’s how you know she’s watching Wishing she could be here now And sometimes if you’re lonely Just remember she can see There’s holes in the floor of Heaven And she’s watching over you and me
Seasons come and seasons go Nothing stays the same I grew up, fell in love Met a girl who took my name Year by year we made a life in this sleepy little town I thought we’d grow old together Lord, I sure do miss her now
But there’s holes in the floor of Heaven And her tears are pouring down That’s how I know she’s watching Wishing she could be here now And sometimes when I’m lonely I remember she can see There’s holes in the floor of Heaven And she’s watching over you and me
Well my little girl is 23 I walk her down the aisle It’s a shame her mom can’t be here now To see her lovely smile They throw the rice, I catch her eye As the rain starts coming down She takes my hand says daddy don’t be sad ‘Cause I know mamma’s watching now
And there’s holes in the floor of Heaven And her tears are pouring down That’s how you know she’s watching Wishing she could be here now And sometimes when you’re lonely Just remember she can see There’s holes in the floor of Heaven And she’s watching over you and me.
