I still try to check your blog quite ...Hi Michelle. I still try to check your blog quite frequently and pray for you daily. I just sat down tonight and got caught up on posts; I feel compelled to tell you how absolutely *beautiful* your Janie Beth is. The pictures you posted of her and Katie Jo a couple days back were so fun to view. Janie Beth looks like a beautiful baby doll... SO pretty!! You may remember being a part of BabyCenter when we were expecting Josiah and Gwyneth and in the months that followed their births. Do you remember the little Alli (Scott) that was born the same birth month as our December Snowflakes? :) She was diagnosed with childhood cancer at 4 or 5 months and passed away when she was 9 months old. I followed her story closely; it truly touched me and changed my parenting forever. Your Janie Beth has done the same. It is too easy sometimes as a parent to not slow down and appreciate all the ups and downs that come with parenting. I have been accutely aware these last few weeks of both the ups AND downs. One of my favorite lines is Life Is Short - we never know HOW short it will be. I read something recently that talked about the fact that God "loans" us our children. They really aren't OUR children; they are His and he just borrows them to us for a while. I thank God that He shared precious Janie Beth with you, and the world, for 22 blessed hours. <br /><br />I will continue to pray that He carries you when you need it, and that He walks alongside you and cheers you on when you walk on your own. Know that you have friends all over the country that are cheering you along too :) <br /><br />Tanya Wieler<br />(Gwyneth's Mom :)Tanyanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912196885809263415.post-54235445389660990482010-01-21T14:07:56.438-06:002010-01-21T14:07:56.438-06:00Michelle,

To see the way you have handled the cup God has given you has been amazing. You have walked with such dignity and grace. That truly has been an inspiration to me. I have never had to deal with what you are right now but I know someday I will and my prayer is that I can walk as well as you have been. I think that is the way Janie Beth has touched me. She has taught me to begin praying now for God's strength for whatever circumstance He places in front of me. I continue to pray for you guys daily and know His peace will comfort you! <br /><br />Blessings,<br />Emily EckleyEmilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04095716361003560056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912196885809263415.post-8878353507306513762010-01-21T13:32:35.822-06:002010-01-21T13:32:35.822-06:00While I know this is still so incredibly hard, I s...While I know this is still so incredibly hard, I sense a change in your writings. Have you noticed? You are talking more about walking, taking steps, instead of just crawling. I know this journey is no where close to over (and you will never be "over it"), but it's clear that with His help you are making progress! Still praying!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18220618712377183612noreply@blogger.com
