I can see from your beautiful smile that you have not let your adversities turn you into a bitter woman. Instead you have put your faith in God - I know he will help you. <BR/>I found you today via Andrea and I will be back to read more.<BR/>You, your husband, and children are in my thoughts this Easter - may it be a time of special blessings for each of you.<BR/>Mary (ACROSS THE POND)Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02147410299194282171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466957025274689346.post-22647251265536407832007-04-06T12:11:00.000-05:002007-04-06T12:11:00.000-05:00Thank you for sharing, Tonja.

I agree that Alex is lucky to have you for a mom...there is obviously no rhyme or reason to God's ways sometimes, but I, along with other here, will remember to pray for you and your family.

I found myself wiping away tears as I read your post. Your heart was so transparent. I can't imagine seeing my son suffer so much and not being able to "fix" it. Just know that the Lord is with you during the highs, but most especially during the lows. And we will pray for you and be here for you---whatever you need.Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08617193625781600123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466957025274689346.post-82685007066760412482007-04-05T21:31:00.000-05:002007-04-05T21:31:00.000-05:00I am deeply touched and inspired and convicted by ...I am deeply touched and inspired and convicted by this post.

I know this must have been hard to put down "on paper". Thank you for sharing this part of your life. What a lucky boy Alex is to have you as his Mom. Your faith and determination inspires me. I will include you and your entire family in my prayers. I pray the doctors will find a way to take away his pain. Alex sounds very brave. I love the picture of you two.Justabeachkathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06730467440181411875noreply@blogger.com
