I am still not sure I will do good. I write many times but I can never finish, it gets too long and I deleat it because I just don't know what I am saying so I just say thank you for caring for me. I hope I do get to meet you all some day. I send this now, sorry I can not ever seem to tell you what I want. Only I say thank you for giving me a place here with you all. God bless.

All I can say is I thank God for working through me, he deserves the credit but I know what you mean. I would like to meet all of you too. To sit togather with Betty leading us in prayer would be great. Carmen in the middle of us. It is really some thing to think of all God did to have this little girl bring us all togather. Good night, God bless. In Christ, Joe Hi Monica, I am humbled to think some one would want to meet me.

Usually I am long gone by now, but any how. Thank you so much for your prayer for me. Lots of folks say or hear a prayer and then sit back waiting for God to do his thing but I want to tell you I have been looking. I even wrote a few people, one wrote back and said he will stop by on Friday, this is Saturday, it's the thought that counts :o) He is very busy. If I may be so bold, "you are my friends" and you encourage me. God bless. In Christ, Joe Hi New york Grandma, Can you guys tell I just got my second wind tonight.

One thing I know, I am so thankful Carmen will never know the worst pain as you say. Emotional, mental, and relational. I know I said to Debbie I am happy for my wife to see her happy but I must be honest it is not a happy that last for either of us. My wife just left with a friend and the look in her eyes and I am sure mine was so sad even though we both smiled. At times like this I am truely crushed. I don't think I ever said these words to any one except maybe Laura. I only say them now because all of you are so honest, so, my turn I guess. Yet still don't be sad. My son is out side making a camp fire with his friends to cook hamburgers and hot dogs, I so thank God he has good times. I leave him alone because his friends get uncomfortable with me some. I am going to watch "A walk to remember" I love the song the girl sings and I pray the words in my heart "I want your symphony singing in all of me" I think that is how it goes :o) have to watch it again to know. I hope this is a good thing I say. Put your hand on those fractured spirits you see, look them in the eye and give them a smile, I can tell you it is amazing what that does. God bless you all.

Please don't be sad. My wife and son love me very much, every doctor I see is amazed I am not in a home. Thanks to my wife I am in my own home still. Our relationship is very different, she often goes with a friend to do things, like now, she needs that and I understand that now. It is not how we want it but it is how it is and then she will tell me stories of a good time she had so I am happy for her. I have nice neighbors who check on me and help me do things. I did have my most dear friend who would visit me, she only loved me and I loved her as in the Lord, not a physical attraction but she died from cancer January 19. I miss her terrible but her husband takes me to help him clean their house once every two weeks. My wife made me a picture book of Laura to have to remember. Thank you so much Debbie for caring for me you are an answer to prayer. I don't have a blog only I know how to do this and caringbrige too and e-mail. I hope I make you feel good from all this I say. God bless you. In Christ, Joe Hi Debbie, I had a good rest so I am writing some more. Please don’t be sad. My wife and son love me very much, every doctor I see is amazed I am not in a home.

How can you all know how great you make me feel. Thank you all for so many kind things you say. I can hardly say words. I wish I could look at each of you , hold your hands and let you see the light in my eyes and the joy in my heart. You do a great thing for me. I can not say what I want to say to each of you in one writing ( I tried many times it don't work :o)) but I want to say some thing one at a time each day if that is ok. God bless you all, thank you for loving me. Thank you Dave, thank you Lana, for giving me a place here. In Christ, Joe WOW!!! How can you all know how great you make me feel.

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 02:44:27 +0000 http://www.beautifulcanvas.org/?p=3995#comment-2361 Hi Lana and Dave! I've been thinking about you lately and was glad to catch a chance to check up on your blog. I'm living back at home with my parents in Oklahoma now, and our internet service is the old dial-up, since we are so rural, so I have to do all my real internet work at the occasional library visit. It's good to hear the update on Carmen. Also, I enjoyed a talk with Charlotte a few months ago. Hope to keep in touch with you all. Molly Wright (one of the bridesmaids in your wedding--for benefit of any readers) and I are planning on going camping in Palo Duro canyon this weekend, near Lubbock where Molly is in school for her Master's in speech pathology. We still think of you, Lana, and your family and enjoy keeping up with what is going on. I'm high on hopes to start my own sewing pattern business this summer. We will see how that goes. I'll be working from my parents' home, and it is nice to be back with them for a little bit. I really missed family while being out of state most of the last two years. Are you all going to be able to participate in the Make a Wish program? Love, Valerie Hi Lana and Dave!
