I can’t imagine your pain, disappointment, and exhaustion, but I have seen a strength in you that clearly comes from the Lord and I believe on Him to continue to carry you through this extremely difficult time, as well as any heartache and crisis that may test you in the future. Remember, all things are possible through Christ who gives us strength, and that when you are weak, He is strong. I love you and I am praying for you. I wish I could be there to help you, and give you time alone for a really long nap! With love across the miles… Christina

I am counting on the LORD; yes, I am counting on him. I have put my hope in his word.

My reply will be fairly short. Number one: I love you all. Number two: I suppose it’s a cliche, but “I feel your pain very much and it hurts me.” Number three: Your Heavenly Father knows everything and I trust Him. I know you do also. I’m very much comforted by that! In my life I’ve had some pain; different than yours, but nevertheless pretty painful. Day by day I’ve learned not only to trust God, but to rely on His love, power and wisdom. He is truly a great God! I’m talking with Him about you all as I write this. May He “bless your socks off!”

I have absolutely no doubt that our marriage will survive. You shouldn’t either. We’ve survived this much; we’ll certainly survive more heartache and pain when it comes our way.

But surviving isn’t the goal!

I don’t want us to merely exist; I want us to LIVE! I don’t want us to merely survive; I want us to THRIVE!!!

I love you like crazy, Lana! And, because I love you, I will not allow us to settle for merely existing and surviving. We were made to live and thrive!

As you know, my husband left 9 months before Baby Ry passed. I was left to make all those difficult medical descisions myself…. ugh. We even had separate funerals! I wasn’t alone though. God was with me and so were my girls. Both of you have inspired me – try, try, try to keep yourselves first. May the Lord bless you and your family for blessing so many of us! Thank you. xo

Praying from Missouri for all of you! Know that in a significant way, your family’s story has had an impact on me and the story I’m helping to create for my family. Suddenly a one year daughter with a broken leg is small potatoes, as they say!
Blessings to you, Lana!

Hi Lana, When Bridget said Molly is getting tired and called hospice, I cried, I don’t do that much but you just don’t know how much I truely love all of your children. I really can’t know what your life is like and I pray very much. When I got hurt and my wife and I started the process of living after me having a brain injury we were told 95% of marriages don’t last 5 years, we just barly made 5 and now we are part of the 95. It’s hard to go from such extremes as a couple because every one deals with things differently and some times even as a couple you just walk alone, each trying to find a way to cope. But one thing I think is this, if even when you are far from each other if you both keep close to God your paths will once again meet up and togather you will continue on. I know you two will be togather for life, I have no doubt but it wont be easy. Nothing worth working for is easy. My parents will celebrate 52 years in April. I asked my mom how they did it and she said “there were some really hard and trying times, some I didn’t think we would make it through, it wasn’t fun but it sure is a glorious ending, we are more in love than ever” You and Dave will be saying that too ) Take it one day at a time, you’ll see. God bless, Joe
