Love Sandy

Hello our Angel Mom Lisa, I'm so sorry that you had such a rough start to your day today, it's got to be so hard for you newly bereaved moms to have to go to work everyday while inside you're heart is broken, I honestly don't know how you do it. I think it's a good idea, taking some time off, and I pray that they understand and give it to you.
You need a rest, you're drained emotionally and physically right now. Oh Lisa, that's terrific news, going to see a Psychiatrist, he/she will be able to give you the one on one help that you need! Good for you! I'm really happy for you, I know only good things will come of it! Try to rest up, take it easy, and I hope you do get that leave from work. Let us know how you're doing, we're all praying for you and sending lots of love,
Love & Hugs,
Sandy

My prayer is for every Mother, and Father that has lost a child. This is a very low dark time in your life. This is a time when you must fight to hold on to your sanity. I know that deep fog that creeps over you, as I have lost my only child as well. I hope you can take my words here and use them to help you make it through the rest of your lives.

To lose your child, you may feel as if your cursed. The reality is you are truly blessed. We have been chosen to be the earth parent of a real angels.

We were chosen for a reason, please hold on to your faith in God, now is the time to show the strength within he knew you had. And know that God has not forsaken us. But has truly honored us. God has not chosen everyone to be the parent of one of his Angels.

Mother of a Angel

Hello our dear Verna, so nice to see a post from you, we're all praying for your health to fully return and get back to your old self! Yes, it does seem like valley days for so many, God love them, for a lot of our beautiful Angel Moms this was their 1st Easter without their child, and we know how hard these special days are, even for those of us further along on our Journey. Once again a beautiful prayer for all, thank you dear one, and please keep us all updated on your test results, and I'm amazed, you're actually listening to your Dr. this time! :) Love you lots, and I know all our prayers for you are going to be answered, God is so good!!
Much love
Sandy

Hello dear MotherofanAngel, and welcome to the Circle. I'm sorry that your own loss has led you here, but we're very happy to see you posting.
How true and wise your words are, and I agree with you, I feel so blessed that God chose me to be Shane's mother, I miss him terribly, but how blessed I am that he was a part of my life, I wouldn't have it any other way. Of course I wish he would have been in my life longer, but he completed his work that God wanted of him, just as we all will one day. But I wouldn't hesitate for one second if God were to ask me to do it all over again, even through the terrible pain, I can't imagine my life without my Shane being in it. Your words may not help newly bereaved moms and I'm sure you understand, but thank you for sharing your perspective of your loss, I know it will touch a heart or two here. Please come back anytime, you'll only find understanding, support, love and prayers here, we all have something to give to help each other so feel free to post whenever you want, love & prayers to you MotherofanAngel,
Love Sandy

Hi dear Deb and Yvonne, MISS you both!

Good morning angel moms,

(yahoo!!! yahoo!!!) my dad is coming back with us for my little sister is moving down here with here 3 boys and he will be driving the u-haul truck down. Depending on how my dad is we should be going home tomorrow. If not that's OK. as long as I'm back for work on Monday and if not I'll use a sick day.

Hello All Angel MOMS!!!!!!!Sandy, Verna, Lisa, Donna, Deb, Selva, Motherofanangel, YES! We are all mothers of angels!!! I'm still around and thank you Sandy for thinking of me. I'm so glad your son got you a computer so you didn't lose any time with us! I know I didn't say anything but I would've helped with it too. God is good isn't He? He takes care of His chosen! ~~~ I read everyday but I just don't have alot of time to write these days so I read and then pray for all. God bless each one of you. I can feel your pain, I've been having a really hard time lately too, I don't know what it is. I miss my Joseph more & more as each day passes by. It was 3 years 5 months on Easter Sunday. My daughter Sarah turned 25 yesterday and it's a hard reality to see your younger children passing their brother's age. Joe was 24 at the time of his death. Aaron will be 24 in Dec. Bryan of course is older than Joe and is 30 now. I must be having one of those ocean waves right now, that comes in every so often and hits you. I keep getting up and putting my faith & trust in Jesus! I'm so sorry Selva and Lisa, that you are in the deep valley, the first year is very difficult, but somehow, it does ease, I never believed it, for me it was more like two years. But I still have dark times and that is because we will always miss our children. We will never forget and that is how it should be, our kids are so much a part of our lives. I am praying for you all to get through these tough days. God Bless you.
I am keeping myself busy these days with the 8 dresses I am making for the wedding on June 7th. I am making progress on them, but my time is limited now. I am having a garage sale next weekend along with my sister and a neighbor and my daughter-in-law. I haven't even labled anything yet! Three weeks from today we are flying out to L.A. for Aaron's graduation from Life Pacific College. He will graduating (as Aaron puts it!) a Full Fledged Foursquare Minister. We are so proud of him. He has worked hard for the last 5 years. And getting maried in the midst of it all! Anyway, we will be spending a week with them and making a much needed vacation out of it, we will be going to Disneyland and other places around the area. We live 150 miles west of Chicago, so you know there isn't much to do around here! I'm ready to go! I am doing my usual gardening too, flowers and vegetables. Also, my husband decided to take on the challenge of building a garage, so that's all taking place right now. I hope you are all having a better day today.
Dear Father, I ask You to fill the hearts of all our Special Angel Moms here at this loving circle that You so lovingly provided for us through Your daughter Sandy with Your peace and comfort and love. Let us each feel Your presence today in some special way that is unique to each one of us. I thank You Lord for a place to come and let our feelings out so that in some way we will each be able to experience Your healing that You have planned for us. I love You Jesus and I ask all of this in Your Name, Amen. God Bless you all! I love you!
Love, Yvonne<><

Dearest Angel Moms, We have all been burning the wires and through these last few days I've known laugter that went to my toes Thank you my Dear Sisters. Yvonne, I'm sorry you got hit with the ocean wave its seems Easter has hit us all Selva & Lisa and Eva I know your pain is all consuming and I pray for the storms to pass, but we all seem to have bit hit hard this Easter. I truly Thank God to be apart of a family of understanding and how through the midst of our Storms God holds us up and helps us to endure that which has no words but at the same time we have all said Easter is our Hope our Joy and our tears. We could not have survived any of us without God who sustains us and cradles us, maybe someday we could make a book of the most inspirational prayers I've ever heard born of pain and love, you have Blessed me with Hope, and by sharing brought comfort and Joy, Heavenly Father you stilled the raging seas please in your compassion calm the seas bring peace to troubled hearts whose rest is brief remind us why we are here, I've been a hoot owl for awhile and I listen to a station on TV Pax when my heart and mind can not rest and it has beautiful scenes of nature and Songs that are like sunlight to the soul, last nite there was one of a woman who experienced terrible deceit loss had nothing to feed her children and cried out to the Lord for something to help her hang on and she heard the song God Show Me the Way, that is my prayer for all of us Father in Heaven Show us the Way. Amen. PS Heavenly Father could you give Fathers and GrandFathers and Brothers a bigger Flashlight to find there way through there storms. Amen

GOOD MORNING MY ANGEL MOMS,

THIS MORNING I COME TO YOU ALL AND ASK FOR SOME HEAVEY PRAYERS FOR MY DAD, WE WERE GETTING READY TO COME HOME AROUND 3:00 AND WHEN MY DAD GOT UP HIS FACE WAS SWOLLEN AND HIS SPEECH WAS SLURED AND HE WAS VERY DIZZY AND COULDN'T SHAKE IT OFF. SO I MADE THE CHOICE TO TAKE HIM TO THE HOSPITAL FOR I FEARED HE WAS HAVING A STROKE. WHEN I GOT HIM TO THE HOSPITAL THEY PUT HIM ON THE STRECHER AND WHEELED HIM IN AND THEN THEY GAVE HIM SOME OXYGEN. MY FATHER IS A VERY BIG MAN AND NOW HE IS OBESS AND THIS IS THE REASON WHY HE COULDN'T BREATH WELL. HE WAS READY FOR A MAJOR HEART ATTACK. ALL HE DID FOR THE LAST TO DAYS WAS SLEEP AND WHEN I WOKE HIM UP YESTURDAY HE LOOKED LIKE A GHOST. I WAS SO SCARED. HIS HEART HAS DOUBLED AND THEY SAY THAT IS BECAUSE OF LACK OF OXYGEN. TODAY WE ARE LEAVING THIS SMORNING TO GO BACK HOME AND NOT BECAUSE I WANT TO, BUT MY HUSBAND NEEDS TO GET BACK TO HIS BUISNESS. SO I HAVE COME TO ASK FOR LOTS OF PRAYERS FROM YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH AND I HOPE YO ALL ARE DOING FINE AND DON'T HAVE ALOT OF WEGHT ON YOUR SHOULDERS TODAY.
GOD BLESS TO YOU ALL,

LUV DEBBY

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


DEAR FAHER, I ASK FOR YOUR PRAYERS TO HELP HEAL MY DAD AND MAKE THINGS WELL FOR HIM, IASK THAT YOU GIVE HIM THE SRENGHT TO STAY AT THE HOSPITAL UNTIL HIS IS ALL BETTER AND THAT YOU WILL GUIDE MY MOM TO BE STRONG DURING THIS TIME, I ASK THIS IN YOUR NAME THE FATHER, AMEN.

Dearest Debby, I'm so sorry and of course we all will pray for him and you & your family. I will say a rosary this morning and each until we know he will be on the road to recovery. Thank God for getting him help as soon as you did, Deb read Psalm 91 and find refuge in the arms of our Loving Savior. God Bless and keep you strong. Love&Hope Donna

Good Morning Angel MOMS!

Thank you Donna for your kind words to me. Yes this Easter was difficult. I can't help but think about the Laci Peterson murder and her baby. I think that helped put me into the pit. I felt so much pain for her family and it brought it all back home to my heart. Easter is significant to our family in a different way, but it still relates to Joe. I was so anxious to get his headstone for his grave put up, I couldn't stand going to the cemetary and not having a marker for him. So we ordered it and had part of a poem that he had written put on it. They told us it would be a while before it was ready and I sure didn't expect it before Easter, but finally they called and set it up on Good Friday ( April 21,2000) and then I asked what we owed on it (Joe didn't have insurance) and they said someone had come in and paid off the balance. his marker was $1000. and we only put $300 down. To this day we have no clue who paid that for us! No one knew where we got his headstone. I will never forget that Easter, it was our first without Joe, but very significant also. God has been so good to me and my family and I am so very thankful to Him. I know I couldn't have survived without Him in my life.
I hope Donna that you are doing well with your recovery. God bless you!

~~~Dear Deb, I'm sorry to hear about your Dad, you did the right thing in taking him into the hospital. You can count on my prayers for him and your family. I'm glad you got to spend some time with your family, even if things got worse, your dad will be well taken care of in the hospital. ~~~~Dear Father God, I ask for Your healing to come upon Deb's Dad and that the drs will be able to treat him and get him back to good health. I ask for the comfort of Your Holy Spirit in the hearts of all of Deb's family. Thank You Lord for all that you do for each one that comes to You. In Jesus Name, Amen. God Bless you Deb and your family.

~~~Dear Lord, I ask You to comfort the hearts of all the angel moms here especially Lisa, Selva, Eva in their recent losses of their children. I pray Lord that You will make Your presence known to them today. Help them in these early and tough days. I pray that their reliance on You will become stronger and stronger as each day passes. Bless them now in Jesus Name, Amen. God bless you all!
Love, Yvonne<><

Oh my dear Deb, I'm VERY sorry to read about your Dad, yes, thank goodness you brought him to the hospital, gosh my friend it must be hard to leave, but you have to, and yes, I will also say the Rosary for your Dad, you, your Mom and the rest of your family, you know you're in our love and prayers and please let us know when you can about your Dad! Lots of love and my prayers to you dear Deb,
Love Sandy

I pray that God will give him back his health very soon, and also helps your mother to help him through, my dear sister, our prayers will be with you and your family 24/7. Love you Selva

Hi Yvonne. Its so great to see you posting again, I really miss you.I've been in the valley for days, I miss my daughter sooo much, I'm sure Lisa and Eva are going through the same, we will have to keep on hanging on to God, so that He will help us through this awful grieving period. I think I will never get through with it. Solange is all I have. I hope that God helps us all. Please don't be a stranger and keep posting, we all love to hear from you. Love Selva

Hi Donna, Sandy , first of all thank you so much for your prayers and e mails, that really helped me a lot, thanks for letting me know about Debby's dad. My sisters you are such a tremendous support for me, so is Verna and all the Angel moms in this Circle of Love, I don't know what I will do without you. I'm feeling better today , my stomach virus seems that its going away, finally, my pain its great, but thanks to your prayers I am feeling a little better today. I hope my sisters Lisa and Eva are also feeling a little better, I know Lisa took some time off from work, that will help her a lot. I have not heard from Eva in a few days. I also pray that she is doing better. I'm waiting from Verna to let us know about the tests and the Dr's she is really taking care of herself. I pray that she is feeling much better. Sandy, I heard there is a scare in Canada about the SARS, please take good care of yourself. I love you all and will keep on praying, lets see what happens. Donna, did you ever get Solange's picture?. I love you all very much Selva

Dearest Selva, I don't know why my e-mails didn't reach you YES I have Solange's picture hanging above my computer I was so excited to get it, Beautiful isn't a big enough word to describe Solange. I'm so glad you are feeling a little better and pray you continue to improve, I pray God will wrap his arms around your Heart to heal your pain and free you from its terrible grip my Dear sister at least the pain be lightened for only God can Heal the sorrow and I'm like Yvonne Please Lord make thy self known so you will not feel alone. Dear Jesus, You are the Healer, Comforter, Counselor and in Jesus name we ask for thy Tender Mercy to fill Selva Lisa Eva and any other Mom or Dad caught in this terrible grip of pain and Father I pray that Joy take the place of sorrow or Knowledge that only you may impart. In Thy Holy Name Jesus Amen

Hello dear Yvonne!! Please forgive me for writing back so late!! I was really happy to see a posting from you, you know you're missed, and I realize you're busy, but Angel Mom, we love you and want to hear from you every so often at least! Yes, my dear Chris got a computer for me, and that's so sweet of you too, to want to help me, you're all so amazing, and I'm so blessed to know each and everyone of you, this family, this Circle of Love, and dear Sisters. Yes, God is so good to us! I know you read and pray for all, and you know you're prayed for daily too. The children are getting older, and I understand how bittersweet it must be that Sarah is now past Joe's age. You're having a hard time lately too, God love you, I know with me, it's the amount of time that's passed since Shane passed away, on the one hand I can recall vividly his passing, and all the events surrounding it, but on the other hand, it's been 4 years, and I just plain miss him. And you miss your beloved Joe. It probably is another wave hitting you, and you know you'll ride it out, but oh, they're still painful. Are you still seeing your Counsellor? Oh gosh yes, you've got those dresses to make, I know they'll be beautiful, :) and a garage sale upcoming too! No wonder your time is limited. You didn't mention your precious grandchildren, they must be getting big, and I know that Grandma and Grandpa love them dearly, and no doubt spoil them too, but that's what Grandparents are for, :)
Congratulations to Aaron, I remember you telling us he was studying to become a Minister - a Full Fledged FourSquare one, :) he must be so happy and yes, you and your hubby must be so proud of him! That's wonderful news, and good for you making a trip out of it and enjoying yourselves, you deserve it! You got your garden in too, your weather must be nice and warm and yum, fresh veggies, I love a tomato picked right off, sun-kissed and sooo good! I pray you've seen your Dove by now too. Yes, Yvonne, what would we do without Our dear Lord helping us, I pray that He has you and your family wrapped tightly in His arms, and that your wave is now gone and your sea is calm again. Another beautiful prayer from you dear Yvonne, and it's you Angel Moms that make this Circle so special. Love you too dear Yvonne, hope your garage sale is very successful for all, and your hubby gets the garage up without too much trouble. Much love and our prayers to you, please post if you can before you leave,
Lots of love,
Sandy
