Thanks for posting this........I have been thinking of all of you this season. Had a few tough losses too, and have been thinking alot about this grieving thing. Haven't figured anything out, you understand.........but have been experiencing some of the stuff I know you are too. You know I love you.........but I will say it anyway.......and I'm sharing "it" with you. LoveLikeAlways...........jeanette
Decorating your "Joy Tree" will be a wonderful tradition for your family to celebrate. I started a special tree for my Grandmother years ago and have kept it up. It makes me feel close to her and memories come flooding back to me every time I lift the ornaments out of storage.
God bless you always....
Just someone from Iowa who cares....
Thanks for posting. we always want to see how your family is doing and love hearing about any of your thoughts or news on the family.
have a wonderful new year.
Her grave stood out today when I visted it. The first thing I thought was wow, even now shes still the most beautiful one standing out among a crowd. Always has been, always will be. Thats just how Amanda is.
Love to all of you this season.
I wonder how busy God is keeping her, she can't be sitting still. Since there is no illness nor pain or tears, maybe she is helping prepare a place for her family to come some day. She is in the physical presence of her King, worshiping at his feet, I can't even imagine what that is like. She makes me think I should rethink some things. She still has a ministry here.
I miss hearing updates from your family. I miss all of you. I'm sending lots of love from Nashville.

I also miss hearing the news of your family that I have come to know through this blog. I wonder how the kids are doing in school and if the laughter has come back more frequently or if dad can sit in his office and know that he is continuing Amanda's ministry and her dream of working with kids. I also wonder at times how she is and how her reunion with her mom and other family members was. I can't comprehend the peace she is at right now, but I want to experience that one day for all eternity.
