I love reading your blogs and you inspire me everytime I do. You are a phenomenol mom and I'm glad you have chosen to still keep us posted. Kyara's memories will always be alive. Happy Holidays. We love you! <br /><br />Lisa Johns SR day surgeryLisa Johnsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4021686398978672843.post-6276602961876316052010-11-16T10:53:54.771-05:002010-11-16T10:53:54.771-05:00Genie,

And she's beautiful.<br />Second, I saw in the LaGrange News that Matt has been nominated for Teacher of the Year at Callaway! So, so proud of him!<br />Last, about your post. I love and appreciate your absolute honesty. I have no words of wisdom - you have passed through far more in your young life than I have though I have far surpassed you in years. <br />I will say that as I continue to walk this faith life with Jesus I find Him to be far less judgmental than I originally imagined and far more accepting, loving and compassionate.<br /> I think he must see you as you would see your own hurting, confused child but in his Godliness he has so much more understanding and forgiveness than we can fathom.<br />Thinking of you and your precious family during the coming season of joy.grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13252725493338702090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4021686398978672843.post-51871248008015808882010-11-11T11:21:49.105-05:002010-11-11T11:21:49.105-05:00Genie,

I have two children, and I know I would have had the pull up surgery. I have never questioned your decisions after the surgery either. I believe that God gave you extra time with Kyara for you and your family to have time to say goodbye. I know the time was difficult...it was difficult to go through it with you by reading your blog. I was so sad once I knew the time was getting close, but again I did not question your decisions. You did everything you could. Most importantly you loved/love Kyara with all your heart!! <br /><br />By the way, I have been tempted to post the next part several times as I have read your previous posts about Halloween, but I have second guessed myself every time. Since you said you like posts no matter if you agree with them or not I decided to go ahead. I love fall and Halloween too, and tend to go overboard. I understand your hesitancy about the holiday, but I was happy to hear that you were able to find a way to enjoy the holiday. I thought you and your family might like to add a new celebration to the season. My family celebrates The Day of the Dead to honor my granny. We aren't from Mexico, but we decided to do it anyway. My parents grew up in Texas, so that's how we were familiar with it. We love the special day to remember her. At first it was hard, but over the years it has become a day we look forward to. A day we can think about our good times with her, be a little silly, look at her photos, and tell stories about her. Here's a link about the holiday that you can look at if you are interested.<br /><br />http://www.wikihow.com/Celebrate-Day-of-the-Dead-(Dia-De-Los-Muertos)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4021686398978672843.post-23080643364594539292010-11-03T20:01:33.315-04:002010-11-03T20:01:33.315-04:00Lynn Beck,

I've been following your journey for quite sometime although I have never written to you - you may not even remember me unless I tell you that I'm Beth Murray's mother. I think your hair looks wonderful & I hope you enjoy it.

I know that doesn't make everything easier, but rest in the knowledge that she is safe, healed, completely filled with the love of God.

I just wanted to say what an inspiration your family has been. I know at times you think your faith has fallen but those are the times that I find you MOST inspirational. You remain steadfast. You remain strong. I know it is in those moments that you are allowing yourself to be carried. I know it seems hard at times to keep on keeping on but you do. You are an amazing Mom and wife. You are an inspiration to many. Look how many follow and read your blog??? I am so touched by your family and I hope I can be the same inspiration to others. Keep on keeping on. I will keep praying that God's Will be done. Remember less of me so that there can be more of Him. Much love!

I enjoy reading your blogs and how honest you are with everything you are feeling...I can assure you so many others are struggling to be consistent with faith as well (me included). I think the greatest gift I can give my child is a relationship with God. I, like you, sometimes go astray and get distracted. I need to spend more time personally as well. Thanks for the reminder. I have always thought you are a PHENOMENAL mother. You will be in my prayers!!!<br />-Jess HernandezAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4021686398978672843.post-7422099863914899252010-11-03T11:19:33.280-04:002010-11-03T11:19:33.280-04:00OK...
Can't wait to see you with the pixie cut...OK...<br />Can't wait to see you with the pixie cut!!! You're gonna look great!<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing some halloween pics! I'm sure you all looked fabulous.<br /><br />Chemistry? I absolutely hated it... and if you ask me, I can't even identify ONE element on the periodic table... I feel bad for you that you have to study that course... Ugh! But at least you know that you've confronted and surpassed much bigger hurdles.....<br /><br />As for your feelings.. I think it's great that you find solace in God and that your connection to Him is what keeps you going. I think it's very difficult to find that connection but once you do, it will carry you through the tough times... Many people find it easier to discard or blame God and turn to drugs and/or alcohol... you chose the right path, and it was definitely the harder one to choose. He helped you find acceptance... which is the toughest part... once you can accept it, you have the peace to move on.... Admirable, and your girls are going to be incredible human beings for that.<br /><br />One more thing - you love getting comments? I LOVE reading your posts... so I hope you keep on writing....Maybe someday you can put them all in one place - print them up and make a journal... for your girls... ?Tina from Miaminoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4021686398978672843.post-5151371774531993132010-11-03T10:22:09.805-04:002010-11-03T10:22:09.805-04:00You are definatly a inspiration to so many people....You are definatly a inspiration to so many people. <br /> Just wanted to let you know that we think about all of you so often....and continue to pray for you.<br /> I struggle daily with being in God's word and on my knees.

Even if people don’t comment, they still read and are touched by your story…..they are just at a loss of what to write, but know that many are still there in prayer for you. Satan causes doubt. Pray that the Lord takes this evil out of you. May God continue to bless you and your family and bring peace to your thoughts.Melissa Trebuchonnoreply@blogger.com
