They are not apart from us, but part of us,
For love is eternal,
And those we love shall be with us throughout all eternity

 
. . . not from us, but of us . . .
if we just be still
and let this truth wash through us.
 
Thank you Sandra dear.
My prayers will be with Mary,
with those who love her . . .
with you
with love . . .

Thank you ladies for your prayers.Mary was laid to rest today.As we all know it's the ones left behind that feel the loss.I pray those who love her can gain peace knowing she is not suffering now not at all.
 
Yvonne is in a lot of pain but pain killers are numbing some of it.I also feel she is run down but she is not able to let little James sleep over with anyone only his sister.I pray she will allow me and others in time to care for our cheeky little man.
 
Thank you again for your prayers and candles.
 
Sandra xx

Poor Yvonne had to go to the hospital this morning after she dropped Little James off at school.She had to have an abscess lanced.They wanted to keep her in so that they could operate under anesthetic.She begged them to lance it there and then as she needs to be there for Little James.After much debate her wish was granted .
 
She is home now but between the pleurisy and this she is in need of extra prayers .
 
I am going over to pick little James up from school.Can I ask you once again to pray for her health to return to how it use to be.
 
Thanking you in advance
 
Sandra xx

Thank you ladies I firmley believe in the power of  prayer So does Yvonne.It's very hard really for Yvonne yet she always smiles and says she has so much to be grateful for.
 
Bless her she was in so much pain during the night yet her main concern was taking James to school this morning before she went to the hospital.She is not very good at asking for help but I am slowly drilling this into her
 
James has his monthly blood test tomorrow at the hospital and tonight before I left he said 'it's ok it does not hurt me because I am a big boy'.He then rolled up his sleeve and showed me all the marks on his arms from the injections etc.He reallly is a brave little boy God bless him.
 
Thank you again lots,Sandra xx

I saw this this morning,
and it made me think
of little James . . .

everything counts... ♥

Bless you Fluffy you just made me smile with such happy thoughts .See the little one under the table? well James had asked Yvonne for a certain type of biscuit when they went shopping.When they reached home he asked for a cup of milk and one of the biscuits.He then crawled under the table(just like this little mouse) and ate his biscuit and drank his milk.Yvonne asked him why did he go under the table he said 'because that is what they do on the advert Mummy'.Bless him he is as bright as a button he really is.
 
Thank you for the picture it had more meaning that you knew.

. . . a part of me must have known . . .

Little James had his first ever trip to the cinema today.His doctors were not sure if the flashing lights would bring on a seizure so Yvonne has always kept her distance just in case.Bless him some of his friends had on several occasions invited James to the cinema for birthday parties etc.He came home one time from school clutching a party invitation saying to his Mummy that he wished 'he was normal' because then he could go to the cinema.He then asked her if she could take his fits out of him. It was heart breaking to hear this.
 
After talking to the doctors they said the only way to know for sure was to take him along and see.
 
Well like I said he went with a very nervous Mummy and he did not have a seizure so this another mile stone in his little life.
 
Thank you ladies for your prayers and candles I am sure this and Little James's smile is what is giving Yvonne  hope for a bright future for her very special little boy.
 
Love to all,Sandra xx

Thank you, Sandra, for this bit of good news! Little James finally got to the cinema, a milestone for him! I am happy for him! I hope he will have many more opportunities to see a movie without incident!
 
Much love,
Edda

Peace and joy!

I am so pleased to hear
that James managed his visit to the movies so well.
Most of us
take these simple pleasures for granted.
A trip to the cinema
is something many people do every weekend
without giving it a thought!
I am reminded
by your story,
again,
to be grateful
for all of it
with love . . .

Thank you ladies for your warm and supportive words.Yes we so often take many things we do daily for granted until something happens to make us really know just how fortunate we are.
 
I went out for lunch with James today and he was full of beans as he told me all about the cinema.Bless him he said' and the good thing is it was so funny and I did not have a fit'. It's so sad really to hear him talk about fits but to him it's 'normal'.
 
Little James has more tests next week as the doctors feel that his illness may  have caused other changes in his little body.I know you all hold James  in prayer daily so he will be ok please God.
 
Thank you ladies once again ~

Little James went in for his tests today I spoke to his Mummy tonight.She told me that James went as white as a ghost when he was having his blood taken.The docotrs were very good they gave him water and took off his clothes as he was becoming very hot as well.God bless him and his Mother they have been through so much and will continue this pattern throughout his life.
 
They will call my sister with the results as soon as they get them.
Thank you for your prayers and candles they never go unnoticed or unheard.

Dearest Sandra, even though I have not posted for along time, you, your Louis, your little James and your sister have remain not far from my thoughts. I do hope that the tests go good for little James i really do! He is such a tough and strong boy. I only hope that things will work out and that he will be able to life a long life. I like the rest here am glad that little James got to go to the movies. That is something that like the others have said that most people take for granted! I shall ALways think of little James now when I take the kids to the movies. I am lighting a candle for you, your Louis, your little James and your sister. Take care Sandra Much love sent your way, Joya

Thank you ladies for your prayers and caring ways..
 
I must share this with you as it made me laugh.
 
Yvonne just called me she took little James trick and treating he was a ghost.They knocked on a door and a little old lady opened the door  very fast.James dropped his little bucket full of treats and said 'gosh you frightened the life out of me'.The little old lady said 'you frightened me too'!Bless him it's so nice to hear him having fun again.

Dear Sandra,
 
I am glad little James had some fun! I can just imagine how the little old lady and James frightened each other!
 
Please, give him a hug for me!
 
Love,
Edda
