Hello
most of you know I am mommy of the heart to some people.  One of them has a nephew who was shot three times Thursday night.  One of the bullets was lodged in one of his upper cervicals.  He is not breathing on his own.  The aunt just got back from the hospital.  And is awaiting news from her sister (his mother) who lives in the apartment next door.  Very close family.
 
He is not expected to live. And if he does, he will be paralized.  He has had a very hard time of it. And finally was getting his life together.... for the first time.  And now this has happened.
 
If anyone would be able to light candles for him in a group called sean
 http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candles.cfm?l=eng&gi=sean   his family would be very grateful indeed. 
 
Thank you, love, liliiwings

Thank you all,
I must say that my sweeties have not contacted me today to say what Sean's conditon is. Either if he is still here, on a ventelator, or passed on.  I have made calls,  But did not receive word back yet. 
 
Thank you all for your prayers, words and candles.  I know that my sweeties will appreciate it greatly, and Sean's mom also.  I am understanding more these days to appreciate each moment.  Because we do not know what the next moment will bring.  With love and gratefulness, liliwings

Thank you all,
so very much. I sent the link to my sweeties.  and the one who is reading all the messages and candles is so very very deeply touched.  Sean has deveolped pneumonia.  I guess from the ventelator.  He sometimes can breathe a bit on his own.  But cannot move.  he can blink his eyes.  Three times if he is in pain.
 
They want to thank all of you for your kindness you have shown for Sean and the family.  The little 6 year old girl  asked if you could light more over time. because this is going to be long.  She said that when they told him they love him he cried and tried to blow them a kiss.  But he really couldnt. 
 
Sean spent manyyyyyy years in trouble with the law.  He had just gotten his life straightned out.  It truely was a miracle that this happened.  when he was released from prison the last time he was drug free.  Instead of going back on the drugs and ending up back in prison as before, "he found a job he loved" and a girlfriend who he was in a devoted relationship with.  It was like a miracle. 
 
Then he was shot.  His mother went from deep gratitude and relief that her son had reclaimed his life, to being at the hospital all the time of course.   So you can see how deeply sad they felt when he tried to blow a kiss and  and then just cried. 
 
They are a very close family.  So my sweeties will be relieving their sister at the hospital often so she can go home and take care of her other chidlren including a 4 year old.  They do not want to leave him alone at the hospital.
 
Thank you for the beautiful messages and candles.  They feel very touched that you all care.  They could not believe that strangers would care that much.    Thank you all.  love, liliwings

Dear Liliwings,
 
Thank you for telling us more about Sean!
We are not strangers, but all one human family caring for each other!
 
I'll keep Sean and all who love him in my prayers!
 
Much love to you,
Edda

Peace and joy!

Jude  I will light another candle for him and his family now.
Thanks Jude
 
Sandra  I will continue to hold Sean his family and his 'Mommy of heart 'in
my thoughts 
Oh let me explain......  I am "mommy of the heart" to a MPD system (one of a few systems I have helped for many yesrs) whose host is aunt to Sean.  Sean is the son of the host's sister. 
 
I have never talked with Sean. although I have talked with his mom twice.  Again, Sean's mom  is the sister of the host of the MPD system.  MPD is multiple personality disorder aka DID.  Whew, I hope that was not totally confusing.  I am not clarifying this just for Sandra.  But for all.  Because this always gets confusing for people. 
Sandra,  yes, you are so right !!  He already has received many miracles.  I think their hearts break because finally he found a life free of crime and then this.  But then again,  I always come back to knowing that I do not know the higher plan for any soul.  Nor would I with good reason, judge it as good, bad, or otherwise.  Judging the creation and destruction in any given situation  just shows my lack of deepest of understanding. And thats alright.  I am not evolved enough to go to the deepest places of understanding any soul's journey.  I have heard that even Jesus cries.  So even with depth of understanding,  we stlll can cry for the suffering.  Yes.
 
Edda  We are not strangers, but all one human family caring for each other!
  Yes.  And I pray for the eay that many more people will feel this truth.   I will pass your message along to my sweeties. 
I'll keep Sean and all who love him in my prayers!
Thank you. I will pass that along also.  I do so like the idea of sending the candle group link to people we light candles for.  What a great gift to give in the right circumstance.  The power of the internet. where humankind uses technology for good and right purpose.  To gather in the name of light and love.
 
Bless us all.  love, liliwings

Dear liliwings . . .
Thank you for sharing a little more of Sean and his struggles.
Gratefully,
he has received healing of the soul
and of the spirit
before this terrible thing happend.
He remains very much
in my heart and in my prayers
with love . . .

Yes Sparrow
his mom cant stop crying when she is not with him.  His aunt is so physically ill herself. And they are taking turns at the hospital so that he never has a moment alone. 
 
The pneumonia did not respond to the antibiotics that he received.  So they will start him on a differeent one. He still is in intensive care.  He has not been told yet that his parallysis is severe.  They dont want to tell him until the breathing is more under control. Because he will not want to live when he hears that.  Of course they expect that with counselling his feelings will change.  But the doctors do not want him told until he is more stable. so that he will survive the news.
 
Thank you all for lighting candles for him.  while I do not know him,  My sweeties deeply love their "host's" nephew.  Very close family.  Sending love and light, liliwings

Perhaps, dear liliwings,
Sean's spiritual journey from the life he led previously
will give him strength he doesn't even know he possesses
for the trials ahead . . .
and there will be difficult times.
Sometimes we do not know our own strength or courage
until we are tested.
 
Candles remain lit for this dear young man
and for his family 
with love . . .
