Dear Joya,

I´ve been thinking of and praying for you during the past days. The ritual with the balloons must have been really special; you can trust that so much love reached Kelsey! Please, dear Joya, don´t be angry at yourself for feeling angry! It is the most natural thing in the world. No feeling of ours should be suppressed. There´s a need behind every feeling, so we do well to look at it and see how we can meet it. Having worked through it, we can then let go of it, when the time is right...

Do take care and be as gentle with yourself as possible!

Love and Blessings,
Juliana

Dearest Sandra, Edda, Kelly C, Jude, and LilSparrow, thanks for the continuing support at this hard time in our lives. We really appreciate the love and support and the candles. This weekend has been so hard. Yesterday was the hardest obvioulsy. The kids did write on the balloons to Kelsey and we hope that Kelssy has seen them by now. Kelsey along with our 2 other angel babies will always be love and forever in our hearts. Please just continue to pray for us (especially me as I am having a problem with my anger and depression etc. ) I am so angry right now and I know that this is not right. Thanks again for reading this and all your posts to me. You all here are such very special people. I don't know what I would do without my gratefulness family. Sending my love to each and every one of you.

Dear, dear Joya . . .
I pray that your pain be eased
as your balloons fly towards heaven.
Little Kelsey is surely loved
and will always be remembered,
even as God remembers the snowdrop
that never came to bloom . . .
with much love . . .

Dearest All, I would appreciate your thoughts and prayers the next few days as this is going to be a very heard weekend for us. As you all know, in April I lost Kelsey to a miscarriage. This coming Monday, the 9th of November was suppose to be Kelsey's due date. We know that Kelsey would have already probably would have been in our loving arms right now as all my babies came early. We are having such a hard time accepting that Kelsey was not meant to be here with us on earth. My kids are really taking this hard too so any prayers would be appreciated. I never thought that this would be so hard.... It is so very hard to accept that we will NEVER get to hold Kelsey on this earth... The hurt and the pain NEVER goes away... On Monday, we will be realeasing balloons in Kelsey's honor. I have decided to let the kids write their own message to Kelsey on them. I am hoping that this will help ease some of the pain we feel. We can NEVER bring Kelsey back, but knowing that Kelsey is looking down on us and that my other angel babies are too helps... Thanks for reading this. I am so hurt tonight. There are not enough words to describe the way I feel I hurt tonight. I am very thankful for my other living kids please don't get me wrong. I guess maybe that is why I miss Kelsey more as I know so much more of what I am missing out on with Kelsey. Thanks for reading this... Love to all!

Dear Joya: I wanted to let you know I won't quit praying. My heart and prayers go out to you and your family.

Dearest Joya,

My thoughts are with you right now seeing and feeling how your heart is broken open once again.Somethings are hard to accept and the loss of a dear wanted child is one of them.

Your little Kelsey lives on Joya inside of you and I am sure she will help carry you through the next few days.

My thoughts are with you and your family at this difficult time.

Take good care Joya and I too think it's a lovely idea to float balloons up to Kelsey ...

Little Snowdrop

The world may never notice
If a Snowdrop doesn't bloom,
Or even pause to wonder
If the petals fall too soon.
But every life that ever forms,
Or ever comes to be,
Touches the world in some small way
For all eternity.
The little one we long for
Was swiftly here and gone.
But the love that was then planted
Is a light that still shines on.
And though our arms are empty,
Our hearts know what to do.
Every beating of our hearts
Says of our love for you.

Dearest Joya,

My heart goes out to you and your family as this difficult date comes around. I think releasing the balloons with their personal messages will be helpful to your children. You miss having Kelsey in your midst terribly. I think Kelsey is close to you and looking after you.

I will light a candle for you!

Wishing you comfort and peace,

Much love and warm hugs,
Edda

Dearest Joya,
Do please listen to all the advice so lovingly given here! YOU are the most important person (which ever way you look at it) in your houshold, so it is important that you look after yourself.
When I was young I too thought I could defy the laws of nature, but nature knows best and will soon give you a kick if you don't behave!
The others are right...older children enjoy a bit of responsibility, and it does teach them life skills.

So go and get that doctor's check-up to put your mind at rest, and......slow down!

with Love,
Jude

How good to see you back
dear Joya . . .
I can see that your life has been a whirlwind
(as usual )
but I pray
that you remember
to take care of yourself.
'Me' time will nourish you
so that you can better nourish others
with love . . .

Welcome back Joya !!!
I second what Betty said. all of it. whewwwwwwwwwww it is totally inconceivable what you do !!! Super woman. Sometimes when we can delegate responsabilities and chores to the older ones, it teaches them invaluable life skills. Teaching them responsability and how to care for others. Skills they will have for a lifetime. Maybe you already do that. But Joya, if not, then doing so can give you some rest you need while helping the older ones to learn some important life skills.

I used to think I could defy what was reasonable for a human body. But I learned the hard way that I could not. I never recovered physically. I was like superwoman taking care of the people I help. After 5 years of doing that I found out that people were right. Doing it that way was going to harm me if I continued. And it did. Maybe you will be okay with it. But I just wanted to share my experience. I am sending lots and lots of love to you Joya., love liliwings

Dear Joya, WELCOME BACK! It is good to see you post again. After reading your two posts, all I can say is WWWWWWHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWW. It sounds like it is time for Joya to take a good long Seriously, dear, you DO need to give yourself as much if not
more care than you give your children, the puppies and all the animals. What happens if
you get sick. Perhaps it would be good to schedule at least one hour of "Care for Joya" each day. You can't keep running yourself into the ground. Do take care of you. I am sure the
older children can look after the younger ones for at least an hour each day to give you a
break. Take good care of you so that you don't end up sick. It really is not worth it.

Hugs and prayers,

Hi Joya!

Welcome Back!
Wow...just think how happy each family will be when they bring one of those puppies home with them. What a joy they are! I just saw my cousin who recieved one of my dogs, Princess's sweet puppies and she had the same temperment as her mom but all white and I often forget because both of my dogs have passed away for some time now. It always makes me smile when she reminds of that! Sweet little Tiffany is still doing well! Hope to catch up with you and hope you get that check up so you can figure out how to get well again!

Peace, Love and Joy,
Diane

Edda, thanks for posting to me. It means so much! It does get exhausting sometimes dealing with all the animals when I have so much going on with the kids, but I think like I said that being and staying busy is good for me right now as it helps me not deal and think about the pain I feel. As far as my animals, I will be hopefully loosing my pups soon to good loving homes. It has been a long 6 weeks. I feel like they have been more kids then anything. My mom came a few weeks ago and she was sort of amazed how much I was having to deal with and take care of. She said that she had no idea that I was staying so busy. As far as myself and my health, I was hoping that my health would look up. We will see. I might have to endup going to the doc after all. Thanks for all your love and concern. Love ALways, Joya

P.S. I tried to post a pic of my pups but I guess I don't know how to or I am doing it the wrong way.

Dear Joya,

I am so glad you had a chance to come back! I still get exhausted just reading everything you are doing, and your animal family keeps growing! Please, don't forget your health with all this activity!

I'll light a candle for you and keep you in my prayers!

Much love,
Edda

Dearest all, it feels so good to be back on here. This is the first time that I have actually gotten the time to be on here for more then 5 minutes. It has really been crazy and hectic around here. I think some of it was the kids are off of school for the summer and I am trying to still do schoolwork, then the 18 puppies and their mommy came. (which they have had a few health problems so I have felt like more of a vet and a mommy.) I have managed to keep 10 pups alive and I still have the mommy. They will be 6 weeks Sunday so I am putting the word out in the paper and etc that the pups are ready. I will surely miss them though as I have put so much time, love and effort into the little ones. I have also gained another horse and are tending to her as she just got thrush. I was given her as my friend had no grass for her and also had her hands full with other horses. I think that it will do my other horse some good as she is getting older and would benefit from a friend. We still have the 2 goats. So.... as you can imagine it has been sort of crazy. I do hope that once the pups are gone to new loving homes and the kids are back in school that things will slow down some. My health is still not good. I do think that it has been a good thing for me to stay busy as my mind has no time to think and stay down. I do need to find the time to get on this forum as I so realized how much I had missed every one of you. Please know that you all remain in my thoughts and prayers even though sometimes I can't get the time to get on here. Thanks for the contiuous love and support and the candles... it has meant so much to me. With love ALways, Joya
