Neher-in-law5 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Sometimes our words just don't seem to cover the feelings that we want to share. I am so sorry for your loss. I hope these words will give comfort to you. They were written by my dad after my sister drowned. I've been so proud to be her Dad and share in all the time we had Together Her achievements were a joy to me and tears were shared as you can see Together Phil wasn't perfect nor was I in the many things that we did try Together Now when this earth no more I see it is heaven I hope we'll be Together. May God hold you tight and bring you and the full family through this. With love, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiltingjoyful51 Posted October 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 You have all been so kind and I do feel the love and support. I would like to share with you something about my son. When I found my self expecting him I was already a single mom. Thru must pray the Lord lead me to place him for adoption, he has a beautiful mom and dad. They took him at 10 days old. On March 1,2005 he came back into my life. We have had been good friends since that day. His adoptive parents have asked me and my daughter to be with them. I was prepared for them to ask me to stay away and that was the biggest reason I had asked for prayers for myself. They have even placed my name as his birthmother in the paper. My family will be traveling to Jeffersonville, In. on Wed. the funeral is Thursday morning. Thank You again for being here. Madelyn ,your fathers poem is so beautiful, Thank you for sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilting Heidi Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Joyce, It struck me that all those years ago you gave those adoptive parents the most precious gift they could ever get and you were so brave to do that. Now they have given you a precious gift. This really touched my heart. My prayers are with you all as you go through this difficult time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
