I think it's important for you to understand I'm just a simple woman who happened to have been given an extraordinary task!! So I'll begin introducing my family to you....starting, of course, with ME. ................. I've been happily married to the same man since December 23, 1975. My husband, Jim, and I had three daughters who grew up and gave us nine (yes, NINE) grandchildren.....five girls and four boys......who you'll get to know later.....if you decide you want to, that is.... ummmmmmm.......I came from a large family....four sisters and five brothers....I'd have to stop and do some serious counting to tell you how many nieces and nephews I have!!!! ......I love my God above all and my family next!! I appreciate more than ever the wonderful friends I've met along life's way.. FINALLY.......all I really want out of life now is to find God's perfect will for me and JUST DO IT!! I never planned to be a Mom again....this is just the way it turned out........My daughter needed help, seeing she had two older children and Jimma was truly a 24/7 baby.... Iam now trying desperately to find God's perfect will in my life....my life MUST count for HIM!!.....sooo. I stumble along...trying to find where it is my feet will take me now............. ok...enough for now, I think.......

Sweet Jimma, I just have the need..again...to talk to you. I've been sharing what happened with some new friends....on a site called Inspire. I was really surprized at the response I got when I started talking about you! But maybe I shouldn't have been, huh? ....anybody who ever met you fell in love with you.......that's not gonna end just because you're not here with me anymore, is it? It's about 3:30 in the morning....we saw this time a lot together, didn't we? Sometimes you couldn't sleep....we'd lay awake...talk....snuggle....sometimes just look into each other's eyes. O how I miss having you beside me!! We've been having such a hard time without you here......it seems my motivation is waning, it's getting so much harder to just get out of bed and do the ordinary things......the pain I feel is getting to me, Jimma....and Daddy....o how he cries...how do I help him?....can you visit us again? ...my little light...my little ray of sunshine....my reason to smile......I need help writing the rest of that day .. the day I told you goodbye....the day I asked Jesus to please take you Home...because I could feel you...and I knew you couldn't take that aweful machine pounding you any longer...but, still... You were sooo strong!!! ....so much stronger than I could ever be.. You held on, baby, when your little body had nothing to offer you... then.. I felt you leave your beautiful...tired body----I thought surely I should die..my breathing became labored..I wanted to run and run and run.....my legs wouldn't cooperate, then the nurse took me by the arm and led me to that aweful room...and I'm still here.....wanting to be where you are........wondering what it is I'm supposed to do now....Surely there is something meant for my life now...it cannot just remain this empty abiss...Precious Angel Mine.....Mommy misses you sooooooo
ANOTHER CHRISTMAS SEASON...

Here we are....again....this is the second Christmas without you, my baby... I thought, somehow....it would change....get a little bit easier, maybe? ....perhaps I would become a little wiser.....adjusting....accepting....
But nothing has changed, baby.....I still miss you with a shattered heart...my arms still ache for the weight of you. I miss your smile....I miss your love.....I miss the smell of you after a bath....I miss the unfettered joy I saw as you admired the lights of the Christmas tree....and the wonder of the presents under the tree....
I put your Christmas toys out today....they bring back soo many memories....of days long ago....Jimma, Mommy's heart just won't stop aching....I know you'd be so upset with me....Guess what I did!.....there's a reindeer with pink lights in your garden....and lighted presents.....and the Christmas tree you helped me to decorate that last Christmas...you touched those ornaments....I miss your hands....
