I go back to this site regularly, just because I feel we have a connection. My daughters name is Alivia, she is six and will be seven in March we also call her LIL, lIVI, LILLY BUG so you can see how this hits close to home, for many reasons. I really do not even know what to say but I feel like I need to say something. I am so sorry for your loss, and I know it is hard to breath and try to go own with your life, I can not begin to imagine. I think you are a wonderful person, I hope, and prey GOD will take your pain away and help you and your husband try to begin to live again, live as livi would want you to. I know we have lost our 21 and 28-year-old sisters in the past 1 1/2. When Ashley (21) was killed in a car wreck we went crazy and felt the same but then a year later, and 2 months ago Kasey (28) was killed in a car wreck as well on the same highway, and she has left her 4 year old daughter Avree here and her husband is in the clear now but he had a 10% chance of even living. God does have a plan and I know it's hard to understand or explain it or not want to be angry or question him but we have to know in our heart of hearts that it's a plan and not just any plan but it has to be a good plan.I will con't to prey for you and your family Keep doing the thing that you loved to do with her and remember she is watching you and she would love to see her mommy happy not sad, she is with our FATHER and she is watching over you guys.He is taking care of her till you get there. <BR/><BR/>Always keep it in your mind and your heart that even though she is not here with ya'll she is still in GOOD HANDS she is in GOD'S HANDS and she is not sick no more. <BR/><BR/>Alicia Samples <BR/>Villa Rica, GAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21221250.post-83273495044542075612008-01-04T22:31:00.000-05:002008-01-04T22:31:00.000-05:00EI just took a moment out of our reality to peek i...E<BR/>I just took a moment out of our reality to peek into yours.

You are right, it really changes the way the hall looks. When we come through the doors it helps to lift our spirits. We all appreciate it so much. I can't imagine the toll it takes on you to walk down that hall. Jed talks about Livi often. He gets very sad but he always perks up and tells me how Livi feels so great now and can play outside. He always has the best view of the sad stuff. So thanks again and know that we think of you all often. <BR/>I wish you peace and love,<BR/>Kristin, Jed and familyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21221250.post-13487627822512042912007-12-14T17:34:00.000-05:002007-12-14T17:34:00.000-05:00Emily and James, I continue to pray each day tha...Emily and James,<BR/> I continue to pray each day that your broken hearts will heal knowing little Livi is in a much better place.

My prayers of healing go out to him from this day on. If it meant all the more to God and to his family, I would be there in a heartbeat to pray for him in person. I truly mean that. There is nothing going on this season that is more important to me other than Jesus Himself than your emotional grief and the physical hardship little Jackson is going through. Whatever the Lord's will is in all of this...let it be done. There is no sacrifice to great for such things...I will be praying from afar no matter what.<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/><BR/>CarolineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21221250.post-76394863748367340612007-12-14T09:35:00.000-05:002007-12-14T09:35:00.000-05:00Emily,I don't even know what to write, but tears r...Emily,<BR/>I don't even know what to write, but tears roll down my cheeks. You are an amazing woman of God. Through your saddness and tears, you still manage to minister to others. You put so much feeling into your words; I feel like I know you. I would love to have just one day with you. You would teach me so much. I will keep Jackson and his family in my prayers. You are in my prayers daily, Emily.
