I am so thankful you and your children were able to get away for a few days. Your family needs that alone time. As many others have said, thank you for sharing your innermost feelings. You truly are an inspiration to others. Prayers are being offered for your family-by complete strangers to you.

I have done so and have enjoyed getting to know you and him through your blog. When you posted a picture of Brad with his cousin recently, I couldn't help but think that I have met you all before. This might be a long shot but since you are Aggies, maybe not. Did you and Brad go on an AFCO trip the summer of 1998? I was an intern from ACU in Chiang Mai, Thailand that summer and I remember a couple being placed in "my group" that really reminds me of you two. What a small world if you guys were that couple!!! <BR/><BR/>I ache for you and what you are facing daily. I wish there were words to say to take your pain away.

I do know what it is like to lose a loved one at a young age. I lost my mom when I was 24. Take each day one day at a time. Some days it is minute by minute. God is carrying you each step of the way. After 13 years I still struggle with the void but I remember how much my Mom loved me. I also think she is dancing on the streets of gold with Jesus. How sweet! I am praying for you and your adorable kids. Thanks for sharing your life with us! Many blessing for you!MeBelievinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12895838962765305020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8875363780334648484.post-60081807562338316792009-03-20T21:58:00.000-07:002009-03-20T21:58:00.000-07:00You are such an amazing woman.

I think Zeke will grow up to be just like him from all I've read. How fun is that to think about?? Such joy and happiness Brad brought everywhere he went. You are a light to all who know you and such a souce of strength. You and your precious children are in our prayers.

I just wanted you to know that you and your family are in my prayers. He was a fun teacher and a great man. I remember he had so much faith in God and it was truly an inspiration. I can hardly imagine the pain you're going through right now, but be comforted by the fact that he's singing with air in his lungs and dancing with his renewed body before the Lord this very moment! All his pain is gone. You can both finally breathe.<BR/>God Bless You!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8875363780334648484.post-11698727477398761552009-03-20T20:20:00.000-07:002009-03-20T20:20:00.000-07:00Jenny - I am sorry for your loss, but glad you are...Jenny - I am sorry for your loss, but glad you are finding some peaceful moments. When I lost my mom, I remember I wanted to sleep a lot. It seemed like I could forget about things when sleeping. My least favorite part of the day was the morning, when I would wake up. There would be a split second in which I would assess my situation (I guess I do this every morning without realizing it - where am I?, what day is it?, what am i supposed to be doing?, etc.). And in that split second I would remember that she was gone and feel it fresh all over again. It took a while for that to stop - for life without my mom to become my new "norm," which eventually did happen whether I wanted it to or not. And the Lord was kind to send me new sources of joy. Anyway, I'm sure it's even harder to deal with the loss of a spouse, but I know that somehow God will carry you through and I pray that He will send you encouragement and joy in this difficult time.<BR/>-KaraMatt, Kara, and Hank (plus Teej)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06244080613727977033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8875363780334648484.post-90117502520819208322009-03-20T18:55:00.000-07:002009-03-20T18:55:00.000-07:00Jenny, y'all are in our prayers.Jenny, y'all are in our prayers.AKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07389650958923718319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8875363780334648484.post-84752925426342356742009-03-20T17:49:00.000-07:002009-03-20T17:49:00.000-07:00I am so thankful to see your blog today... we have...I am so thankful to see your blog today... we have been praying for you and just to hear your words here help me know how you are doing...

Not a day goes by that my heart doesn't ache for you, Z and K. <BR/><BR/>This morning, I was explaining to Mitchell how sometimes God sends us something to take our minds off what's going on around us. For us today, it was a red-headed woodpecker when we were trying to leave for school. We were just getting in the car when we should have been walking into his classroom, so chaos was all around. But, there was that little bird, working away at the tree by the driveway. We stopped our rush and watched it for several minutes.<BR/><BR/>When I got back in the car, we said a prayer thanking God for taking our minds off the craziness of the morning and showing us that little bird.<BR/><BR/>May many, many little birds fill your days!Mary Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08117930865426577018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8875363780334648484.post-50412367229237058862009-03-20T13:11:00.000-07:002009-03-20T13:11:00.000-07:00Jenny, you are my inspiration.
