Dear Moe,

Just finished my rosary and included you and yours in it. I had a really bad day today. Could not go to Mass…😦 Hopefully, I can make it to Mass one day during the week.

Take care Moe and love 'ya!

Father please continue to hold this family close as they continue to deal with the heartache they feel in their loss. In the name of your son Jesus I pray. Amen.

** … to hopefully save some souls in purgatory … I am not sure … but there are so many parents out there who have losted their children … I can’t imagine that purgatory is bulging from the sides … the pain is so great … and we are continuing to offer it up …hourly at times.

Oh Moe, You’re doing much more than that. Remember how Our Lady said to the Fatima children how so many souls are lost b/c there is no one who will offer prayers or sufferings for them? There are mothers who will see their children in Heaven who otherwise wouldn’t have b/c of your offerings.

I’m thinking of you and praying for you often everyday. Hang in there, Moe.
 
Hello Geisinger family, Just wanted to let Amanda know that I am praying for her heart to heal, and that I am praying for the rest of the family to have peace, and hope. Mo, I sense your families loss by looking at your daughters web site. McCayla was a beautiful girl. My cousin died in 1974 at age 19, his friend was asleep at the wheel and they ran into a semi. I have always kept him in my heart, to this day. I only saw him about 4 times, he was 9 years older than me. I will keep Mckayla and Amanda in my heart and in my prayers just like I have for my cousin. I guess I just have a sense of fairness to me. So, move on knowing Mckayla is in your heart, and is near you, as she is for those of us who have adopted her as a lost loved one!
 
Dear Moe,

Just dropping in to let you know that I am always thinking and praying for you and your family. My heart just aches for you. You will be in my rosary again.

Take care, hon.

Love,

Today in our little country newspaper - there was an article about McKayla’s Garden … the school in which she attended first - sixth … planted a garden in her memory - I which I could post the article here - but it is a jpg file and I do not know how to do that 😦 In any event - The staff and community raised money for a rose quartz stone to honor her. There was a plaque made and the local monument company donated their time to prepare the stone placement … The staff also donated the plants for the garden … this (along with the attached article is what I sent to our family, friends and community) …

**Hopefully you can see this - but I have attached the file so you can make bigger. This was in the Amherst Citizen this week — mentioning McKayla’s Garden, a Tribute from the Mont Vernon Village School community. It is so fitting that I sit and read this … during what perhaps has been one of the most painful ‘firsts’ that we have experienced … they have all been painful … but there is something about the beginning of school that was such a huge tradition in our family … after shopping both girls would choose a room and spread out the bags of schools supplies and clothes that we got … and they would get ready for their first day. Tears have flown unbelievably these last few weeks.

It was the first time in 9 years that we didn’t take school pictures of the girls at the end of our driveway … it was just too painful for all of us. Amanda and I did go out for Ice-cream … a tradition that we have been doing since the girls started school. But even then, Amanda didn’t want to stay and eat it … like we always do - no matter the weather. I think it was too hard for her. She is missing her sister tremendously. And this summer has been exceptionally hard.

I am starting to have anxiety with the upcoming holidays … so I ask for prayers to be strong enough to be able to handle them, holidays that were such a huge part of our family.

As a wonderful friend once said …

Figuring out how to live with joy and sorrow sitting side-by-side us in our lives is certainly a long road. Step-by-step, day-by-day.

My prayer is that we will … as we head into our 6th month without our beautiful daughter, sister, grand daughter, niece, cousin, friend … May God be with us as we continue in our journey without her …

Love - The Geisinger’s**
 
*Dear Moe,

What a beautiful thing your community has done. I am still praying for your broken hearts and will continue to do so however long it takes to heal. God will heal your heart - maybe not completely, since she is part of you; but enough so that you and your family may go on with this life. My prayer for you is that Our Blessed Mother will hold you tenderly in her arms, wrap you in her warm mantle and wipe your tears away. I place all your tears, fears, unfulfilled dreams, wishes, desires and sorrow at the feet of our Lord Jesus Christ. May He grant you peace, day by day, moment by moment. God be with you!

With much love,’

**Our Pastor and the wonderful priest that said McKayla’s funeral and then … months later … came and buried her … said there is no such thing is coincindences … they are Godincidences … isn’t that amazing? Godincidneces …our hearts are truly broken … my husband was in my arms not too long ago and crying … I WANT HER BACK … this is so hard CAF … we need you so much … thank you for all that you have offered and continue to offer … our hearts are broken … and as we march through the months towards the Holidays — we are paralyzed …

Love always and forever — the Geisinger’s … **

I’m on board with this one! wow…

Moe,
You are all, and will always be, in my prayers. Your circumstance… is my greatest fear, and I offer my tears for you and your family up to Jesus along with yours. May God fill your hearts with His peace, mercy, and love to fill the void left by your beautiful girl.

How ya doing, Moe? I’ve been thinking about you and praying for you.
 
Again, I dont know what to say. I dont know if this will help, but my daughter and I were almost in a horrific car accident the other day. I dont know how to describe it in detail except that at one point, I was driving THROUGH both lanes of traffic on the yellow line with cars on each side, and we got out without hitting anything and without a scratch. It was the middle of the day and it happened in an instant - and I’m a very careful driver. anyway - the point is that after I came out of shock - I was seriously in shock, I realized that honestly, that should have been my time to go, but for whatever reason, I am still here. Its not FAIR. Maybe mean people should go and good people should stay. I dont know how God works, all I know is that for whatever reason, your darling little precious angel is with God.

I can not pretend to even imagine one second of your agony. I am serious when I say that. I am not trying to make it all better or anything. I think you are showing a kind of faith and resolve that frankly, I’m not quite sure I would have in the face of what you have gone through. But at the same time, I know that it is because of you that there are many times during different days that I pray a prayer for you, and for your daughter, and then hug my daughter, and think that it isnt fair that your daughter went and that me and my daughter are still here. Again, I dont know all the answers, but you have made me pray harder for you and for my family. I am sure that doesnt bring you much consolation, but I had to tell you. I hope that I dont make you upset by saying any of this. Its from my deepest heart to let you know that it is so often that I think of you. And pray for you. And admire the strength and vulnerability both that you show.

Praying for you always,
Vester

Wow, I’m glad you two are OK. That sounds terrifying!
 
It was. I crested a hill, and there was a line of cars stopped waiting for the first one in line to turn left. I knew I could not stop in time. I remember drawing in a huge breath and thinking of my daughter. I knew I would hit the back of the car in front of me, and something in me wouldnt allow me to do it - so I did the stupidest thing ever, I veered into oncoming traffic (It wasnt a decision, more of a reflex.) They were just getting going from waiting for the car in my original lane to turn left. I now am looking at a car that I’m headed for a head on collision and I started bracing myself and then I saw a path. This small path. Between the two lanes of cars, on the yellow line. And I’m in a WAGON, ok? Not a small car. And so I went. Again, this wasnt a decision, more of a instant reaction. I went through both lanes of cars (about 5-6 on each side) without a scratch. If one person was an inch to the left or right, I have no doubt we would have flipped our car several times. I pulled over after it, and there was a woman there who was crying, and she said, God was just looking out for you. I started crying hysterically, and all I could say over and over was “I have my daughter in the car with me.” I was hysterical. Not one person was hurt. Not a scratch on my car. It was God that moved my daughter and I though those cars. I have no doubt in my mind. It was not chance. There is no way to truly describe it. I sat up all night until 5am in the mornign that night because I could not sleep. I kept saying to my husband. It is not possible, what I did. Its not possible that I’m not hurt. I just kept saying it over and over. Well, with God anything is possible.

My friend said…“Hey, you know that song…Jesus take the wheel…well, I guess you took that literally.” 🙂

Sorry, didnt mean to hijack the post, but hopefully it brings a smile to someones face. And I prayed prayers of thanksgiving every day since then. If you could throw one in for me, I’d appreciate it.

I can always count on you … pretty tough couple of weeks with back to school. And now I am getting anxiety about the upcoming holidays … just missing her terribly 😦

**Thanks ChinaDad. Thanks for reaching out and please keep the prayer’s coming … life is so very sad at times the pain in unbearable. But I am working and I am walking every day … so it is helping some, not all, of my anxiety.

God Bless You …

**Vester – my goodness … how horrific … thanks be to God you and your daughter are safe. Your guardian angels must have been watching over you ---- what a scare. **

I don’t know how God works either and I am not too happy about his decisions sometimes… I know McKayla is with him and not missing us … but it still hurts and I just want her back in my arms ……

I can not pretend to even imagine one second of your agony. I am serious when I say that. I am not trying to make it all better or anything. I think you are showing a kind of faith and resolve that frankly, I’m not quite sure I would have in the face of what you have gone through.

I don’t either … it is only by the grace of God. I will tell you that I hate to think what I would be like if I didn’t have faith …… That is for sure.

But at the same time, I know that it is because of you that there are many times during different days that I pray a prayer for you, and for your daughter, and then hug my daughter, and think that it isnt fair that your daughter went and that me and my daughter are still here.

You journey’s aren’t over yet …. McKayla’s was – not sure why …. But I wish it were I that went and not her. She would have changed the world …. I thank you for your prayers … I mean it when I say it is the prayers and God’s Grace that get’s us through the very long and arduous days.

Again, I dont know all the answers, but you have made me pray harder for you and for my family. I am sure that doesnt bring you much consolation, but I had to tell you. I hope that I dont make you upset by saying any of this. Its from my deepest heart to let you know that it is so often that I think of you. And pray for you.

**Nothing you could say would upset me. I thank you for taking the time to reach out to me … it is what helps keep me going. There are so many wonderful people I met just here at CAF …. Each and everyone of you are a tapestry in my life!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU **

Praying for you always,
Vester
