Thank you - I wish so much I could say I AM FINE … THINGS ARE GREAT … but I would be lying … having a very hard time with this.

Keep those prayers coming and I am for you as well! How are those migranes?

❤️ Moe
 
Hi Moe,
Code: 
 I am going out to the Shrine of Our Lady of The Isand tomorrow I will offer up prayers for all of you.

 I was just reading in the paper here about a couple who have a special education scholarship for their son named Ben. He died from  something very similar to your KK.

 He was 18yrs old, and getting ready to go to Vassar both he and his father were riding up there to look around. As they approached the Toll  to Throggs Neck Bridge in the Bronx, Ben who had been asleep in the passenger side listening to his IPod just suddenly stopped breathing.

 His father who ironically is a Doctor pulled over to try to resuscitate him but it was too late he was dead. They had no idea there was anything wrong with his heart.

 This happened 1 yr ago and they spoke about their feelings and how very difficult it was. The fact that he was not ill he was totally fine up untill he died, it made they think it so much harder to come to terms with and deal with, They said their faith and friends are what is helping then, I just immediately thought of KK when I read it.  Praying for you Moe you are always in my thoughts.:gopray2:

Yea, I’ve been thinking about you during this back to school season. I can only imagine how tough it is.

The holidays are going to be rough, I’m sure. But you will get through it. All of us here will be here for you as a shoulder to cry on and our prayers will lift you up to get you through the season.

Someday you will celebrate the Christmas season again with KK in Heaven. That day *will *come.

**I know … the anxiety is already building … if back to school was so hard, I shudder to think what Halloween and Christmas will bring. I cry about it all the time 😦

How are you today?**

A child dies from an unknown heart condition every 18 months in New England … at least that is what the pediatric cardiologists told us. The poor family - I feel their pain.

**It is the hardest thing I have ever could imagine … life really stinks … sadness abounds and now coming into the holiday season … my anxiety is getting worse.

I am already walking 3.15 miles a day and 6 miles on the weekend - I might have to walk a couple of times a day to help with the anxiety …

PLEASE keep those prayers going.

I hope all is well with you …

I know the anxiety of the approaching holidays must be horrible for you. You and Greg and Amanda will most definately be in my prayers. I know that Jesus and Mary have their loving arms wrapped around you.

I walk a lot also, I walk to Mass most mornings it takes me about 20mins I say the rosary both ways. If the walking helps you then keep doing it… Maybe we can start of together I in NY you in NH and we can meet up midstream…:😃 Just joking I would most likely collapse after about a couple of hours!:whacky:

I’m doing fine, thank you.

Maybe it would be helpful for you and your family to do some charity work over the season in KK’s honor? Maybe instead of doing the “norm” on Christmas day, you could all volunteer in a soup kitchen or something like that. I’m sure that probably sounds impossible right now, but I think it would make you all feel a little better to do something constructive and meaningful. And it may be good for Amanda.

I’ll definitely be praying extra prayers for your family these next few months.
 
I pray that you will find this kind of peace from philippians 4:7 “And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” May the Lord be with you and Amanda.

My heart goes out to you and your family, but I pray the Sacred Heart be with you and your family until forever----my two older daughters are the same age as yours are–13 and 14, and my heart hurts to think of any parent having to suffer this. You tell Amanda that our prayers are with her—Celine’s (14) Zoey (13) and mine Lisa Annette----Always-, Blessed Mother takes care of children. I am off to pray my rosary right now for her and Amanda too (an I was going to MISS, until I read your post!). God Bless you abundantly with His assurance. She is with Him!

Definitely think of something to do as a family in her honor.

Last year we gathered all the toys we had stored for Gabriel’s birthday and Christmas (it was quite a lot) and gave them to a local orphanage for Christmas. We haven’t quite figured out how we will do it each year. We don’t know if we’d rather continue getting gifts for 3 year old boys and sending them or get gifts for what his age would have been that year.

Also, when I was 16, my 18 year old sister died in an auto accident. After that, my mom would always pick out an angel from the angel tree to give gifts to. Sometimes she would have each of us kids pick one as well.

I definitely remember how my parents were so distressed at the holidays. They had always been so fun for us kids. If Amanda wants to decorate and celebrate, please do.

We did everything as usual last year at Christmas for our remaining children. We even put Gabriel’s ornaments on the tree.
I had a special one made at Sams with his picture on it and have collected a few special little angel ones from Hallmark.

You could conceivably buy a small special tree just for her ornaments–maybe in white or her favorite color. These are some of the things we considered doing for Gabriel.
 
Dear, dear, dear Moe:

I hope you are a “little” bit better today. I am getting ready to say my rosary and, of course, you and your family will be in it. I also prayed for you in my rosary last nite. I keep reading all the posts from other people and I am so astounded by how many people truly care about you and your family. In that way, you are blessed. We are all here for you. I wish I could take your pain away. I am still offering up my sufferings daily for you. Yesterday and Saturday were particularly difficult days for me. I was in bed most of the time. Hopefully, that helped ease some of someone’s pain. God bless you, dear one. You are always in my thoughts!

Much love,

mom4truth:hug3:

Missing my baby girl terribly .

Love Me**

**Great ideas. Right now Amanda doesn’t want to do anything - she doesn’t even want presents. Our holidays have always been magical …

Every Christmas eve the girls would go to bed about 10:00 … Greg and I would wait a bit and then get all the gifts under the tree … (and there were tons) … and about 3:00 am … they would jump in our beds and wake us up. Greg would run down and get the tree lights on and I would be waiting at the top of the stairs – each girl sitting on the top step holding hands in excitement …. and when Daddy said ready – they would run down the stairs ….

Took us over an hour to open all the gifts …. that is no more … Last year we thought it would be the last Christmas Santa would be mentioned and I wanted to do it extra specially – who would have thought it would have been our last Christmas on Earth as a family :crying:

I hope His Angels protect us and help us through this nightmare!

God Peace!

**Hi my friend - I have been away from CAF for a bit — just having some tough times … but praying always for you and my friends at CAF. I have met some wonderful people here …and we continue to email each day on a personal posts.

God has been good … however, my anxiety has been growing …KK’s class are heading on their one week environmental camp this week and next and I just keep reliving over and over again that horrible day … my prayers as well have been for the class as well as their parents.

Life is so sad … I hope you are feeling better! How are you doing?

Loving you from NH - MOe**
