I know just what you meant by wishing your new friends had known Joshua. It has been almost 11 years and our life has changed quite a bit. We adopted a little girl from China in 2003 and have a whole new group of friends because of that experience. Which was nice because many of our old friends seemed to drift away because I guess our loss hit way too close to home for them. <BR/><BR/>I really enjoy visiting your blog every day. You are a wonderful writer and I love seeing the pictures that you take. Please give Oceana a hug for me and I will give my Mikayla a hug from you. <BR/><BR/>Joyce Hartley<BR/>Boise, IDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029247928009946691.post-92132125326282014122008-06-19T08:49:00.000-04:002008-06-19T08:49:00.000-04:00So glad your sister is "home" now!

Have a great visit with your sister.<BR/><BR/>Still thinking of youamandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07835599199163769758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029247928009946691.post-26072241803324013602008-06-18T19:05:00.000-04:002008-06-18T19:05:00.000-04:00Ahhh, that last bit about resting your lips on the...Ahhh, that last bit about resting your lips on the top of his head gave me a pang right in my heart. I know exactly what you mean by that and I had a sudden fleeting thought of what it would be like to not be able to do it anymore.<BR/><BR/>I know it does not possibly begin to compare to your feelings and that's not my intent. I know I don't really understand. But I hope you don't mind my saying that I "miss" Joshua too.Irishembihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10479794874945316072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029247928009946691.post-83115768813221652722008-06-18T17:41:00.000-04:002008-06-18T17:41:00.000-04:00I love reading your blog!
