I am praying for you and wish I had words that could somehow make this easier. I too have been there, (twice actually) and I still don't have words. I also wish I knew why multiple bad things happen so close together. After losing Asher we too got the flu (and had our basement flood) which is why we took off...we didn't stop an hour away we drove 16! Please know that your family is loved and being prayed for!boltefamilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09178547489939649432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029247928009946691.post-35489458177053687612008-03-17T01:57:00.000-04:002008-03-17T01:57:00.000-04:00Thinking of you and praying in CA.There are not wo...Thinking of you and praying in CA.<BR/>There are not words to describe my sympathy and sorrow for you. <BR/>From another mom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029247928009946691.post-7468922692041896002008-03-16T16:40:00.000-04:002008-03-16T16:40:00.000-04:00Thinking and praying for you and your family.A fri...Thinking and praying for you and your family.<BR/>A friend in Tennessee:<BR/>NicoleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029247928009946691.post-35237845979253255432008-03-16T03:35:00.000-04:002008-03-16T03:35:00.000-04:00I have been thinking and praying for your family a...I have been thinking and praying for your family all day. I will continue to do so. May you find peace and serenity in your hearts. May you find rest and health so that you can cope with the coming days. May you find patience to help Oceana grieve the loss of her baby brother. She may not be able to verbalize it, but she understands that sadness is cloud hanging over her family. May God Help her see his light. May your tears cleanse you and heal your heartbreak. May you all find peace, comfort and tranquility.<BR/><BR/>Little Joshua has touched so many lives through you and this blog. I feel blessed to have read each and every word.

God woke me up at 5:15 my time with your family very pressed on my heart to pray for you. I'll admit, I thought it was crazy because I have never met ya'll and I'm still new to your blog, but I did only to get on this morning and find out about Joshua. I'm extremely sorry for your lose, and can't fathom what you're feeling, nor will I pretend to, but I cry with you guys!!! I pray you can take comfort in Psalm 147:3 - He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. My thoughts and prayer are with you in each step of this!!Amber Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03695351557342482828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029247928009946691.post-13389062947447814782008-03-15T22:28:00.000-04:002008-03-15T22:28:00.000-04:00Susie, Matt & all the rest - we're praying for you...Susie, Matt & all the rest - we're praying for you all - for health - and for God's touch in EVERY aspect right now.

Please do not let all this stress build up on top of your grief. Your faith is strong and God will not let anything happen to you that he knows you cannot handle. That was one of the many things I have learned since I found out about Joshua and decided to go to church and start my walk with God. If I could take any of the pain and stress out of your life right now I would in a minute, I will pray and hope for your healing to be much easier.

I know you are half a world away, but I am sending you a hug, from one mum who has lost her little boy, to another. We WILL hold them again one day. I know that doesn't ease the pain right now, but we have the sure and certain hope that one day - we don't know when - but one day, we will catch up with our boys again, sweep them into our arms, and never have to let them go again. Take care of each other, and be gentle with yourselves. So many people across the globe are praying for you right now.
