I am thankful for the friendship they created between us. I am anxiously awaiting your new referral! I can't wait to see the face of the precious baby God has had planned for your family all along.

The fact that you and Dustin are giving 2 of God's children a home is amazing! To be honest, I am a little bit jealous of the amazing journey you all have the privledge to take.<br /><br />And Eli will be just fine!! Anytime you bring a new child ( or newborn baby) into a family, it is an adjustment. But an adjustment ins't bad---it's just that an adjustment! Eli will grow up with 2 amazing siblings that he will have a bond with like each and every one of us have with our siblings---they will fight and argue and drive each other crazy but they will also love each like crazy and realize that they are all a family and family is forever!<br /><br />Know I will be praying and waiting for more news!!<br /><br />Congratulations on your Amazing Family---- the family God created for you!!!<br /><br />Melissa (Hess) Wyland, Shelly's friend :)hmaadop 21melissa (hess) wylandnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8386588175324652603.post-51911045287862850392012-10-25T13:22:45.977-05:002012-10-25T13:22:45.977-05:00Hi!

Your message made me cry. My due date with Samuel was Decemeber 8, 2008. If things had been different, I could have a healthy three-year old boy today. Like you, I cherish the fact that Samuel is in heaven, but I don't think any amount of time will ever change my selfish desire to have my firstborn son here with me on earth. I wish Maxon a very wonderful birthday in heaven. I thank you, Trish, for so many times saying on your blog what I have felt so strongly in my heart but haven't been able to put into words. <br /><br />Happy Birthday, Maxon!Mama Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07611071682179909230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8386588175324652603.post-20070121430318129772011-07-03T20:58:04.503-05:002011-07-03T20:58:04.503-05:00I've been following your story for some time n...I've been following your story for some time now, but lost track due to having a new baby of my own.
