Oh, Mandee that's good news. I will pray this man will have the Lord's compassion and see your mom thru the eyes of Jesus.

Continuing to pray for your mom, and for you.

Do you think she would have received your letter today?

I know the letter was delivered, but wether or not it got to her yet is another thing.


I just received the letter that was also sent to her...the one that has caused so much concern for me. Up until now, I had only heard someone else's version of what the letter said.

honestly, it's not good news...but not near as bad as what I thought it was. so I am hoping and praying that she will read this letter with understanding, and not let it get her down. I hope and pray that she reads it and knows that it does not mean "the end"...it just means that things might not go the way she hoped. but it does not mean that she needs to give up hope. there is still hope.

ok...i have probably really confused you all...and I am sorry. I appreciate all of the support, prayers, and encouragement from all of you. Not knowing the situation, it is probably hard to offer those things...but you have all been so kind...and very very sweet. thank you so so much!!!!

Mandee, I have been a little out of contact lately so I am just reading this. I will pray for you and your mom. I only know the little you have told me about your situation. Just know Big prayers are coming from Texas. Take care sweetie.

Mandee~ I know what the situation is with your mom, and whatever news she is getting, I just hope (sorry, I didn't have time to read all the way thru the posts) that you can get a letter to her overnight so she won't feel so alone. I know you really care about her and what happens to her, so I just hope she'll feel that support.....good luck and God bless you both!

Mandee,
How is your Mom? I hope she is doing OK!!

thank you so much for asking!! She is doing ok. Much better than I expected. I got a letter from her telling me how hard the news was for her, and that she wasn't sure if she was going to be ok...but she got my letter and she got a visit from the pastor that I called. She also got my ultrasound pictures. So all of those things, she said, helped her through. She had a rough couple of nights but after that, she started seeing things a little more clearly and was able to put some positive thoughts together and some ideas came to mind. So I think she will be ok. We are all trying to stay strong through this and realize that there is still a light at the end of the tunnel...it's just a little further away than we though. We will still reach that light!!!!!!!!

thank you to everyone for the prayers. I KNOW that is what has gotten us through this. She said to me that before she got my letter, she was praying and asking God to show her something. to Give her hope and strength. then that evening she got my ultrasound pictures and my daughters gymnastics pictures. Then the next day she got my letter. Then the next day she got the visit from the pastor. So she realized that God had sent her what she asked for. and THAT meant the world to her.

so again...thank you!!!! each and every one of you!! prayer truly works. and yes, it will be a long hard road for us...but we can do it!!!!!

HUGS!!!!!!!!

Oh, Mandee what good news. I'm so glad that all your correspondence and the visit from the pastor made a difference for your mom. Praying for both of you, the Lord will make a way,

Mandee, I'm just seeing this thread now. I'm glad to hear that your Mom is doing ok. :)

I'll pray for both of you, for God to give you the strength to get through these rough times.

Megan, thank you very very much!

I havent been on in a while and just seen this. YOu guys will be in my thoughts and prayers. Sometimes we may not always understand why we are going through certain things, but hopefully when all is said and done and things will be better and you'll understand why you went through all of this.

Continue to stay strong. May God be uplifting to you and your mom. The power of pray is amazing!!

Praying for her and you!!!

Mandee I just now saw this thread. I wanted to let you know that I am so glad that everything seems to have worked out for the best.
