My Dearest James,

-

It was such a short time that I have known you.  But from the minute I met you, I knew that I loved you!  All of your little quirks, I knew them all!  Each and every one of them made me love you even more!  I will never forget your sadness, as you told me how much you had missed your Mom.  We talked about it daily.  I know others sometimes got tired of hearing your stories of your Mom, but I never did!  I could tell how much you missed her and just wanted to be with her again:)

We talked about her being in heaven, and you kept telling me you wanted to join her.  I asked you if you had ever accepted Jesus Christ into your heart, and you said "yes".  Then I told you that by doing that, you would join your Mom someday.  You kept asking me when you could go.  I continued telling you that was up to the Lord, it could be years from now, or days....even minutes!  You kept telling me it wasn't fair, because you wanted to go now!

My dear sweet James, the Lord heard your cries.  He came swiftly and silently, taking you quickly.  I doubt you felt any pain...the Lord is sweet that way.  Now you are in heaven with your Mom:)  I'm so happy that you have finally gotten your wish!  But James, I have to tell you...I now know how you felt.  For I'm missing you, just like you missed her.  I will see you someday!  But I unlike you, want it to be awhile yet.  I have family to look after right now, and grand children to watch grow.  But always know, you will be in my heart until we see each other again.

*James was one of the people I cared for where I used to work. I learned a lot from him:)

My daughter Kimberly, my husband, and I went to Prairie Gardens a few months ago. We loved going through all the different tents full of flowers! My daughter and her husband just bought a new home, which is contemporary. We were looking for inside plants that would look good in her home. We came across an unusual plant she nor I had ever seen! It had "contemporary" written all over it! It was called a "Pencil Cactus". She and I fell in love with it! When we showed it to my husband, he turned up his nose at it and exclaimed, "You're not buying that thing are you?" My daughter and I said "why not?" He told us it was an evil looking plant! Hmmm , never heard of an evil plant before! His words resounded in my head days later. I helped my daughter load the plant in the cart, as it was about 3-4 foot tall, and it's pencils very slender. We didn't want to break it! As we put it in the cart, I noticed a sticky milky substance all over my han...

News media taking pictures, and interviewing people. Firemen on top of church next door, spraying the Inn with hoses of water. In this picture, you can see the whole back of the Inn is missing. If you look closely, that's the rear half of the roof slanting downward.

  James David (JD) May 4, 1962 through July 14, 2008 You are missed by your Father, Mother, Brothers,  Son, Daughter, Grand Son, Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins. We love you so much.... and always will.  The Lord called you home far sooner than we would like. He must have needed you:) As we know, this here on earth... is not our home. We will see you again, when it's our time to go to our REAL home. I bet you will be the first to greet us!  God bless you always, my sweet JD.... until then:).
