My Gift
I have something I want to share with you tonight. Monday night was the TCF candlelight service in Kinston, NC. John and I attended. I spoke. Josh's best friend and his family attended also. They were there to remember Josh along with Megan which passed back in the summer. Jordie's (Josh's Best Friend)mom came in with a christmas gift bag. She told me this was for later. After the candlelight and tears falling she gave me the bag. I opened it and there was a memory bear made out of one of Josh's T-shirts that she had been holding on to for six years. That's not all. My message from Josh. The tag from the t-shirt was on the back of the bear and Josh had signed his name on the tag. Talking about tears flowing. So hard I could not speak. What a special gift. I will cherish it forever. Love you all

Wow, yippee for special gifts. Hugs and tears!
Yes I would love to see the bear too. Our candle light was on Sunday night and can\'t believe all the new faces. Also a Mom who\'s child had only been gone 16 days. We all gathered around her and shed her our love.
How very very special. I would love to see a photo of that bear. Such a thoughtful offering. Hugs, Peggy
Oh my gosh! That definitely is special. It is amazing how our kids manage to communicate with us.
Love and hugs, Marlene

What a wonderful gift! When Michael\'s b/f died (when they were 17 years old), I still had some things belonging to him. I have lost touch with the family but long to return them. I have not even been able to find them to tell them about Michael. This is a wonderful gift for you. Wow, our kids are certainly letting us know in so many ways that they are with us. Love you, dear Rhonda.
Oh Rhonda, what an amzing gift...Love and peace, Linda
