Clocks a ticking

Down to just days to purchase our airline tickets.  Our thirty days are up on April 16th. This means children are ready to leave and us to be there.

Currently I am trying hold iff on surgery fir myself till children are home.  Cancer was not in our plans nor anyone person.  I cried when I watch my first husband slowly die of Cancer.  My plans are to beat it so I can raise our children.

I am just very thankful it was not my child or a friend's child.  I've been ill before but not like this.  Makes a person open their eyes even wider about how easily we tend to place our own needs last.  As parents we stop for our children needs and most times it takes an illness to make one stop.  Seldom do I get ill.  I am a giver, protector and the person that is always there for others.  Seldom I ask for help or need it. 

Both Gary and I are harder workers and stretch ourselves.  Many days and nights we sail by one another in shifts with our children.  Parenting a child with special needs can be hard some days.  Many sleepless nights, countless medical appointments, therapies and medications.  Not a day off did we not appreciate or give thanks for.  Finally when we get everyone's health on good grounds dang if I do not get ill.  Not just ill but something I can not fix. I'm bad about trying to fix things but sometimes God has other plans.  Maybe his way of just slowing me down a bit.  I've had many hard times in my life. Losing my mother, husband Tim, our twins and my Gennie-beanie.  Like the little train that could I kept moving along little by little.

On the 26th of April anniversary of Gennie-beanie earning her wings.  I miss her dearly.  Everything about her I miss ❤.  So happy I know I will hold her and see her again.  Such spunk in such a tiny little soul.

Praying we have enough funds shortly and our new passports arrive so we can travel. But right now we need enough funds for airline tickets and right at 6,000 short for tickets and incountry travels. Both these children are worth way more than this.  I've prayed and prayed for a miracle.  I know our Lord will guide us over this big mountain if worries.  Please again share our children so we can raise these funds.

Father's Day

With everything happening I did not know what day it was. Whether it was Saturday or Sunday.  Sitting calculating funds and mark off the day till Wednesday. The day we find out about our children's passports. Our Gotcha Day was rushed.  What was suppose to start with paperwork on a Monday went to Wednesday which caused us delays getting home. The system here is totally a mess. They deliver passports only one day a week to Donetsk.  Then they will be forwarded to Kiev.  Even expedited they are delayed.  A country of unexpected issues or problems.  Children lay dying when families are available.  Funds stand in the way even when a family saves for 5 years still they are short.  Without the love and support of others. Being short of funds not just my biggest worries.  Children at home needing their mom.  A young boy who had been through so much anger and abuse.  Eleven years to work on.  Erasing the nightmares of prior medica...

No words

There are just some days where there are no words that can  take away from pain and heart ache. This pass week we were robbed, our precious cat got ill, once again funds lost.  Still we are blessed.  A neighbor is killed by two young man breaking into a neighbors car, a man loses his girlfriend and his unborn son a day before his child is delivered.  My friend's baby girl has open heart surgery and she waits outside the recovery room, a baby boy takes his last breathe and my son struggles to live another day. Very hard to understand why bad things happen to good people and little children.  A 14 year old girl with a headache dies within three days of being diagnose with a rare form of cancer.  Her mother struggles to understand why her daughter had to be chosen to earn her wings.  So much potential, and such a beautiful young woman with the kindest heart.  Today I watched as my 5 year old daughter looks into a mirror and then ask if her doctor ...

UPDATE ON OUR JOURNEY

What a day, after a long night drive to get our fingerprints done.   And six hours in a car with your hubby gives you plenty of time to catch up talking about things that we need to be completed before we travel.  We had stopped for a while to get some diner and as we went to check out the man sitting behind us had paid for our dinner.  The odd thing he never said anything to us, he only kept waving at Jake and smiling.  Jake is JAKE, you don't even have to know him without falling in love with him.  Jake is non-verbal but always smiling and giggling.  Our family is so proud of Jake he is a fighter.  Jake 5 years ago weighed under 15 pounds at age 5 and a half years.  Now barely weighting 48 pounds and turning 10 march 1st.  A child we were told would died within six months after adopting sits smiling and laughing.  Daily he struggles with his Cystic Fibrosis.  Jake's major issues are his digestive system where he can not absorb the...
