Leaving in a matter of days.
I've haven't posted because I 've been ill.  My son Jake today admitted into LSU Oshcer's Hospital. This afternoon after running from my own Dr carrying Jake to be scoped. Praying that his is not cancer also. Jake has been battling Chronns disease and C.F..  He has been dealing with blockages and stomach pain.  Weight gain is slowly increasing. But he started throwing up again.  Praying his upper and lower tract is being freed from these painful uclers.   Tomorrow this scope will give us some answers.  My health also not as I wished.  So much to worry about.

We are down to just days.   And praying Jake is out before I leave to travel.  He will be with his Daddy and loving siblings as we traveled.  Older siblings taking shifts to help Dad keep the boat/crew at home okay.

Normally I focus on fundrausing but this week it was impossible.  Very soon it will be going on two years of paperwork, travel and worries.  We applied for grants and loans.  But still waiting.  Airline tickets purchased one way.  Now raising the funds for return tickets and a ticket for Gary to meet us during final week.

We will need his help coming home.  So please Jake is released and well enough by the time I depart.  It seems since November 2018 our lives have been in a roller coaster.  One mountain after another.  Broken leg, trees totaling our car, me getting Cancer, Gary bein injured, my brother passing, Jake being ill, the list of whoas never seem to end.
Please we need prayers in healing.  We need everyone around us especially pray for our son Jake.  And also Damien staying strong as we travel home.
I thank God for two special women who helped our children Chastity and Laura in helping wuth fundraising.  Marsha for driving us to the airport and picking us up.  Our many friends who donated and prayed.  And older children for caring for their siblings.

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 ...

Butterflies

Even old people get butterflies. As our newest little 9 year old points at the ceiling and out comes her first words in English to me. Butterflies Momma, Butterflies... In the dead of winter with temperatures of 20 below I stare at the ceiling.  Not thinking I look up. In the spilt second in time my mind wonders.  Even in an orphanage a child can have humor and imagination.  Maybe being caught off guard or in the moment it makes a person think. On the outside of this old worn out building a few dying bushes.  And from the street it looks like any other old building. The caregivers and other children inside are the only family they had for years. This is the only place our children knew as home. I love spring and soon butterflies will fill the air.  Maybe the Windows will open and a few of these fragile flying angels  will fly inside.  For many of these children seeing a butterflies will be only through a panel of glass. This year marks 2...
