My little cousin has battled with leukemia for 1 1/2 years now. This morning, she got home ahead of us, and is now safe in the arms of Jesus. It’s not hard to imagine her being scooped up in Isaac’s arms as well, and hearing his gentle words, “Hey, what’s going on, little girl? Who are you?” I wonder what he’ll say when he finds out that Janelle’s big cousin was sort of his big sister. I bet he will keep tabs on her just because…
Once again- joy and pain so closely intertwined, they are one…
Please pray for Janelle’s Mommy and Daddy and her brothers and sisters who love and miss her so much (Darren, Rodney, Becky, and Sherilyn).
Oh Leeny! (((HUGS))))
Tears are just streaming down my face. I am so glad I do not have to understand the why of all this. We have a God who does and we can trust Him.
I never knew you but I love you, little Janelle!
Praying for the Fehrs during this time.
Leeny, I can’t express in words right now what my heart feels for you, and their family. My prayers and love are with you though….
Thanks Leeny, I don’t think it was really real to me that she was actually that sick and died. Those pictures are so sweet, they just make me cry. You can pray for me this week. Nelson left this evening and will be gone all week again. It looks really long and lonely to me! I love you and miss you! your sis, Amy
Hi, Leeny, nothing like sitting at the library bawling my eyes out. Thanks for posting that slideshow. Like Amy said, it seemed so unreal and far away, now I just imagine myself watching my little girl die and it tears me up… Love you much….
Dear sweet Leeny,
Another precious soul has burst into overwhelming delight that never ends. Oh the light that must glitter in her eyes as she discovers the countless joys of heaven! And yes, I am sure that Isaac has swung her up on his shoulders, held tightly to her small hands and has gone running through the rolling fields of wildflowers, with the wind tearing at their hair. The glittering brooks, the breathtaking sunsets, the deep caves with all their mysteries and the mountain tops with their overwhelming views… What fun they must be having!
And how much longer till we may join them?
May God comfort your heart, as well as those of her dear family.
I sit here sobbing as I wrap my arms around my own little 3 yr. old girlie. Makes me so homesick for heaven…voices of loved ones there are calling to me. God’s ways are far above our ways.
