Guest guest Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 Darin & Janie, Your grief is real, and Scripture tells us it's healthy that you grieve. It's good for you. Jesus said, " Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. " [Matt. 5:4]. If we take God at his word, I believe this means you will be blessed because you have mourned. I wish I could tell you the how or the why or the when or the what of that blessing, but I can't. As hard as it may be sometimes, I encourage you to keep trusting in the Lord. When you struggle to find or keep that trust, tell Him. Talk to Him about it, and I believe He will show you how to keep trusting, to keep believing. He's done it before. You know, one of the stories I've always been most intrigued with is raising Lazarus from the dead. If you'll recall, both and Martha are grieving--crying. One of them even chews Jesus out, telling him " If you had been here he wouldn't have died. " Jesus's response? Jesus wept. He cried too. He mourned too. Just like you. He grieved with and Martha, and I believe He is also grieving with you now as you both go through this. The next thing that happens is Lazarus is raised from the dead. In the midst of his grief and despite his grief, Jesus calls Lazarus out of the tomb. I believe He has also called Katy out too, and maybe, just maybe one reason why you don't do tube feedings with her anymore, and you don't do therapy sessions anymore, is because she doesn't need those things anymore--and not because she has died but because she too is risen. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! [2Cor. 5:17] [ ] 6 Months ago I lost my angel It is 12:02 in the morning Sunday here in Dallas I can't sleep tonight is a hard nite for me. It has been 6 months the 26th since Kaltyn took her flight home to be with Jesus. Words cannot express the loss I feel. When you see me on the street it is as nothing has happened. It is amazeing how the flesh continues to go on. Though the heart is hearting so deeply. I miss the small things. Just cuddleing at nite beside her. The g-tube feedings. The sound of the puls ox going off. The crying out for attention she ofen did. The therapy sessions just waiting for that one special thing to happen. Changeing her diapers and whatching her get mad. These are small things to many but it was a part of my life for so long. I can't seem to get over trying to do these things still. I often find my self going ot the medcine cabinet or trying to go to the pharmacy for something. But then realize those day's are gone. However someone said something to me the other day and I thought about it. They said to me they were saddened that I didn't have a full life with Kaltyn. After I thought about it I realized they were wrong. See many times we have our children and there either at school or Grandma'sor college. See I spent 24 hours a day wiht Kaltyn for 6 years. If you add that up compared to what time others really have there children GOD gave me a full life with her just in a smaller amount of time. Where do I go from here is what I tell myself I cry daily tough you may not see me. I still want to hold her one more time. I try to remember did I tell her enough that I loved her. This has forever shanged my life. HBOT made the biggest impact on Kaltyns life. Dr. Neubauer and his staff gave me 6 ears when the Dr.s had given up and said 6 months. I will forever be greatfull to him and his staff. Regina I still remeber the day we left the clinic and she followed us to the van and cried as we pulled off after our last treatment of the first set She will forever be in our hearts and prayers where ever she is. I still rember how the staff loved us took care of us and treated us as if we were there own. I miss those day's.. I have the privlage of being at this years symposium. One that i feel will mean the most to me. Because now I can thank him with a better understnading of what he gave me him and his staff. Im a better person because of Kaltyn. I look back and there are so many I have offened over the years Hartsoe if your out there I do respect and love you deeply.. Ken locklier Same for you. Dave Snow we have only talked on line but I feel like I have said some things online I owe you a great apology for. Many of you. If I have offened you I apologize. Im here now on a mission to better this feild. I could have walked away the day this happened to Katy because my journey had come to a end. But no it hasn't. There was a reaso for Janie having to have a hysterectomy it is because we have a thousand children in the world that need us to continue to fight for them. Kaltys last words to me were. Daddy I taught you all I could teach you. It is up to you to finish the race. Many people I wish I could thank online but I can't the fear of leaveing someone out is to painfull. My life the last 6 months had been hell and Im sorry to anyone I ofended. If they only knew what I lost the 26th of January. I lost my life. Kaltyn was took away form me in 1998 when she was hurt at only 5 GOD spared her and I had a new child a special child. In January 26th I lost her again.I was very angry with God at that time and lashed at others. I have no excuse. A very wise man once told me to stop and look before speaking. Thank you Wally I have done that. Freel's you have been my strenght and spritual counsler over the last few years. You have made my life and this time of greiveing so much easier to bare. You have a way without saying anything to make a person feel good about themselves. Many times I call you not to talk really I make and excuse to call your wisdome is what Im looking for. I leave the phone after we talk with a new light in my candle. My parents and janies parents through the last few months have helped us in very specail ways. How I love our parents. My pastor Reverend Glenn Causey is really special to me as well. rouse with Crandall ISD and the staff there have been so awesome I owe you guys. Things you did for Kaltyn is over whelming. Sorry this is so long. But you guy's there was love beyond love with Kalty and me and her mother. She was our life. Still is today. Her room is still the same. Can't bear to change it I feel that she is not gone just working in heaven prepareing for our journey one day. Thank you all for listening and keep us in your prayers. As we will keep you all in our's. I do think of you oftne and wish I could one day make up for what I have done and said to you in the past. I feel your a good man and deserve more respect than I have given you. Ed Nemmeth saved you for last. You have a special anointing on you. GOD has used you in my life trmaindously. I will forever be greatfull.You may feel like it wasn't much or can' figure out what it was you said or did but you saved my life many times. Harch Thanks also. Many of you I owe thanks with a greatfull heart. Sinyard there are no words to express how I feel about you . You were god sent is all I can say. Love you all. Darin I thank God every day in remeberance of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
