An Emotion Filled Day - Daddy's Perspective
Thank you so much to Brandy and Karen and Ian for coming and staying with Rebekah. She is doing so well with all the attention, getting wagon rides, enjoying company, etc. Unfortunately we are pumping her so full of lots of bad stuff! We just spent a little bit of time talking with Josh’s mom and it is tough what we have to do to these little kiddos to make them better. Speaking of which, Josh looks really good.
Maggie’s service was beautiful. There are so many emotions going through my head that I don’t exactly know what to write, and one of the emotions is that it is not appropriate for me to write much so I won’t, at least not here. My heart is flooding with things I want to put on paper (or the screen) but I just don’t know when and where it will/should go. When we left the service mommy wanted to go buy some “pretend makeup” to go in Rebekah’s empty purse. The last time Maggie spoke with Rebekah Maggie told Rebekah she needed “pretend makeup” for her purse and, when her hair grows back a “pretend curling iron.” Yes Maggie, Rebekah will hopefully get those things. Let me finish this subject for now with the finishing thought from her funeral. This life was unexpectedly short. No matter how old someone is when they leave us, that is always true. In this case it is truer than others.

I'm glad Rebekah seems happy today. I'm also glad that you were able to attend Maggie's service. She certainly has touched so many of us. She will be missed but think of her in the arms of Jesus, totally healed, no pain, loving everything around her. It doesn't take away the sadness, but it helps to ease it a little.....
I bet here services were beautiful.
I am sure are can not put rebekah down. we are still faithfully praying for you and your fam and josh and maggies family.
Continuing to pray-----His comfort for Maggie's family, His strength and rest for yours, a cancer-free Rebekah, no side effects from this round of chemo, OR family and friends to help you as they are able....love to all, Jodi
I continually pray that God holds you in His loving arms and gives you the strength and courage to face all that you are going through. I don't often comment, but know, that you are in my thoughts and prayers everyday. I never go to bed without reading your blog and praying for our sweet Rebekah. God is good His mercy is everlasting.

I am so glad you were able to go to Maggie May's service. I've read some of the comments on her site and it sounds like it was a beautiful service for a beautiful little girl. Both Rebekah and Maggie have me wrapped around their fingers and I've never met either of them :O) My little girl Cheyenne comes into the office every so often and says "Mommy, is that Rebekah? How's she feeling?" Then she tells me to blow Rebekah kisses from her....so...Rebekah...catch....there are smooches from lil' Cheyenne on their way. It may take a while to reach you from all the way in Illinois but they're on their way!!!! Smile beautiful and feel better soon!!! Katrina from Illinois
