Hi,
I found your site on another one. I'm so glad that you found the book and
that it was a comfort to your soul. Thinking of you!

Jessica ~ I found your site through another. I have that same book on
my bookshelf, have had it for many years and never read. I'm honestly not
sure why I bought it. After my mom died (nearly 20 years ago) when I was 12,
she would often "check in" on my sister and I who shared a bedroom. I
totally believe in these "visits" from loved ones. I think they check on us
as much as they give us comfort. I always felt safe knowing that Mom still
checked on us at night. I pray that you continue to find comfort in your
journey.

Hi Jessica,
I think it is wonderful that you are sharing your complete experience with
all of us. As for being a "nutcase"... I have never had anything as REAL
happen to me as you have, but I have always been confident that there is
another life coexisting (so to speak) among us. Maybe you and I and some
other "nutcases" can have some out-there conversation in Orlando. And should
you need a little Hurler lovin', Edie is always up for attention. I'm really
looking forward to meeting you.

Dear Jess,
I'm kicking myself for not writing this sooner but the day I wrote to you
about looking over your pages, I did notice the rainbow and thought you had
so perfectly captured that spiritual moment within Kaity's page!!
I couldn't get over how perfect every little thing was on it!!
I am so glad that you found that book and it opened that door. I hope you
can now feel the peace you felt the day Kaity gained her wings!

Only Two more weeks and that will be a real HUG!!!!

You are an amazing woman/mom. I think we all could benefit emotionally
and spiritually from taking the time to look and listen to life. We're just
so rushed and stressed that it usually doesn't happen. Thank you for
reminding us and enlightening us to slow down and enjoy the Peace and Hope
that is sent to us from Above. We can all sure use it...love to you! kle

truely believe everything happens for a reason, like you finding that book.
Kaity is letting you know she loves you very much, as much as you love her,

Dear Jessica,
When we arrived in Durham shortly after Caterina's diagnosis, a distant
friend suggested I contact a lady who believes she has had contact with
those who have gone. At the time I had no idea that she had these
"abilities". I spoke to her extensively and she gave me alot of strength.
She has a book which I will recommend- "Beyond these Four Walls" by Mary
Occino. After reading your journal entry, I could not help but think that
you would enjoy it very much. It talks alot about the significance of
dreams, particularly as she strongly believes and has experiences that she
feels prove they are communication from loved ones who have gone. Your entry
really touched me. I am sure Kaity is sending you messages. I am so happy
that you found the book you did, and that you are seeing such sings. I think
you would enjoy Mary's book... She is a very spiritual lady, and has
wonderful thoughts about our lives. Just a note to let you know I can share
your visions and I believe everything you are saying to be true. You are
blessed! I think of you often. The butterfly sleeps above Cati and my bed
every night. With love,
Claudina

Just stopping by to say hello and hope you're doing well. I know you
miss Kaity! I love the information on her Star. We have recently been
educated about the night skies, stars and constellations...we took Hannah to
the Morehead Planetarium here at UNC-Chapel Hill - since Lindsey is
hospitalized here. She loved it (and so did we). We found out all about
Orion the Great Hunter. I can't wait to show Hannah Kaity's webpage and her
star. Take care...kle

Jessica, I live in a rural area and am so excited to know that Kaity's
star is part of Orion. It is one of the consulations that I can find on my
own, I can't wait to see it tonight. I hope it brings you happiness to know
Kaity's star is shining down on you.

Hello Jessica - I have taken oh maybe 3 months to work up the courage
to read your journal. Your thoughts and emotions felt as if they were my
own. I have wanted to read your journal and be supportive with a post and
then would find myself overwhelmed with the emotions that I know you are
feeling. The road in front of you is ever changing. For some reason we are
always looking for answers to questions - we walk each day and wonder if our
friends and family are going to question what are you going to do next? How
are you doing? I perhaps have not been able to post because the journey
after a loved one or child passes is painful. Knowing your path personally -
I was worried you would read between the lines of my post I was worried that
your insightfulness would recognize words for just words and see other
emotions attached. The loss of my family to illness is one difficult blow -
but I have also lost 2 children in miscarriages - one late into the
pregnancy - I cannot explain to you the well of emotions that surround me
when I watched my child with no breaths to be shared here on earth.
The journal you keep for families to share - allows those that wish to
support and understand the path you have traveled feel closer to you and
closer to an understanding of Kaity and her life with MPS. I am happy that
there are families finding comfort from your words. I am more happy if the
words you write are bringing comfort for you. If your words are slowly
bringing you on a path of answers to where next in life you will be found
then that brings happiness too.
You mentioned to the Pastor, "I just made the Best of It" -how simplistic it
sounds and still very profound. If we did not make the best of it - our day
would be so very very dark.
For tonite - this tired soul wanted you to know that your wonderful gift of
words and unconditional caring have been heard through your posts and
throughout your journal.
Thank you for sharing - thank you Kaity for letting me share my tears over
your story. May God give both of us mothers the continuing light of hope and
belief.

Jessica - Just keep praying for God to show you where He wants to use
you. It will come. Not in your time, but in His. I will continue to pray for
you to seek His will and to know when He is speaking. Jeremiah 33:3 says
"Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things,
which you do not know."

daughter. I do feel your sadness...and I felt the joy you shared with Jenn
and Alli. Rest easy tonight...I know that time is so hard to let move and
take you forward. Alli talked to me on the phone today. She would not talk
to me for two days!! She was so proud of her pink fingers AND toes!!! What a
cutie (but then what else would a grandmother say??)

Hi Jess, (((Hugs and Kisses)))
I just wanted to let you that I enjoy your journal entries each week, and
sure wish we lived closer to each other. I don't work per say a 9-5 job, and
I could really help you stay busy taking care of yourself and others. :-) As
for school, just maybe that would be good. Something new for 2005. Also I
wanted to let you let know that Sunday this past week while working at the
Farm, I had 3 of the prettiest lady bugs settle down on me while I was
outside finishing my work. All within 2 minutes or less of each other. Who
did I think of first? None other than Kaitybug! All I could do was smile,
then think of you!
I am looking forward to seeing you at the Conference! I will be keeping you
in prayer that you find comfort, joy and motivation when it seems not to be
there!
Love you Jess, ((hugs))Thanks for the Forum and bringing so many people
together for such special times.

Just stopping by to let you know I was thinking about you. I enjoyed looking
at all the pictures of the walks. Thank you for sharing them. I too have
been a little down lately, getting all the test results back and seeing how
much Andrew's MPS has progressed. I get a little happier thinking about
Disney in 6 weeks. It always makes me happy to meet other families. Can't
wait to meet Miss Smiley. Thank you for sharing your sweet Kaity with us.
