We all go through "stuff" and sometimes just being able to ask for prayers or positive thoughts can be comforting. If anyone has any requests, maybe we could share them with each other and offer that little bit of comfort.
I would like to start and ask for thoughts or prayers for one of my high school best friends. Her mom died this afternoon and she hasn't said what the determination for why it happened was, but it was sudden and unexpected and her family is hurting and any comfort it might bring to have people praying or sending positive thoughts would be very appreciated.
Its an emotional day for me and my loved ones as well today!
Its now been 8 years today since my dad has left us! He is greatly missed and we never get used to the void left behind by a pillar when its gone! Estoescialy when its your #1 confident and advisor about everything! we feel it even more on bad days when we sure could use his moral support and advice!
And to think that my pops used to hate the number 17...I remember how happy he was 13 years ago on a 17th when his first grand child was born! The very first 17th that was positive in his life. 17 was his 13.
Surely enough, 5 years later on 17 April he was hospitalized, only to pass away exactly a month later on 17 May 2008!....I now dislike that 17 too!
A litlle positive energy goes a long way people, spread the love around, our Earth and its residents needs it!
You don't have a soul. You are a soul, you have a body!
That is a wonderful idea Glencairn! I'm sorry for your friend's loss, and for yours too Teye. I believe our thoughts and emotions-positive or negative- become energy that has a 'ripple' effect, so I am sending positive energy to both requests!
Thank you for the thoughts and prayers for my friend. Nugget, I like the way you describe it as a ripple effect. That is a really good description of it.
Teye, you were in my thoughts today. Your family, too. Anniversaries of loved ones passing are hard and I hope that you know that your online family here were with you in thought.
If you guys could offer some prayers or positive thoughts for my cousin's grandson that would be wonderful. Her daughter went in to check on the baby and he was blue-ish and unresponsive. Her son-in-law was able to revive him and he was quickly gotten to the hospital. The doctors said that it was a SIDS attack/episode as well as having two mini-strokes and multiple seizures. He is expected to make a full recovery, but is still in the hospital being monitored. He hasn't had any more strokes or seizures, but I'm not sure how long they will want to continue to monitor him.
If you could keep my cousin's grandson and their family in your thoughts and prayers, they would really appreciate it.
Baby Dragon (his nick name) has had the EEG removed and they are decreasing his oxygen so that he can start breathing on his own more. He is slowly improving and hopefully the progress will get faster and better.

This is good news Glencairn, Hope he get back on top and fast! still sending lots of love & light his way!

Some good news and another prayer/thoughts request. First, the good news. My cousin's grandson got to come home from the hospital today. He is only 2 months old, but will need to start physical therapy and the doctors still believe that he will make a full recovery. It was suggested to baby Dragon's parents that they should look into getting a seizure detection dog, so they are seeing what is involved in that. Still a long recovery ahead, but he is at home with his mama and daddy and they couldn't be happier.
The request is for a local family. I don't know them, but they lost their son tonight. About 4:45 this afternoon I heard every emergency vehicle in town fire up the sirens and roll out. I didn't know what was going on until later. Russ called on his way home from work about 2 1/2 hours later to let me know he was going to be a few minutes longer getting home because there was an accident and the main highway was closed and detoured and the detour was a bit out of the way. He said that it was a semi vs. car head on collision, but he didn't know any other details. Then shortly after that Facebook lit up amongst local friends and quite a few of Dillin's (Quin's boyfriend) classmates posting messages to the siblings and parents of the boy who was killed. Quin and Dillin didn't know him, but he did go to their school not too long ago. They believe that the boy was a year or two older than Dillin who is only 18. There was another person who is in critical condition, but I don't know who and if there has been any update on their condition.
So, I don't know the boy who died or his family or who the person in critical condition is, but I know that the family is hurting so badly and many of the kids friends who knew the boy and his family are also hurting right now. If you could offer a thought or prayer for them, thank you.
Glencairn,That is so tragic; parents weren't meant to outlive their children..... My heart goes out to all who are hurting.
I'm glad to hear Dragon is doing better and got to go home! I have wondered......did he by any chance receive his first series of vaccines before he had this medical crisis? (If too personal, just ignore the question.)
I don't know if he had his first set of immunizations before this. Maybe? I assume he had the ones that they give at the hospital when the baby is born because they pressure parents to get them. I didn't experience it 16 years ago with Quin, but I have heard in conversations about other friends who were just asking what all of the shots were and what they are for and they were being treated like they were abusing their new baby or something just for asking questions. In regard to my cousin's grandson, I don't know if he had them or not.
Yeah, I am hurting for those parents. I am terrified of sending Quin out driving on her own and that accident yesterday didn't do anything to calm those fears.
Glencairn ,They're giving vaccinations to brand new babies? Injecting newborns with MSG,mercury and formaldehyde??
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but your fear of Quin driving isn't something likely to go away in your lifetime. As a mother, I still worry about my children being in the wrong place at the wrong time when they're on the road....
Hey guys, if you could keep Russ and his family in your thoughts and/or prayers I know they would appreciate it. Russ got a call from his mom tonight about 10 pm or so letting him know that his grandma had an incident today and was in the hospital and they didn't think she was going to live much longer. His parents are planning to head down to where she is in the AM. Then about 11:30-ish his mom called back and said that the hospital doesn't think that she has much more than an hour or so. His mom was going to call again in the morning, so I won't know any further details until then. This is Russ' mom's mother and they are hurting really badly right now. If you could keep them in your thoughts, I would be very grateful.
Russ' grandma passed at about 3:30 am. Russ has had a really hard time with it today and his family is also hurting. His mom just lost her mother and it hurts that there isn't anything we can do to ease her pain. Please keep them in your thoughts.
