I was wondering how Caleb and Elissa were doing so thanks for telling us.<BR/>Jamie, I was in tears as I read your post. I am glad you were able to greive your own loss of Nathan. I can't imagine how you are feeling right now with trying to look after the kids, walk with Eric and greive yourself. Wish I was there to give you a big hug.<BR/>I am glad Micah had those special times with Nathan. Trev's dad has cancer again and I don't know if his life will be shortened or not. If so I do hope that Isaiah will have some sort of memories of his Grandpa.<BR/>We are praying for you all.Trev and Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03255645425453462189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16956178.post-89706051099955740962007-08-11T13:50:00.000-07:002007-08-11T13:50:00.000-07:00Thanks for the updates.. im so behind on blogging....Thanks for the updates.. im so behind on blogging.. nice to catch up. hang in there.Dreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01277257029845662172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16956178.post-47289576640784603422007-08-10T21:38:00.000-07:002007-08-10T21:38:00.000-07:00Thanks for the updates Jamie.

There is such security in being real It was great to see you again yesterday, although in the same way, hard that my presence was there and not Nate's. <BR/><BR/>But I fell asleep with tunes of the "water song" and with a smile on my face thinking of Micah's entertainment. "I am a big strong man" What a character. <BR/><BR/>Your family has been such a blessing to me.

Amidst caring for your own family and being a support to Rosanna and Elissa especially, it is good for you to remember the special person Nathan was to you. The memories you shared, only a drop in the bucket, I'm sure, are so special. They must bring both tears and smiles. And, once again, Caleb is just SO cute! What joy he must bring!<BR/>We will continue to pray, and also praise God that He is answering the prayers already prayed.KDeeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203724639396280113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16956178.post-52078753015514462322007-08-09T12:29:00.000-07:002007-08-09T12:29:00.000-07:00I've never met you, but I can see that you are an ...I've never met you, but I can see that you are an incredible person, Jamie.

You have been so busy keeping everything together, looking after kids etc. and I am glad that you are taking the time to grieve Nathan's death. I can so relate to what you said about peace. Until we walk through the valley, that threatens to destroy us and consume us, we will never truly experience what "the peace that passes understanding really means" There is no pit so pit, that God isn't deeper still. The promise of heaven will be more real to you now, and your fmaily, than it has ever been. Jamie, you are a gift to your fmaily there. You have a compassionate and a servant heart. How I love you and miss you. love momKathy's cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04449493462946421087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16956178.post-28367637035093343742007-08-09T01:03:00.000-07:002007-08-09T01:03:00.000-07:00Jamie, thank you so much for all of your posts.

I can't believe that I missed two considering I was checking your blog many times a day hoping you would post but realizng realistically you couldn't. I do appreciate the updates though because I have been thinking about you all a lot. I connected with you when you mentioned Rosanna and grieving for her because it always seems as though the wife or husband get hit the hardest when in reality everyone who knew the person is affected, all in different ways. I didn't know Nathan all that well but he sure was an incredible man. All I thought about was Rosanna for the first week and then at the funeral tried to say something profound and couldn't say anything at all, I just hugged her and cried. <BR/>I will continue to pray for a quick recovery, smooth transition and a bed in Abby.<BR/>Thanks again. i love all of your photos.Courtney and Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508572608084953194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16956178.post-73904434846247815092007-08-09T00:17:00.000-07:002007-08-09T00:17:00.000-07:00Thanks for sharing so openly and honestly about yo...Thanks for sharing so openly and honestly about your lives and how you are processing things.
