My Sweet Evan

My Sweet Evan
On my way from Heaven



God delayed my trip that day



He said that I was special



and then sent me on my way



but not before he kissed my ears



He left his Blessed mark



to carry with me here.



He whispered in my ear right then



that he loved me without a doubt



and then he closed my ears up tight



so the whisper won't get out

The Impossible is Happening

Matthew 17:20-
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and NOTHING shall be impossible you.

When I opened Evan's medical fund account on January 30th I felt soooo defeated. I thought that raising the funds for Evan's surgeries were impossible. Well, God has really showed out. This community has stepped forward and delivered the impossible. Everyday I have cried (everyone that knows me knows that I am a big baby anyway) and the tears are tears of joy. I want everyone to know that Evan's garage sale this past weekend was a big hit. We made over $13,000.00. We could not have done it without this community and all of my friends who helped make it happen. If you have ever had a garage sale you know that it takes alot of work and lack of sleep. So, for those of you out there that helped, attended and donated we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Tonight, I read the book "All the way to God" to Evan and Aiden. It is by Katie and Michael Guiliano. Basically Katie is a little girl who plays a game with her dad about how much she loves him. They start off by saying "I love you all the way to the ceiling. The book is wonderful and in the end Katie tells her Dad that she loves him all the way to God.
And that is exactly the way we feel about each of you :)
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE IMPOSSIBLE HAPPEN FOR EVAN. WE NOW HAVE HIS FIRST SURGERY PAID FOR!!!!! MY BABY IS GETTING HIS FIRST EAR! YEA!!!!

    Praise the LORD!!! He is SO good to us all! I read that book to my son, Luke. Then we got to telling each other, "I love you all the way to God." One time when I said it, Luke looked at me puzzled and said, "But that's not very far, Mommy." I said, "Sure it is! It's like all the way to Heaven..." He said, "Well, that's different. But if you love me all the way to God, that isn't far because He's right here in my heart." I'll never forget that! So happy for Evan! Can't wait to photograph his new ears!!!
