MERRY CHRISTMAS AMY DAWN.

DADDY, ME, RICHIE, MEGAN, GRANNY AND POPS, UNCLE TEDDY, LEILA AND KORBI

AUNT SHERRY AND UNCLE TONY, AND ALL YOUR SMITH COUSINS, AND AUNT SUSIE

AND UNCLE MILT, LAURA AND JACKSON, AND JORDAN, THE HOARDS, BETTY JO

AND JOHN, GRANDMOTHER AND PAPA, AND ALL YOUR FRIENDS AT K MART THAT

LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH AND A HOST OF BEAUTIFUL BLOGGERS WHO WERE SO

KIND TO SEND YOU SUCH BEAUTIFUL CARDS, GIFTS, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY THE

MILLIONS OF PRAYERS THAT WAS OFFERED UP TO THE THRONE ROOM OF MERCY AND

GRACE. I MISS YOU SO MUCH MY LITTLE BUTTERFLY, I CAN HARDLY STAND THE

PAIN BUT JESUS IS KEEPING ME TOGETHER AND I KNOW YOU ARE LOOKING OVER

ALL OF US AND PRAYING FOR RESTORATION TO COME. ALWAYS REMEMBER WHAT

I TOLD YOU SO MANY TIMES.....IF I HAD GONE TO HEAVEN MYSELF I WOULD

HAVE PICKED YOU AND YOUR BROTHER IMMEDIATELY. YOU WERE ALWAYS MY

FAVORITE DAUGHTER AND RICHIE MY FAVORITE SON. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

PRECIOUS AND YOU ARE ALIVE IN HEAVEN WITH JESUS.....I SO WISH WE

COULD TALK AND YOU COULD TELL ME ALL ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY AND MEETING

JESUS, THE KING OF KINGS.

THERE IS A DEAR FRIEND OF BARBARA'S THAT HER HUSBAND PASSED JUST A

COUPLE OF HOURS BEFORE YOU. HE IS GREEK AND VERY FUNNY AND HE IS

CHEERING HIS WIFE ON EVERY DAY.

I WILL KEEP A LIGHT BURNING FOR YOU IN THE WINDOW. YOU WERE THE

LIGHT OF MY LIFE AND STILL ARE. YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. YOUR

COUSIN TJ WROTE YOU A VERY SWEET, HEART-FELT COMMENT THAT HE WILL

ALWAYS KEEP YOUR SPIRIT ALIVE AND TELL HIS CHILDREN ALWAYS ABOUT

YOU. DESTINY AND ISABEL LOVE YOU ALSO VERY MUCH.

DADDY FOUND YOUR PAINTINGS...IT WAS AS EXCITING AS WINNING A MILLION

DOLLARS......SO VERY BEAUTIFUL PRECIOUS AND I HAD FORGOT ALL ABOUT

YOUR NUMEROUS PAINTINGS.....I AM GOING TO TALK TO THE ART STUDIO HERE

ABOUT DOING A SHOWING OF ALL YOUR WORK AND SHARE WHAT A BRAVE

SOLDIER YOU WERE. I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHAT I FIND OUT PRECIOUS.

YOU WERE SO TALENTED PUMPKIN. I'M SURE YOU ARE TAKING CARE OF

ALL THE ANIMALS, AND PAINTING EVERY WHERE THAT JESUS ALLOWS YOU.

YOU WERE/WAS/ AND ARE STILL AN AWESOME DAUGHTER. NO WONDER JESUS

WANTED YOU TO COME HOME AND ALL THE OTHER PRECIOUS CHILDREN THAT

ARE SPENDING THEIR FIRST CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN AND OUR FIRST

CHRISTMAS WITHOUT OUR CHILDREN.

GRANNY ALREADY HAS YOUR CHAIR FIXED UP FOR DINNER TOMORROW.

YOUR RED COWGIRL BOOTS ARE HANGING FROM THE BACK OF YOUR CHAIR

THAT YOU ALWAYS SET IN..........IT IS HANGING FROM A BEAUTIFUL BOW.

THE LADY THAT MADE THE BOW ASK GRANNY WHAT THE BOW WAS FOR.....

GRANNY BEGAN TO CRY AS SHE TOLD ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY....THE LADY

GRABBED GRANNY AND SAID HER MOTHER, WHO IS 60 YEARS OLD IS BATTLING

THE SAME KIND OF CANCER.....SHE DIDN'T WANT TO BE SLICED AND DICED

THE WAY DR. MEDINA WANTS TO DO, EXCEPT FOR YOU IN AUGUST, AND HER

MOTHER REFUSED CHEMO AND DID JUST 30 RADIATION TREATMENTS....MY

HEART BLEEDS FOR THE BOTH OF THEM, AMY, AS YOUR JOURNEY WAS SO

VERY PAINFUL. SHE SAID SHE JUST HOPED THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO SPEND

CHRISTMAS TOGETHER. IT IS SO VERY SAD......THEN WE MET A YOUNG GUY

WHO BATTLED THE SAME CANCER AND HE WENT TO MD ANDERSON AFTER

DR. MEDINA WANTED TO CUT HIS FACE APART.....HE HAS SEVERE RADIATION

SCARS AND HIS NECK IS SUNK IN BUT HE MADE IT....HE SAID YOU HAD TO BE

ONE AWESOME LADY TO GO THROUGH WHAT HE HAD BEEN THROUGH.....250

POUND GUY AND HE LOST DOWN TO 98 POUNDS......I CAN'T SAY IT ENOUGH,

AMY DAWN HOW PROUD I AM OF YOU. I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH.

I AM HUGGING YOU REAL TIGHT.

THERE WAS A BEAUTIFUL LADY WHO GAVE PERMISSION TO USE THIS INVITATION.




I AM SO VERY SORRY I DON'T REMEMBER YOUR NAME...PLEASE LET ME KNOW




SO I CAN GIVE YOU CREDIT. I WAS LOOKING THROUGH MY GRAPHICS AND THERE WAS




THIS BEAUTIFUL BIRTHDAY CARD WITH A BUTTERFLY. IT IS THE BIRTHDAY




OF JESUS AND HE WANTS US TO COME UNTO HIM. A LITTLE BABY THAT WOULD




CHANGE HISTORY FOREVER....AND SUFFERED UNBELIEVABLE PAIN THAT WOULD




GIVE US ETERNAL LIFE WITH HIM FOREVER AND EVER.....A FREE CHRISTMAS




PRESENT, IF I MAY USE SOME CREATIVE WRITING HERE, 24 HOURS A DAY/ 7




DAYS A WEEK......YOU JUST HAVE TO BELIEVE. IF YOU ARE READING MY BLOG




AND YOU WANT TO GIVE YOUR HEART TO JESUS, JUST E MAIL ME AND I WILL PRAY




WITH YOU AND INTRODUCE YOU TO CHRIST. MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD IS




VERY PRIVATE....IT IS A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST ON A




DAILY BASIS.




HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS.



I LOVE YOU AND CELEBRATE YOUR BIRTH. WITHOUT YOU DEAR JESUS AND YOUR




WORD I WOULD NOT HAVE EVEN MADE IT TO THIS POINT. THANK YOU FOR




SENDING YOUR PRECIOUS HOLY SPIRIT AS A COMFORTER. THANK YOU LORD




FOR ALWAYS BEING THERE AND NEVER TURNING YOUR BACK ON ME.




I THANK YOU LORD FOR ALL THE PRECIOUS BLOGGERS THAT HAVE VISITED MY




BLOG AND I AM OVER WHELMED THAT ANYONE IS EVEN INTERESTED IN WHAT I




HAVE TO SAY.

I WAS SOOOOOO VERY EXCITED TO FIND THIS BOY ANGEL. IT IS A MEMORIAL FOR




JORDEN AND ANDREW AND ANY OTHER MALE THAT PASSED THIS YEAR.




JORDEN IS BECKY'S SON FROM SWEET COTTAGE DREAMS. SHE IS JUST THE SWEETEST




LADY YOU WILL EVER MEET AND BLOG WITH....SHE IS SO TALENTED AND WAS




RECENTLY A GUEST AT DAISY COTTAGE. A BEAUTIFUL ARTICLE.




ANDREW WAS JUST 12 YEARS OLD WHEN HE PASSED, ON DECEMBER 15, 2009.




MELANIE IS HIS MOTHER AND SHE HAS A BLOG THAT IS FULL OF INSPIRATION




AND FAITH. I PRAY FOR HER AND HER FAMILY...SHE WAS/IS A WONDERFUL MOTHER.




I WILL BE THINKING OF YOU ALL THIS CHRISTMAS MORNING AS OUR CHILDREN





ARE CELEBRATING IN HEAVEN, JESUS'S BIRTHDAY, FOR THE FIRST TIME AND OUR




HEARTS ARE SO BROKEN.





DID YOU EVER RIDE YOUR BICYCLE IN THE SNOW?

AMY WILL HAVE A WHITE MEMORIAL TREE THIS YEAR. IT WILL STAY UP FOR A

YEAR AND MAYBE LONGER WITH ALL HER FAVORITE THINGS HANGING FROM IT.

I CALL IT THE PEACE TREE AS THAT IS WHAT WE SO NEED AND IT IS SO HARD

TO FIND SOME TIMES. IT IS A WHITE TREE AND MY MOTHER BOUGHT IT AT

THE THRIFT STORE.

MOTHER'S TREE, (WHICH ISN'T LIKE THIS ONE), THIS YEAR IS CALLED THE HOPE

TREE BECAUSE EVERY ORNAMENT ON IT WAS BOUGHT FROM HOPE OUTREACH

COMMUNITY THRIFT SHOP....MY MOTHER HAS BEAUTIFUL ORNAMENTS FROM

YEARS PAST BUT THIS YEAR SHE NEEDED A HOPE TREE...WITHOUT HOPE YOU

HAVE NOTHING.

WHEN MY CAMERA DECIDES TO WORK AGAIN, I WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE SOME

AWESOME PICTURES.

THANK GOD FOR MOTHERS.

I LOVE YOU MOTHER AND DADDY BUT YOU, MOTHER ARE THE HEART OF

CHRISTMAS.

THIS LITTLE LIGHT/FLAME WILL BURN CONTIOUSLY FOR.....

1. AMY DAWN

2. JORDEN

3. STACEY......JUDY IN WEST VIRGINIA

4. AMBER...DONNA FROM SUGAR AND SPICE/ SOUTHERN LIFE

5. ANDREW...A VERY BRAVE SOLDIER WHO WON HIS BATTLE AND THE LORD

CALLED HIM HOME...NOW HE IS SKATEBOARDING IN HEAVEN.

6. SAM, I PRAY IS THE RIGHT NAME WHO WON HER BATTLE AND WAS CALLED

HOME.....SHE IS THE LITTLE NIECE OF EDITH MARIES/SHERRY'S BLOG. SO PRECIOUS.

7. ALL THOSE ON THE BLOG WHO HAVE HAD LOVED ONES PASS....WE SHALL REMEMBER

THEM ALWAYS AND NEVER FORGET WHAT A BRIGHT AND SHINING STAR THEY ARE.

AFTER CHRISTMAS I WILL PUT THEIR NAMES ON MY RIGHT SIDE BAR......BELOW A

CANDLE WHERE THEIR FAMILY WILL BE PRAYED FOR DAILY....IF YOU HAVE HAD A

LOVED ONE PASS AND WANT TO ADD THEIR NAME JUST LET ME KNOW

SUCH A WELCOME WHEN JESUS SAYS, WELL DONE MY FAITHFUL SERVANT.

I JUST LOOK AT THIS PICTURE AND CRY WITH JOY THAT ALL OUR CHILDREN

ARE SAFE WITH JESUS WITH NO PAIN, NO SADNESS, NO MORE TESTS, NO MORE

SAD NEWS OR TEARS.....THAT IS A WONDERFUL PRESENT TO A MOTHER.

I'VE LOST MY MITTENS...YOU NAUGHTY KITTEN

THIS IS THE NEWEST MEMBER TO OUR FAMILY. WE ONLY HAD TO BOTTLE FEED HIM

FOR A FEW DAYS. HIS NAME IS WALKER BECAUSE MY HUSBAND LITERALLY

PULLED HIM OFF OUR BRICK ON THE HOUSE AS OUR DOGS WERE BARKING AT HIM.

THEY GET ALONG SO WELL NOW THAT HE IS INSIDE. HE IS PRECIOUS AND SUCH A

JOY TO HAVE...EVERY TIME HE WAKES UP HE IS WIDE EYED AND READY TO EXPLORE

THE DAY. I AM TRYING TO TAKE LESSONS FROM HIM.

EACH DAY IS TRULY NEW AND A BLESSING BUT I STILL CRY FOR THE LONGING OF

MY DAUGHTER.

I TRULY WISH GOD'S BLESSINGS UPON EACH OF YOUR LIVES.




I THANK YOU FOR LOVING ME AND MY FAMILY DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME.




I TREASURE EVERY ONE OF YOU.

CHRISTMAS EVE IN THE MIDDLE OF A BLIZZARD WITH 57 MPH WIND GUSTS....

I WAS ONE OF THE IDIOTS THAT WENT SHOPPING AT THE LAST MINUTE

I SAID I WOULD NEVER DO THIS AGAIN. ( BRRRRRRBRRRRRRRBRRRRRR IT MADE

YOUR TEETH RATTLE.) BUT MORE THIS CHRISTMAS EVE

THAN ANY OTHER TIME I NOTICED THE ANGRY FACES AND SOME WOULD SCARE

YOU TO DEATH.....THE WORKERS, THE SHOPPERS....GRABBING AND PUSHING

AND HUFFING AND PUFFING. IT WAS RIDICULOUS HOW ADULT PEOPLE

WERE ACTING. BUT WE NEVER KNOW THE JOURNEY THEY ARE WALKING.

I KNOW IT WILL BE HORRID THE 26TH OF DECEMBER....PROBABLY DOWN RIGHT

SCAREY TO PARTLY DEADLY....LOL.

I ALSO WANT TO TAKE THE TIME TO THANK LYNN FROM PAINTING THYME

NEEDFULS FOR THE GORGEOUS MEMORIAL ORNAMENT SHE SENT TO ME FOR

AMY. IT IS A SNOW LADY SHE CREATED AND SHE IS JUST MAGICAL. I CRIED

OVER HOW KIND PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TO ME. THANK YOU DEAR LYNN SO VERY

MUCH...I WILL TREASURE IT FOREVER.

I WILL SEND PICTURES WHEN I CAN...MY CAMERA IS GIVING ME FITS.








MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE AND HAPPY NEW YEAR. I HOPE THIS





CHRISTMAS SEASON BRINGS YOU THE MIRACLE YOU NEED, GOOD HEALTH,





AND RESTORATION OF FAMILY AND FRIENDS. I PRAY ALL BROKEN HEARTS ARE

HEALED BUT THE NEED TO STAY CLOSE TO JESUS CONTINUES.
