I sincerely want to thank you for all your kind words and prayers for my niece and sister on the loss of 8 year old Thomas.
I read each one of them, and someday, when the time is right, I will show them to my niece and sister.
I told my sister how many people were praying, and your prayers meant so much to us.
I was so touched by your kind words, and expressions of sympathy and friendship.
I leave you with this thought.
The recessional for Tommy's funeral was "This Little Light of Mine."
Each time you light a candle, say a prayer for those who are suffering the loss of loved ones... the loss of a child is such a test of faith.
Again, my heartfelt thanks, you are the best!
The link for Let's Dish will be open at 7 PM if all goes well.
My new computer was installed and I am having a terrible time. I was on the phone for 2 hours with DELL as it wasn't loading.
Don't even get me started on where all my pictures are!
I have been unable to load Live Writer, I keep getting a message ...unable to connect to a remote server. I googled it and did what they said, but no luck.
If you use Live Writer, you can never go back to Blogger to blog, the difference is astounding.
So if anyone has any hints for me regarding Live Writer, please let me know.
So sorry. What a difficult time. Thankfully you have prayers and faith to guide you.

I wish I could help with computer problems, I barely get by here. I am still sending prayers to you and your family, Kathleen. I have no words at times like these. All we can do is band together, have faith, and pray. xo
ReplyDeleteThank you for up dating us on the sad loss of your nephew! I didn't leave an earlier comment but showed it to my husband and we both are praying and our thoughts are with you and your sister and the family. The loss is so great and words don't even cover the wish of giving comfort to your family! We will continue our thoughts and prayers and may God grant you peace. Just give yourself and your sister hugs from us for we care about your family.
ReplyDeleteSincerely, Pam and Bert
Kathleen, good to hear from you. I know your heart is heavy. I continue to keep all of you in my heart and thoughts.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear your new computer is adding to your stress. Hopefully it will all be resolved soon.
Hugs to you, sweet friend.........Sarah
Just catching up. God bless and keep and comfort your family.
ReplyDeleteI will light a candle tonight for Thomas and his family. My heart breaks for them. Sending love and prayers. Good luck with your computer. Frustrating. I am sure you'll get the hang of it quickly.

What a sweet song choice...one of the first songs most children learn. When my mother died, I was so shocked and honored by the prayers that came from so many people I had never met, from all corners of the country and even out of the country. Bloggers are such kind people. I'm still praying for your family.
ReplyDeleteKathleen, you and your family have been on my mind and remain in my prayers. When I read about the choice of songs, I just couldn't help tear up. The loss of a child is the ultimate loss. Know you are in my prayers and postive thoughts.I know what you mean about Livewriter. Just the thought of having to use blogger to write posts would make me want to quit blogging!
ReplyDeleteI am still praying for the whole famly. That is so so sad that this little one is gone from this Earth. I hope you can get your computer problems straightened out- God bless you- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteOh Kathleen, we all have been so concerned about your entire family! I am still praying that God will give all of you the strength you need to get through this terrible time.
ReplyDeleteI've kind of left you alone this week knowing that you would be busy with family. Don't think for a moment, though, that out of sight meant out of mind. I just feel so deeply for your sister and your entire family. Such a devastating loss! I was listening to a song by Train called "Calling All Angels", and it made me think of little Thomas. There's a line in it that says, "I want a reason for the way things have to be, I need a hand to help build up some kind of hope inside of me." I think it's talking about how we ask God why these things happen and to strengthen our faith in his judgment. I don't know....it's hard no matter which way you turn it. God bless you all, Kathleen.
ReplyDeleteWe will never know the reasons why these things happen, but we have to have faith. We can pray and ask God...He can say yes, no, or I have something else planned. They are strong in their faith, and that is a blessing.
DeleteJust checking on you, and I was glad to find your post. My heart hurts for you and yours. Praying that God will pour His mercy, blessings, and peace on your family as you tread this hard path. Love, Cherry Kay
ReplyDeleteKathleen, I'm still praying for Thomas' family. I can't imagine the loss of losing a child and my heart is with them as they press on. Peace, love, prayers, hugs and blessings are sent across the miles. xo
ReplyDeleteI think that song was a perfect recessional and reminder to all who loved him that his little light is STILL shining, whether we see it with our earthly eyes or not. I have lifted his mother and grandmother and family for that peace that passes understanding.
ReplyDeleteYour family remains in my thoughts and prayers, Kathleen.
ReplyDeleteXO,
Jane
You and Tommy's family have been heavy on my heart. Prayers have been sent for comfort and peace. I know your heart, we lost our nephew just 4 short years ago. Luke 20:36: For they cannot die anymore, because they are equal to angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. xo marlis
ReplyDeleteHi Kathleen! Just prayed for you and your family by name tonight for continued peace and comfort that only the Lord can provide! Hope your computer troubles are resolved soon... I know how frustrating that can be! Hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteOh Kathleen, I'm speechless. I'm so sorry for you & your family. I can't imagine the pain your neice is feeling right now. I will keep all of you in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteKathleen, The loss of a child is devasting to a family. Faith in God is what keeps the family going and the love of family and friends. It's not an easy road to recover and I suspect Thomas's parents never will. They will continue to need to guidance and comfort of their God and family.
ReplyDeleteI know Maureen, it is true. It changes your life forever.
DeleteThey will always need our prayers, and support.
Kathleen, I'm so very sorry to hear of the loss of Thomas. Please know my heart and prayers go out to you and the family. May God bless you during this time in your lives, and always.
