I am also blessed to have your family in my life. The few months I knew Derek placed him into a category of 3 other men who I have longed to become like (Derek, Andrew DiPastena, Jason Upton, Jesus). Walking through trials of my own while asking “why”, and believing on Him for healing, there are many times I think of how Derek would handle a situation. Like in WWDD form (what would Derek do?). It sounds silly I know, but I mean it.
I actually do this.

I cant help but be in tears right now thinking about you all.. How I long to be an integral part of your lives. In service of sorts… I know I can’t repay what you have done in mine, but maybe to offer true gratitude for changing me forever… I pray to have this opportunity some day..

Jesus, lead us… purify our hearts by giving us Yours.. help us to see Who You are and live for You in every way… without relent.

Love,
Jonah

Hi Loux family.

I have stumbled on your blog. In all honesty, not exaclty sure how I did. Other than I was looking at the Duggar’s and Bates “large” family sites. And yours seemed to somehow be in that mix. Yours also including adoption, and that peaked my interest.

I am a Jesus loving Mom of 4 from west coast British Columbia. :O) After reading thru the most recent entries I decided to go back to the begining of your journey on line and read it all.

So this is just a note of thanks for your transparancy and obvious love for the Lord. One can’t help but feel touched when reading your thoughts. And I am certain your words have been and will continue to be used for the good of his kingdom.

I came to the point of you sharing about your trip to Disney and then Hawaii. Knowing what was just around the corner, I found myself weeping and thanking the Lord for that gift of time given to your family. He is SO GOOD!!

My hubby and I, as mentioned have four amazing kids. We have said and I do feel. That I am done birthing children, but we are not done “having” kids. Your blog has continued to encourage me in seeking the Lord in what he has for us as a family in terms of adding children thru adoption.

I will check back from time to time, to see how the fam is doing. I have prayed for you all and will continue to do so as the Lord leads me and brings you to my mind.

Many Blessings
Dawn

Hi Ne, I just read this and started crying and grieving for you all, all over again. I just think of your family and the incredible love you all shared with Derek and I just break for all of you. I am so proud of all of you, how you walk through this day by day, never losing hope even on the hardest days! You a true Woman of Faith and your children too! You all love each other and Jesus so well!!! All my love, Linda xxoo

What a lovely thing to do together. I lost my father 2.5 years ago (he was only 57) and it stunned us to our core. I collected all the pictures of him that I could too, and we frequently look through that book.

About a month after he died I was building a fire at a girl scout camping trip, and it was very wet outside. We had left directly from school, so I asked my daughter if she could grab some paper for me to help get things going. I got very impatient because instead of just handing me a couple of sheets of paper she sat down and started writing. When I asked what she was doing she said she was writing granddad a letter. When she finished she balled it up and asked me to burn it. This has become a habit for my kids because they want to believe that since his spirit has gone on, the spirit of the letter will reach him.

There are still days I cry because I want to call him and share something with him that the girls have done. It doesn’t go away, but it does get easier when so many life things push you to move forward.

Best of luck on your new son.

Cheers arise from our house to yours. After a stop on Tim Cone’s site, we found ourselves here. You have our tears and our laughter and our sheer gratitude for all the beauty produced by YHWH in your house. May blessings abound in Yeshua – especially with your new little bruiser, Judah (bruiser being an affectionate (manly) term for awesome baby boys)!

I believe that He will heal many hurting hearts through your words and your life, lived out in love for Jesus. May God give you peace and strength beyond your understanding.

Blessings,
Sarah
