Angela and Deanna, I lost two children; one miscarriage and one after only 18 months of life. The first was in 1979 and the second was born Aug. 1985. They watch over us daily. I have no doubt of that.

I have such peace right now. It takes courage to share so many personal emotions and challenges with virtual strangers, which tells me that this is a very accepting and loving group of people. I know that I am in the right place, and it took a little dog, which isn't even in my home yet, to lead ME. I know already that God Himself has led me to Greta. I intended to get a different dog, but Greta chose me. I am also getting a second chi, but he/she hasn't let me know which one yet. I too, have been through several storms. I have seven children and three little miscarried saints in heaven. The oldest,Felicia, 22, has been through her own intense struggles and she is currently living about 1 and half from hours us, but light years away from God and the faith. The next oldest daughter,Trisha, 20, is also using her Will to bulldoze through life, but she is still living at home and attending Mass and sometimes participating in family prayer when she is not at work. The next daughter, Kimberly, 17, is a great joy and consulation. She is in her 11th year homeschooling (which I have only been h/s'ing for going on 14 years) and she is so very patient (most of the time) <smile> and helpful. She desires to be a nurse and is determined to pursue her dreams. The next, my only son, Matthew, is 11 and is currently battling asthma and really bad nightmares. He is a delight and eager to learn, if you can get him to sit still for three minu tes at a time. He is currently in 5th grade. The next, another girl, Hannah, 9, is a very complacent child. Truly a peace maker. The only issue is she takes after her father and 20 yr old sister, and she hides her emotion, she seldom cries or expresses anger or even disappointment. I wonder if its because I and the 17 yr old cry at the drop of the hat (smile). She learns quickly and she is willing to try anything, she is in 4th and struggles some with reading. Next, 6 yr old spitfire girl! Sarah is not afraid to express her views, no matter what! She is funny and has a belly laugh that shakes the whole house! She has some learning disabilities but she marches on with cheerfulness. Lastly, baby girl Chloe is three. She is certainly the most fearless yet most loving child I ever raised. One second she is trying to fly off of the top bunk, the next she is cuddling in your arms and giving big kisses. She loves, loves, loves, all animals and that is why she will NEVER be left alone with any little chi. She is loved and adored and spoiled by everyone else! I am a catholic convert of 12 years. I was raised by single mother after my parents divorced when I was eight. My father was a child molester but the only one who believes me is my older sister, because she too, was molested. I have a younger brother who has been in and out of mental health hospitals since he had a brain cyst removed six years ago. My older sister has dabbled in withcraft and some voo-doo. My mother claims she believes in God, but has never been baptised and does not attend any church anywhere, I based on her life, I'd say she does not pray. She attacked my family for years once we started homeschooling and then converted. She now understands and even supports homeschooling, most of the time, but even though she has attended some Masses with us, she has no real tolerance for our beliefs. Dear husband is my hero. He is my best friend and soul mate. We almost divorced when I wanted more than three children and again, when I started going to church. Since then, he has had quite a God given change of heart. He is very pro-life. Even though he is 49 and I am 42, he would welcome more children if I was able to have them). He loves God and is learning to trust Him a little more everyday. He is the sole provider for our family and he works very hard, getting up at the crack of 3:00 AM every weekday. That is why he is ready for bed most nights by 7:30 While he isn't a gushy animal lover, he is in full agreement of getting the little chis for his wife. Sorry so long, just a little background info for you all. Oh, husband's side of family are pretty much done with us, since I'm a catholic, homeschooling stay at home mom who has had more than the acceptable two children like they all had. So, without God, my husband, and now, hopefully the liitle dogs, I would be without much support at all. Thank you all so much. I hope I haven't worn out my welcome already.
