Kim,
I am stunned. I hope you get to get some information from them. At least some peace about his life.

[SuddenlySusan]

Wow! Kim, that is so incredible! How are you doing after finding this new connection to your son... his godparents! Utterly amazing!

Thinking of you...
Susan

Kim, it does somehow seem like a gift from God.

Wow. That's all I can say. Wow.

I think there's a gift in this somewhere.

Kim, it sure sounds like God has wrapped His arms around you in your time of grief. When I read about your son's godparents coming up to you after Mass, it made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. What a blessing!!

Thanks for sharing the amazing update with us! I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers...

[bromanchik]

That is beautiful and amazing! Did you guys talk?

[kdecrow]

Just a quick update....I spoke to the Godparents at Mass again Sunday...Just kept it brief and polite. Giving them a little time to process (they're elderly) and then boy do I have questions!!

Hey, what's everyone cooking? I've got a squash casserole going, mustard greens and sweet potatoes with marshmallow's on top.

Yes, Virginia, I am from the south!

Happy Turkey Day Everyone!

Kim

My baby bbrother has always said that since we were reunited... and I believe that it's true... even the struggles and hardships... How WONDERFUL that your son's Godparents introduced themselves to you.. It's another connection to your son...I hope that they are able to give you more details about him... I know when I was searching I would get SO excited when I found something else out...some more of the missing pieces. I hope that these contacts help you in the journey of grief that you, unfortunately, have to travel. I'm here for you... sal

I am so dearly sorry for your loss. I pray that you find the information you need for closure.

[kdecrow]

Hi everyone...I'll try to make this short. As you know, I found my bson deceased after a search. I recently met his employer, a very nice man who shared stories of my son's life, showed me where he worked, etc. As fate would have it, this man's wife attends church with me-along with my son's Godparents. We became good friends and they have been instrumental in finding my granddaughter in the hopes that one day the family will allow contact. What dear friends this couple has become.
Last Saturday, my son's boss was killed in a car wreck. He was only 45. The night of the funeral, his wife had a terrible stomach ache. We all thought it was the stress of losing her husband, but we just got word. She's got pancreatic cancer. They have two boys. I'm devastated for this family. Please keep these children in your prayers. Thank goodness they have a large family and the children will be well taken care of. My head is spinning over how tragic this situation is.

The lady's name is Theresa. Please think of her when you say your prayers. I owe this couple so much and am going to do everything I can to help the family during this uspeakably terrible time.

Thanks,
Kim

Oh Kim ((( Hugs ))) Of course they will be in my prayers!! I am so sorry!

[sstuart]

(((Kim))) I will pray for the family. How tragic.

[kakuehl]

Kim, they - and you -- are in my prayers.

[kdecrow]

I just left the hospital. The tumor is the size of a grapefruit. Her poor skin is as yellow as a banana.

Please pray for her that it will be quick and easy and please pray for her children.

Kim

I am so so sorry. My heart breaks for those children. You'll all be in my prayers.

i am sad to hear that because i am scared that i might find that when i look.
My name is Lashonda and i am searching for my birth parents. I am scared that i may find that they are deceased and that i never got the chance to see them or my siblings.
I am hurting to know that i never knew that i was adopted and that i had sisters and brothers. i miss them so much.
Its hard to say that i feel your pain, but in some way i feel it and it never goes away. i am praying for the best for you.
