I am so sorry that this is happening to all of you. I have no idea what to say other than we are all hoping and praying for you and you NEVER have to feel sorry that you have to vent here. You are all in our hearts.

Everytime I log into this Forum...I look at the "We're Out of PGN" threads...and hope and pray that one of them is from you. I'm a "newbie" to the Forum, and haven't been with you through this whole journey. But I'm there with you now.

You're in all of our hearts. God bless you and your family for your amazing love for this little boy!

Vent with us ANYTIME!

Sending you a hug

I'm so sorry that there is no news. You are in my heart and our prayers! Never apologize for venting - we are all here to support you and all the other families in the PGN blackhole!

Try and do something nice for yourself today - if it is nice where you are try to go outside - stare at the clouds and just let the air wash over you and take away the pain.

Wishing I were there to give you a hug - the unknown is so hard - allow God's promise to comfort you now. You will not be forsaken and He hears your prayers. Sometimes not now is for a reason we will never understand - which might be for the best.

Is there a way to get information from someone in Guatemala - an attorney, an asst., a case worker, anyone???

Suzanne,
There is nothing to say to make this better. I am so sorry for your struggle. I'm still praying for you.

Suzanne,

I don't even know what to say anymore....

Just know that we are all here for you and that we all want Memo home.

You are an inspiration to many of us...you are so strong and so determined. You are a good friend to many on here.

Try to stay strong!!!

Diane

You could vent every single day and we still wouldn't blame you! I'm so sorry you're having to go through this. Just know that we are all praying for you and for Memo.

I can't begin imagine your pain and frustration. However, I can tell you that your strength has been an inspiration to me since I joined this board. During the times that have been the hardest for me, I have drawn off of your forebearance, patience and determination to see this through. I hope that as you continue forward, you can find some comfort in knowing you deeply you and your family have touched the lives of others.
