Kisses in the Wind

KISSES IN THE WIND
I hold you in my heart and touch you in my dreams.
You are here each day with me, at least that's how it seems.

I know you wonder where we are... what's taking us so long.
But remember child, I love you so and God will keep you strong.

Now go outside and feel the breeze and let it touch your skin...Because tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.

May God hold you in His hand until I can be with you.
I promise you, my darling, I'm doing all that I can do.

Very soon, you'll have a family for real, not just pretend.But for tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.

May God wrap you in His arms and hold you very tight.
And let the angels bring the kisses that I sent to you each night.

For those who have asked about Jeremiah's Diagnosis/prognosis

For those who have asked:

Jeremiah has been diagnosed Severe Spasti Quadraplegic Cerebral Palsy, Microcephaly, Severe Hypertonia, Blind, seizures, and Massive Brain Damage. The Prognosis given for survival by the Neurologist is "none". We are CLAIMING healing and waiting to prove the Neurologist WRONG. We are thankful for every minute Jeremiah is in our arms and are trying to learn all we can to stimulate him, play with him, and give him and his amazing brother Noah the BEST life we can give them :) PLEASE join us in praying to God for a MIRACLE for Jeremiah :) if you will grab the button below and put on your blog and/or webpage to show your support for Jeremiah and to spread the word so others can be praying as well!
