Thank you,
One year ago I found this forum. Little did I know what laid in store for my girl. I’ve meant some memorable character and some dear forum friends. Your knowledge has been invaluable and your compassion unsurpassed by anyone that I know. Grace’s journey is anything but complete but we’ve made it thus far and we shall make it all the way!
Once again, THANK YOU for the last year of support.


Farmwife Poem
Your Future

A baby once were you
Upon my heart you rested with ease
We were filled with wonder
At what your future would be

As time marched on
The pains came and the problems we could see
You laid on my chest to take comfort from the agony
Then I worried what your future could be

Doctors, nurses and tears were our weekly routine
And we wondered if the pain in our hearts would ever ease
Then the day came and the diagnose was given
I cried because of what kind of future this could be

The mountain at times seems so high
You struggled through more than meant the eye
My heart sang as we saw your pain start to leave
The future seemed a little easier to be

Oh my child, a baby once were you
You had no choice but to live this life that was given you
You’ve showed such heart and strength to make us proud
I no longer worry what your future will be.


A Farmwife Prayer
Oh dear Jesus,
I’ve served you faithfully and that will NEVER change. You’ve dealt me a hand that’s hard to play.
You’ve place a burden on my child that seems so hard to bare.
You ‘ve a reason for everything and this truth I hold dear.
The strength your teaching Grace is showing me that her future will be great,
for she can already bare the weight.

Grace’s Prayer……… (After a day of pain.)
Dear Jesus,
Please heal up my cousin. His brain is not working and Auntie is worried.
Be with my Granny her knees are hurting.
As for me…….Tinker Bell wings would be nice.

Farmwife,
You sound so very strong. I am sure that GOD has big plans for your dauther and a great reward for you. Each time I read about kids with CD/UC my heart goes out to them and their arent. I found out I had crohns at age 61. I would give my life for just one child not to have to deal with their crohns. My God be with you and your. You are a big light at this forum.
 
Love that girl's heart and character! Tinker Bell wings would be awesome!
Very well said farmwife. Thank you
 
I've held off reading this post because I knew it would make me teary eyed. Well, sure enough, I'm sitting here snot nosed and all teary eyed. I admire your faith and your strength. Thanks for sharing this with all of us.

What a little sweetheart! Grace seems like such a brave, selfless little girl. I really hope she gets some relief soon. Sending lots of healing thoughts and prayers!
 
Year two already of being on this forum.
Two years of doctors and test.
Two years of the up's and down's of her journey.
Most of all, TWO YEARS of gained knowledge, encouragement and friendship from y'all.

THANK YOU!

I was going to write a different poem but really............my life is still this poem.
It seems sometimes I'm back at the beginning, then trying to climb that mountain but thankfully I've also seen her pain leave.

My prayer hasn't changed this whole time. It still amazes me the strength Grace shows and I know that's a gift from the Lord.

Her prayer.......................still they same.:)
