It's 4 am , and I could'nt sleep,so I got on here to read about Brea.She looks awesome!!! I lovr her in the pink!!!She is so beautiful! She looks so happy with Brooke and Baker in the pictures.They are beautiful too!! God has really done some miracles for our family ,and I am thankful to know him.I praise God for giving Brea a new heart, and for the donor's family , that they made the choice to donate to another family in need.I pray a special blessing and peace for the donor family.I am so glad your whole family got to spend Easter together.The true meaning of holidays are always overlooked,let us remember what EASTER is all about ,,,,,,, Easter's True Meaning
Easter bunnies, Chocolate eggs and happy children playing
Peter Rabbit, fluffy chicks and "Happy Easter" saying
Little one's running here and there telling each other tales
But Easter's true meaning started out towards whip and cross and nails
He hung on a rugged cross battered, torn and bruised
A crown of thorns upon His head the soldiers were amused
Where is your God now they said their voices filled with sneering,
A spear was thrust into His side while others looked on cheering
Did you hear Him one voice said He asked we be forgiven
He called someone His Father when He looked up to the heavens
What rubbish He's the carpenter's son and its plain to see He's dead
Now which of us will have His cloak but no one really cared
His followers took His body down they laid it in a tomb
With heavy hearts and crying eyes and voices filled with gloom
But Jesus had a job to do and needed these three days
To smash the enemy's fortress claiming victory all the way
Then He took this victory over death and hell and sin
He presented it to His Father with the blood he'd wrapped it in
After this because of love He showed Himself once more
To the folks who mourned His passing when He died just days before
Though we do not see Him now in the flesh as they did then
It's just as true our Saviour lives for us there'll be no end
So when the Angel comes to call at the closing of lifes day
For me there'll be no heavy heart just singing all the way
I know, I know, my Saviour lives, He's waiting there for me
And I'll walk and talk with Jesus right into eternity I love all of you,,DeAnna

Dear Mary,
It struck me really strongly as I read today's message, that God had a reason to hold up your adoption process for so long. He knew Brea needed you aas her parents and that she needed to be where He placed her so that her heart would get all the proper care it would need to keep her alive unntil her donor heart became available.
To God be the Glory, Indeed!

Brea's smile is just so precious.
I praise God your little girl is doing so well. I can see she is such a blessing to those around her.
I trust God to have great plans for her life.

I saw the pictures of you daughter and wanted to send my heartfelt prayers to you. She is doing so so well. I also wanted to tell you that your story and situation has renewed my faith in organ donation. My 8 year old died in January 2006 very suddenly and we donated her heart valves as that was the only thing they allowed. They were destroyed and we were told they were waiting for donation. It took 13 months for the organ tissue center to tell us what really happened. It was like she died all over again. I am faithful, a Christian and I know that God has better things to come and I was given the honor of raising an angel even if it was for only 8 years. Brea's story has helped me to realize that even though it did not go well for us...organ donation is important and I will still be one. We are waiting to get our TA for our daughter Lindsey living in Gutian. We hope to travel this summer. GOD BLESS YOU AND THANKS FOR TOUCHING MY FAMILY
Kathy, Steve and Jesse Tatakis

What a precious Easter! Celebrating our risen Lord and Saviour together as a family of 5!!! Praising God with you for this special day! A day together with family. A day of added strength. A day of 'clothing' besides a hospital gown. A day of CELEBRATION....Chirs our Lord is Risen...He is Risen indeed!
So very, very happy for you!
Catherine...2 1/4 years into my adoption journey and probably looking at at least 1 more...yup...patience happening here too!
