I wanted to thank you for your amazing blogs. What a beautiful message of a mother's love and of God's love for all of us. Logan is an amazing spirit and I know he is up in heaven dancing with our maker right now. We are all privliged to have known such an amazing soul. <br /><br />Logan's story has brought my family closer to God and we couldn't be more happy. I am now living everyday to the fullest, enjoying every moment I have with my husband and children. I savor the "just sitting around the house time" and make it a time of more kisses and cuddles. My daughter and son both gush from all the love they are feeling inside and its because of your beautiful boy.<br /><br />Thank you for the strength and courage to love that you and your family have given me. You are truly blessed!<br /><br />Love,Dominiquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11428150318405495596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2479229652117151526.post-79990108580171559982012-02-18T06:49:21.877-08:002012-02-18T06:49:21.877-08:00This post is the first of any I've read.

I'm so sorry for your loss, but I'm so thankful that you have your faith in God to get you and your family through this hard time.<br /><br />Something that really hit me was your vision. I lost my cousin whom I loved dearly last July. After months and months of grieving, one night before Christmas I heard God asking me to pray in the middle of the night. I got to my knees, started to pray, and was blessed with a vision of my cousin being with Jesus. And being restored to the happy, healthy, whole person that I hadn't seen in a while. Knowing that, though it didn't take the grief away, gave me an incredible peace. <br /><br />Love and prayers to you and your family.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02313807692540192091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2479229652117151526.post-2291572684694299542012-02-17T16:45:24.931-08:002012-02-17T16:45:24.931-08:00Hi Mrs. Wight.

We go to Centerpointe church, and I saw Logan dance at Jazz n Taps. I prayed for Logan with my family ever since we heard about his sickness. I think he was a very cute little boy when I saw him in his Jazz n Taps picture. Your post inspired me a lot because when my sister was 4 years old, she was diagnosed with mild autism. Even though mild isn't much, sometimes her behaviors are hard to deal with. On the good side, my sister draws very well and she is very creative in a way. She also has a lot of friends. She can do lots of things that people without autism can't do.After reading your blog with my mom, I realized that if you can be strong about Logan, that I can be strong about my sister. And yes, I believe you will see Logan once again. We will keep praying. Thank you for being inspiring to our family.<br /><br />Sincerly,<br />Alyssa and familyAlyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18307882181665890696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2479229652117151526.post-10527205861971272352012-02-17T08:45:29.271-08:002012-02-17T08:45:29.271-08:00Hi Sherry!

I was heartbroken when she came home on Tuesday and told me of Logan's passing. I had the privelge of having Abby in my group on the last field trip. She spoke of her brothers so sweetly. I've asked the girl's teacher if there's any way to send you a card with condolances, provide meals, or gift card for meals, or if there is a fund set up we can donate to. We'd like to help in any way we can. If Abby would like to go out on a playdate with Isabelle to get her out of the house, we'd gladly do that. Please let us know in anyway that we can help. I'll provide my information to Mrs. B to give to you. Above all else, we are believers as well and will continue to pray that God blesses you with strength and comfort.<br />God Bless,<br />Stacy, Omar, Isabelle, and Elias MoralesStacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324754186417314875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2479229652117151526.post-32241045359361987272012-02-15T17:00:00.957-08:002012-02-15T17:00:00.957-08:00Am thinking about you guys today.

As you asked, yesterday I spent the whole morning at my church(where I am every Sunday morning) with the Kindergarten through Fifth grade children. Being with children is one reward of the world that you speak of in your February 11 post. To hear children talk about Jesus and then to experience them accepting Christ, well nothing is any better. Your Logan and you his family has given me a glimpse of what Christ following people should look like. To read your feelings as you have walked this path the last 18 months has been uplifting, happy, sad, and most of all encouraging. The love that you speak of that God has for us is amazing. In my life I have felt God and his Son Jesus embrace many, many times. I am so thankful that my parents loved so much that they lead me to Christ as I was growing up. As parents you are doing the same thing and you will never have one moment that you wished you didn't. Please know that I pray that time will heal most of the hurt and you will be able to rely on your memories and as you have said you will have the comfort that Logan has already met Jesus and they have skipped together many many times. Love! Love! to all of you.

I am Amy's cousin. I have only been folowing your blog for a short time. I pray for God to give you and your family strength during this difficult time. No parent should have to grieve their child. You now have a beautiful Angel watching over you and your family. I belong to a fabulous group of Women who are spread all over the world, I have asked them all to pray for your family and read your blog. We are a group of 115 women strong. So if you see anyone sign in the signature block from the YM group, that is our Yummy Mummy group. I want to share a quote thatI recently shared with a Mum who delivered her second baby this year, sleeping...........<br /><br />I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make.<br /><br />Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love.<br /><br />Leo Buscaglia<br /><br />Everyday I sing and dance with my Ava.

His name was Joshua and he was 4 years old when he went home to be with the Lord. When I read your posts,the things you shared brought back so many memories of the ups and downs my wife and I shared with battling with Joshua against his luekemia, but what we learned from that experience and God's loving faithfulness will never be forgotten. We have started a foundation in his name, to help families who have lost their children due to an illness, we help with the costs of funeral arrangements, during a time such as this it is hard to get your mind to wrap around you having to bury your child and the costs can be staggering, this is our way of honoring our son by helping other families get through this time without the worry of how will they pay for another expense. I know of some of the feelings you are going through, but if I may encourage you, they do get lessened and God's grace becomes even greater as the days go by. My heart goes out to you and your lovely family. Some couples have had a hard time with this and it can lead to a heavy toll on their relationship, with yours I can truly say this will not be the case, I know that your family is safe and secure in the Master's care and you and yours will come through this stronger,wiser and more ready to further the Kingdom's purposes for your life's. I am praying for you and your family, if you need someone to talk with,to pray with who knows the struggle of this, I am here for both of you. May the peace of Yeshua be yours now and forever more. my email is antuainjones@gmail.comantuainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05127417408171605283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2479229652117151526.post-74987863868128432442012-02-12T22:25:11.981-08:002012-02-12T22:25:11.981-08:00I love and admire the way you love and trust God, ...I love and admire the way you love and trust God, Sherry. Thank you for never backing down from what you believe - it speaks volumes about your true relationship with God. And thank you for sharing such intimate sweet last moments with your Sunshine. I am certain that he leaped into the arms of Jesus with a smile on his face, knowing how much he was, and will continue to be loved. I hope you'll keep in touch in the future, as I've really enjoyed our email conversations.

I am praying that Jesus will heal all the wounds that have been given by the past year and a half, and now by Logan's death. It has been a sad day for us here, thinking about the end of his beautiful little life on earth, but we did honor your request by having a family dance party in the living room. And it was fun, and I will remember to celebrate more often because of Logan.
