Jaylin touches my heart, as all of you do, and sometimes it is good to care that deeply about something, so important, as making a chld's life work better. As you continue to undertake and manage her emotionally-charged journey, she will begin to find the strength to reclaim her life, rediscover her family that cares no matter what and return to something she had almost given up on ...her hope.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8392896067157645948.post-459397893740311272010-01-22T18:27:26.014-05:002010-01-22T18:27:26.014-05:00I guess I just look at hope as an expectant emotio...I guess I just look at hope as an expectant emotion, and I can honestly say that I don't expect things to get better. I just believe that no matter how ugly it gets, or how dark and scary it seems, God WILL send people with flashlights. One of my favorite quotes came from Judging Amy and her clerk said "Just remember, something worse is going to happen" ;0) <br /><br />PS, in case ya didn't know anonymous, you are a flashlight holder!Jessica Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17195933657619122165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8392896067157645948.post-62452795673449928012010-01-22T17:56:15.562-05:002010-01-22T17:56:15.562-05:00oh my goodness Anonymous, that was incredibly kind...oh my goodness Anonymous, that was incredibly kind of you to say.

I see hope in the smile you paste on when you're so tired you cant see straight and the stability you provide for everyone. I see hope floating in a love that has no end and a determined belief that things can get better......even if they arn't today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8392896067157645948.post-28818534453013729042010-01-13T15:14:21.688-05:002010-01-13T15:14:21.688-05:00Thank you so very much Mary!
