Dear Kathy- Yesterday was an immense day of much sorrow and  
suffering.  I
offered it up for whoever needed the graces to endure whatever was  
happening
in their life.  Sounds like YOU needed those prayers!  How frighting for
your son Daniel and boy have I slept in lumpy hospital chairs!

I will offer up my Mass today for your family and families needs.  Happy
Birthday to your Rebecca!  Today March 8 would have been my Rebecca's  
21st
birthday.  That's why yesterday was so emotional for me.  I  
understand how
your day went. :(  Nothing better than a Mass though.  When that veil
between heaven and earth is lifted at consecration and we're with all of
heaven!  Why it doesn't get any better except when actually receiving
Christ. I can feel all of my children(5) in heaven and alot of times  
I choke
up.

We lost our Rebecca one year ago on March 28th.  The pain is so raw  
in these
past weeks.  It has come to me in waves.  It began with Maggie's  
birthday on
2-13 and it will continue through out the month as we face more
anniversaries. Our Rebecca prayed for a sister with special needs and we
were blessed with Magdalena. T-18 on 2-13-02.  Bec then prayed for  
Maggie to
live past Rebecca's birthday and she did!  Magdalena passed away the  
NEXT
day on our son Maximilian's 2 birthday.  Then about 2 weeks before  
Rebecca
passed away unexpectedly she prayed for God to bless us with twins  
the next
time I concieved. Here we are pregnant with identical twin boys!!!   
Those
little saints are powerful.  Did you ask your Rebecca to watch over her
brother?  Our little saints are soooo busy "helping" us.  Don't  
forget to
ask for that help!  Our Rebecca had Spina Bifida and so I know alot  
about
the neuro part of the spine.  I'm praying for your little guy.  I've  
asked
my Rebecca to watch over him too.  She knows all about the Neuro  
stuff.  She
had over 50 surgeries many shunt revisions about 15!  I've spent many  
months
in the hospital on bad chairs. Then our childrens hospital updated  
and each
room is now private with a fold out bed/chair for parents.  That's
WONDERFUL!!!! Try and take care of yourself and update us when you know
more.

God Bless,

Dawn Brenner
