This morning I visited the blog of the parents of Eliot (99 Balloons). He had spoke at a funeral for a friend who had recently lost a child and he shared his message. It was beautiful. http://thespectacularvernacular.blogspot.com/2009/08/words.html
I thought the timing of seeing this was too coincidental to not share with you...
Looked at my fridge pictures this morning and had a little cry. Marie was always their for us, ever so helpful,full of encouragement and always positive.I'm so glad you got to visit with Daleste and Blair when they were in Vancouver.Wished we lived closer - in our thoughts and prayers - hugs and love.

We don't know eachother but my daughter and son-in-law have a daughter with an undiagnosed neurological disorder- very severe. We have been following your story since Josiah was born. I want you to know how inspiring your testimony has been to us. We are Christ followers as well and cling to his promises as you do. You have touched us but more importantly brought Glory to God!
I too have never met you, but stand with you in courage and grace. I pray that you find strength in knowing what wonderful parents you are and forever will be. Josiah is dancing with the angels as he watches over you now. All proceeds from any pendant I sell through modernseed will be donated to BCCH in memory of sweet Josiah. http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/group.php?gid=92088201220

HI Marie & Andrew, Thinking of you today. Just listening to my praise and worship music and it is just soothing my heart. Josiah's life was such a testiment of God's love and grace to us. Josiah also showed us that it is by God's miraculous wonders that we live each day. Thank you for sharing your journey with us all. I love you guys. Heather
I know comments were also comforting to me... could you put your address up on facebook or something so ppl know where to send cards and other things? God will use this Andrew and Marie, he already has Love you tons!
Andrew and Marie, My heart is breaking for you two. I pray that you feel God's arms around wrapped around you at this time. You have always amazed me with your positive outlook and strength. Thank YOU for showing us how God is always with us and is always in control of our lives. You are in our prayers. Robin and Marlis
Marie and Andrew, You are in our hearts and prayers. We are so sad to hear about Josiah going home to the Lord - and so thankful to Jesus that we were able to hold him just a couple weeks ago. We love you both so much. We loved him too. May the Lord fill your hearts with His comfort. Lollie, Stefan, Chris and Sophia
Ryan told Mike about Josiah today and our love and prayers are sent your way.
Mike is so grateful that he got to meet Josiah when you were here at Gardom Lake as Josiah was a very special child.
God creates certain children that transcend all boundaries and shine His Glory out to all that they meet. In the electronic world that we live in Josiah's world extended beyond his physical space to wherever he was needed.
God gave you a precious gift to treasure and take care of and you did a wonderful job. Your description of Josiah being at peace now is beautiful and he is now in God's shining Glory. He no longer has any struggles but has reached the promised land and awaits the day when you will all be together again. Until then he will be in your heart and your memories and the memories of many, many other people that he blessed.
