Every view on Lynda's blog is a cherished tribute

Lynda's blog has already had hits from hundreds of people in the United States as well as about ten  other countries.  Each person who visits Lynda's blog takes away a little more of our grief.  Each time we are able to share Lynda's stories with others we are blessed.   We miss her deeply and you know that people who have lost a loved one want to talk about their loved one.   Communicating with others about her through the blog keeps me busy.  It keeps my focus on how much God loves Lynda.  Even when Lynda lived on earth, Lynda couldn't speak for 30 years.  Prior to her stroke in 1982, she had a limited vocabulary but she was able to express her needs with words, gestures and facial expressions and body language we learned to interpret.

God chose Lynda to shine the light of truth on many important and necessary subjects to benefit children with special needs.  He asked me to join him in a life-long commitment to serve as Lynda's advocate.  In doing so I have traveled some roads that I certainly wouldn't have chosen for Lynda and myself had the choice been left up to me... but it wasn't.  I knew from the beginning that I was God's hands for Lynda but he was the one guiding our footsteps.

Often as a parent of a child with profound disabilities, I have felt alone and isolated.  After her death, the grief almost suffocated me with the intensity of the feelings I was working through.  God granted me the peace that does defy all understanding.  Lynda's blog has been a part of the healing process and the way that God has demonstrated that Lynda's legacy of love lives on and will forever.

So, when you visit her blog please accept our sincerest appreciation for honoring Lynda in this way.  We would love for you to follow us on google + or by email.  Most of all, we would love for you to comment on the posts and let us know where you live and if you too are a member of the club that none of us ever wanted to be in...parents whose child or children have preceded us in death.  I believe that I will see Lynda again and I know that she is in the arms of Jesus right now.  That is the ultimate comfort but I am her mother and I miss her right now.

 Visit and visit often because in doing so you are helping to spread Lynda's great legacy of love.
