Update

Thank you everyone for your emails and concerns over what is happening. As you know we where to go to court on March 4th. To see if Christie would be able to have any of her rights reinstated.Then on the 17th and 18th we where to have the case that would tell if Christie would remain in nursing homes for the remainder of her life or to come home. As it turned out the doctor that was going to evaluate Christie was unable to meet with Christie until the 4th. As a result the court for the 4th was canceled and rescheduled for the 17th. At this time I haven't gotten a new date for the hearing that was to be held on the 17th.
Christie seems to be doing well. I hear she is showing her humorous side that I have known she has always had. I do know she goes on field trips with her class on Thursdays. They go to parks and to Wal Mart. I don't know how she is doing grade wise as I haven't received any report cards or progress reports this year from Richard and the school per Richard's request can't share any of that with me.
Christie continues to tell me how much she misses Joy Bear and asks me do I have her. She says she is lonely and sad and that she misses Joy Bear. There are other things she tells me but as this update is getting lengthy I will stop here. Please continue to Pray for the up coming court dates.
Thank You,
Becky and Christie

I went to middle school with Christie. I remember her as an energetic and fun loving girl who was never too busy to help when I just could not figure out a math problem. I moved away in eighth grade and just recently was told about christie and this blog. I am so sorry for everything that she is having to go through. I am about to be a mother and i can't imagine what it would be like to have to see your daughter like this. Christie has always been a strong person even with being picked on in school like we were she always seemed to hold her head high and find the best in people. As a soon to be mother it made me cry to think about how much someone's child has had to go through just to survive. You and Christie are my rolemodel's she has shown that no matter what life throws at you it is our job to never give up and find the silver lining in any situation. And you have to be the strongest woman i have ever heard of, to have the strength to stand by your daughter and be the rock that she needs is amazing. I am so very proud to say that christie has touched my life, and she will be in the prayers of my family and myself!

MOTHERS


This is a truly BEAUTIFUL piece. Please Read this at a slow pace, digesting every word and in Leisure...do not hurry... This is a treasure...
>For those lucky to still be blessed with your Mom,This is beautiful. For those of us who aren't, this is Even more beautiful. For those who are moms, you'll love this.
>The young mother set her foot on the path of life. 'Is This the long way?' she asked. And the guide said:'Yes, and the way is hard. And you will be old before you reach the end of it... But The end will be better than the beginning.'
But the young mother was happy, and she would not Believe that anything could be better than these years. So she Played with her children, and gathered flowers for Them along the way, and bathed them in the clear streams; and The sun shone on them, and the young Mother cried,'Nothing will ever be lovelier than this.'
>Then the night came, and the storm, and the path was Dark, and the children shook with fear and cold, and the mother Drew them close and covered them with her mantle, and the children said, 'Mother, we are not afraid, for you are near, and no harm can come.'
>And the morning came, and there was a hill ahead, and The children climbed and grew weary, and the mother was weary. But at all times she said to the children,' A little patience and we are there.'So the children climbed, and when they reached the top They said, 'Mother, we would not have done it without you.'
>And the mother, when she lay down at night looked up At the stars and said, 'This is a better day than the last, for my Children have learned fortitude in the face of hardness.Yesterday I gave them courage. Today, I've given them strength.'
>And the next day came strange clouds which darkened The earth, clouds of war and hate and evil, and the children groped And stumbled, and the mother said: 'Look up. Lift your eyes to the light. ' And the children looked and saw above the clouds An everlasting glory, and it guided them beyond the Darkness. And that night the Mother said, 'This is the best day of all, for I have shown my children God.'
>And the days went on, and the weeks and the months and The years, and the mother grew old and she was little and bent. But her children were tall and strong, and walked with Courage. And when the way was rough, they lifted her, For she was as light as a feather; and at last they came to a hill,And beyond they could see a shining road and golden gates flung wide. And Mother said, 'I have reached the end of my journey. And now I know the end Is better than the beginning, for my children can Walk alone, and their children after them.'
>And the children said, 'You will always walk with us, Mother, even when you have gone through the gates.'And they stood and watched her as she went on alone, and the gates Closed after her. And they said: 'We cannot see her But she is with us still. A Mother like ours is more than a memory. She Is a living presence.......'
>Your Mother is always with you... She's the whisper Of the leaves as you walk down the street; she's the smell of bleach In your freshly laundered socks; she's the cool hand On your brow when you're not well. Your Mother lives Inside your laughter. And she's crystallized in every tear drop. She's the place you came from, your first home; and she's the map you follow with every step you take. She's your first love And your first heartbreak, and nothing on earth can Separate you.Not time, not space... Not even death!
>I LOVE YOU MY BABY GIRL
