MEET ME IN THE STAIRWELL...author not known to me.

'MEET ME IN THE STAIRWELL'






You say you will never forget where you were when


you heard the news On September 11, 2001.


Neither will I.






I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room


with a man who called his wife to say 'Good-Bye.' I


held his fingers steady as he dialed. I gave him the


peace to say, 'Honey, I am not going to make it, but it


is OK..I am ready to go.'






I was with his wife when he called as she fed


breakfast to their children. I held her up as she


tried to understand his words and as she realized


he wasn't coming home that night.






I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when a


woman cried out to Me for help. 'I have been


knocking on the door of your heart for 50 years!' I said.


'Of course I will show you the way home - only


believe in Me now.'






I was at the base of the building with the Priest


ministering to the injured and devastated souls.


I took him home to tend to his Flock in Heaven. He


heard my voice and answered.






I was on all four of those planes, in every seat,


with every prayer. I was with the crew as they


were overtaken. I was in the very hearts of the


believers there, comforting and assuring them that their


faith has saved them.






I was in Texas , Virginia , California , Michigan , Afghanistan .


I was standing next to you when you heard the terrible news.


Did you sense Me?






I want you to know that I saw every face. I knew


every name - though not all know Me. Some met Me


for the first time on the 86th floor.






Some sought Me with their last breath.


Some couldn't hear Me calling to them through the


smoke and flames; 'Come to Me... this way... take


my hand.' Some chose, for the final time, to ignore Me.


But, I was there.






I did not place you in the Tower that day. You


may not know why, but I do.. However, if you were


there in that explosive moment in time, would you have


reached for Me?






Sept. 11, 2001, was not the end of the journey


for you . But someday your journey will end. And I


will be there for you as well. Seek Me now while I may


be found. Then, at any moment, you know you are


'ready to go.'






I will be in the stairwell of your final moments.






God

TOTALLY AMAZING NEWS

WOW, first of all, I am in shock with the email that I have received. It is unreal that someone even thinks this highly about this family. We see us as a mom and a dad to many children...that is true....but something this wonderful...well, I am not sure about that. Rather than try to explain it, here are excerpts from the email.... The nationwide famous and wealthy PEW Foundation contacted us at Sierra Association of Foster Families.. they asked us to give them info on a family in Nevada who has adopted children and who is AN OUTSTANDING ADOPTIVE FAMILY in our state.. I wrote the nomination about you two.. and your family WHEN you win.. you will be invited ( i'm sure all expenses paid) to Capital Hill to receive the CONGRESSIONAL COALITION ADOPTION ANGEL AWARD and a big dinner with the politicians including maybe... First Lady Laura Bush..so.. you are nominated per us at SAFF... tell your children.. put it on your blog..to us the Merrill Simon Family is the OUTSTANDING ADOPTIVE FA...

PROUD DAY TO BE PARENTS :o)

I am not too sure that it gets much better than this at this stage of life. I wanted to post this yesterday, but I just ran out of time. Merrill and I received a letter informing us that LisaMarie was in the second grade math Olympics at school. Now this in and of itself is a huge accomplishment. Only the top five students from each class were chosen. So Merrill took off and I got a babysitter for MacGyver. Off we went. Now I am a little sadden to say that we did not really expect much to happen. We felt it an honor that LisaMarie had made it this far. We got there a little early, got a good seat and sat back to enjoy the competition. Oh my, let me tell you we were on the edge of our seats after about three rounds. LisaMarie was faster than we even knew she could be. She was confident, poised and all together in control, not like her parents sitting out in the crowd. Maybe it helps to be the only girl at home with so many boys, you tend to have it more together than most....LOL. Roun...

MALACHI ISAIAH-JACOB SIMON

Malachi Isaiah-Jacob Simon October 22, 1990 to July 29, 1997 Today it has been ten years since Malachi passed away. Who would have thought that life would continue to go on...not me. I thought it would end that very day or soon there after. No parent should ever have to loose a child so young, but they do, every day. It is hard and your heart aches so much so you know it will break and never heal....but it does. Somehow life goes on and with each day that passes you get a little stronger and your become a better person because of the one that you loved so very much. Malachi taught us so very much and he gave us the courage to become the parents that we are. It was Malachi that taught us we could do what we thought to be the impossible. He showed us that we could love what society says was the unlovable. He showed us that if you just laugh and take life at a much slower pace you could actually have fun with it all. He taught us that tires really do not taste all that bad. :o) Malachi sh...
