Missing Joyanna

Sometimes....people walk into your life and make such a big impression....this little girl did and she didn't have to utter a word.  This little treasure left us and headed home for Heaven a few weeks ago. Because we have the hope of Heaven...we know she is now dancing before Jesus but we sure will miss her!

Dear friends of ours adopted this treasure 5 years ago this week...we met them at the airport to welcome little Joyanna home with the other latest addition, Jeremiah.  We've had family outings, camping trips, and many sweet times together...our kids adored Joyanna.

One of the girls shared with me that she came along side her when she wasn't accepted into a group...she said mom she just had great love for me even though she didn't understand everything going on with me.  She accepted me, smiled and showed amazing joy.

For the things she endured on earth, she always lived up to her name...JOYanna!  We've had many tears shed and will certain not miss her!
