Sweet Beautiful Lauren & Wonderful Mom Jo-Ann,
I cannot tell you how I feel or there are not any words to express how I met such wonderful families on my babies site 
and all the other beautiful families and their beautiful children. It is like I have known all of you for such a long time. 
No matter which site I go to I read the whole life story of each child every time. Even though I have read them already. 
That is why I feel like they are family to me. I also cry each and every time. I am trying to get back to each family that continue to write to my Joey. I just put my Mother in a Nursing Home and I am there everyday to feed her. 
I was taking care of her for 5 1/2 months at home, until I could no longer do it by myself. 
I am now taking care of my father, and I am just exhausted. My father is starting to get the same thing as my mom and it is a nightmare. 
She has Alzmheimer's Disease. I have been a nurse for 38 years, when my baby was taken from me 
I went out on medical leave and I did try to go back on 3 different occasion's and I could no longer do it I did not want to  
put my patient's at risk with my frame of mind. Since my Joey, it took some time but, I did write a book. 
I thought it would help many Mom's & families. I had to put everything on hold. 
I had book signing, readings, etc. I am actually on my second book but of course I had to stop in the middle of writing and put that also on hold.As you know families of course come first. 
I am still in mourning over my baby and will be until my time comes & I am reunited with my Joey once again. 
I am hoping with all my "heart" that my book will help others. You can get any and all information at 
www.deborahdematthews.com But I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for writing to my Joey.
To my dearest friend,
Love to each and every one,
Love,
Debbie/Joseph's Mom.  I also want everyone to know that any proceeds from the book is going to charity, school's, church's 
and families that lost a love one unexpected, in Joey's name, to me it is keeping my Joey's name alive.
xxxooo
Never forget Lauren is always in my daily prayers, I hope she heard me this am.
