We love the new pictures! I remember that "suntanned" coloring very well. You are such a gift and a miracle -- keep up the good work. May God continue to bless you and Mommy & Daddy and Grandma & Grandpa, and the rest of your family. May He impart wisdom to your caregivers and continue to guide their hands as they look after you. We can't wait to meet you one day. Love, The Grants -Lynn Grant Sep 03 2007

Hi, Joshua: You don't know me but I met your grandma when my little preemie Shannon was about 8 months old. We were in RCIA at St. Elizabeth Seton and your grandma was always so insightful and asked great questions of Fr. Spinelli. I have been praying for you all summer, dear sweet boy, without knowing who you were, waiting for my friend Kathy to dispatch her updates on your condition. You have come so far, and we rejoice in the miracle that you are. Now I have need of prayers as well for my daughter Hannah who is still in a coma 30 days after a terrible car accident. She is a fighter, just like you, and we are hoping God will perform just one more miracle and return her to us. May the angels continue to watch over you. Our family continues to keep you in our prayers. May God continue to bless you and your family. -Lynn Grant Aug 27 2007

Melanie, Nicholas and baby Joshua
May today there be peace within. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.
-Saint Therese of the child Jesus - Prayer Aug 07 2007

Dear mommy and daddy,
God is our refuge, and what comfort that brings! He is your refuge when you awaken in the night filled with fear, and cold sweat breaks out. He is your refuge, your strength, a very present help when events transpire that you cannot understand... When you hear news that you may think is tragic, He is a very present help. In the Lord I take refuge. A refuge is a place of hiding. It is a place of protection. The term for refuge is chasah in the ancient Hebrew. A chasah is a protective place that provides safety from that which would otherwise hit and hurt. It's a protection from danger and from distress.
In the Lord I take refuge. Psalm 11:1 -Love, Little Trooper Aug 05 2007
Joshua we pray that you make it over this mile stone. We hope you will be home soon so mommy can give you lots of hugs and kisses. Keep up the fight, we both love you very much. Feel Better soon.XOXOXOXOXOXO Love,
-Casey and Ms. Amanda Aug 05 2007
Joshua be Blessed this day and always, and know that you are loved.
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." Jos 1:9
