Dearest Joshua, I can’t begin to explain to you, the beautiful message delivered to so many of us, since your birth. God’s hand on your life has been marking our hearts. You, a tiny little 1 pound 7 ounce beautiful baby boy, has changed so many hearts forever! You are the first child of the 5th generation, born into the Gatt family. What a profound beginning to a new generation.
You are a chosen generation, A royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people. 1 Peter 2:9

Dearest Little Joshua, I have just read all of your history and letters to you on this website! You are such a precious soul and are so loved! You are so blessed to have such Godly parents, Nick and Melanie. Your life is touching so many with such pure love! We are continually praying for you and your parents and family. -With Loving Prayers, Jane and Tommy Bowling and Family (Amanda's parents) Jul 21 2007
"Blessed be God in His Angels and in His Saints" O Holy St. Anthony, gentlest of Saints, your love for God and Charity for His creatures, made you worthy, when on earth, to possess miraculous powers. Encouraged by this thought, I implore you to obtain for us good health for Joshua Joseph McFadden. O gentle and loving St. Anthony, whose heart was ever full of human sympathy, whisper my petition into the ears of the sweet Infant Jesus, who loved to be folded in your arms; and the gratitude of my heart will ever be yours. -Amen Jul 21 2007
Joshua- There's an Angel on your Shoulder........ Though you may have never heard her sing, I know she keeps you safe each day and close beneath her wing. Your angel does not play a harp or rest in clouds all day. She's much too busy guarding you, keeping you from harm's way. She rejoices in your life's success and weeps when your in pain. She picks you up when you fall and helps you try again. Tonight I'll say a prayer for her, and thank the Lord above- for sending you an angel to lead you with her love. Stay strong and full of life! You have a huge family waiting for you to come home!!! -lots of love- -Amanda Bowling Jul 21 2007
YOU ARE MY HEART.... I LOVE ALL OF YOU. MY BEST WISHES AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU ALWAYS. LOTS OF HUGS AND KISSES. TAMI -TAMI PHARES Jul 20 2007

-Sarah & Joe Jul 20 2007
God has taught me about His goodness & how He prevails, beside, between, beneath & behind the trials & pain in our lives all the while creating a work of art. I know He can be trusted. I know He can be trusted with you. Joshua everything in me wants to erase the pain you are going thru because my heart doesn’t want any suffering for you but, if it is suffering that will produce Godly character & lead to hope, then I abandon all fleshly reason & submit to what I know - God is good. If you live a life without trial you may never know His heart the way you would have otherwise. I promise you that I will continue praying on your behalf for the rest of my life I will be relentless in pleading before His feet for you. I thank God every day for you. You never know how people will touch your life when you first meet them. I could never have expected to find such amazing Godly friends as I have found in your Mommy & Daddy. You are one lucky little guy to have them looking out for you. -Dodie - u can call me Aunt Muffin ; ) Jul 20 2007
Dear Joshua You precious little baby- if you could comprehend how much you are loved! This suffering that is being endured and resigned to, and offered up for your behalf is so powerfully manifesting this amazing love that surrounds you. Your mom just wrote yesterday; “Sometimes that is the hardest part of this all. The suspense and the worry that you have to offer up to God is challenging”. Praise God for the gift of your life this present moment. God please give your Mom and Dad all the strength they need for the path you are on. Please God heal Joshua, and bless everyone involved. May God give all of us the grace to understand suffering like Saint Paul did when he said: " I rejoice now in the sufferings I bear for your sake, and what is lacking of the sufferings of Christ I fill up in my flesh for his body which is the Church; whose minister I have become in virtue of the office that God has given me in your regard. For I am to preach the word of God fully---the mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations, but now is clearly shown to his saints.” (Colossians 1:24-26)
We just wanted you know that you are in our thoughts and prayers! Joshua sure is a handsome and tough little boy! Love, Niels & Kim Stone ( David's sister) -Kim Stone Jul 19 2007

Melanie and Nick-just wanted you to know today how our hearts ache for you for all that you have had to endure. You are truly an example of unconditional love, and true example of how a parent REALLY loves their child no matter what the circumstances. Everyday you are all in our thoughts and prayers. Find comfort in the fact that even though Joshua has had a very rough time during these many weeks, he has come to know you both has his special mommy and daddy. You have given him comfort, love and peace when he needed it most. Our love and support continue. Hugs and kisses to you all.

-Aunt Sarah Jul 17 2007
Hi, Little Joshua Joseph! How loved you are! You are so cared for by God, His Mother, all the billions of angels and saints in Heaven, all your many relatives both living and passed on, and so many friends here now with you at this marvellous time. So many of us are looking forward to meeting you. And some day and in the future, many of us would like to walk with you and talk with you, and, if we are capable and/or not too old, maybe even run with you! A very dear priest, Fr. Lamb, reminds many of us quite often about what LOVE is, even though it has taken many centuries to understand, and still it is hard for us to remember the simple truth of it. He says if you could think of all the love you have ever received in your whole life, and then add to that all the love you have ever had in you and have given to so many others; and then add on to that every other person's love (in your family, neighbors, country, and the whole world); and then include the love of all persons who have ever lived since the beginning of time: All that love would be but a tiny spark of the infinite and everlasting love that God The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit has and is! Much Love and Prayers to you, dear Joshua! -elizabeth beingolea Jul 17 2007
Baby Joshua, Casey and I pray for you everynight wishing that you will be able to come home soon. We love you. -Amanda, Casey, Summer, and Brandon Shane Jul 16 2007
Dear Baby Joshua, What a strong and courageous gift you are. May the dear Lord bless you and keep you. May He shine His face upon you. We love you. Tricia and family -Patricia Sabino Krupske Jul 16 2007
Baby Joshua, What a little miracle you are and what a story you will have to tell. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Janine -Janine Ruffino Jul 16 2007
Precious Joshua, "Friends are the family we choose for ourselves". Your mom and dad (and me) work together in a close-knit room with alot of people that we have considered to be an extended family. You are now part of that family. You may not be aware now, but you have lots and lots of love and prayers coming to you every minute. I can't wait for the day I can come up and hold you in the hospital. You have some pretty neat Grandma's who love you dearly, but I am going to be your extended family Grandma who loves you to pieces too!! You are doing great Joshua - keep getting stronger so I can come hold you. God Bless You and Mom and Dad! -Cathie Francis Jul 16 2007
Baby Joshua,
You are such a great inspiration to me. You have made me a better mommy to my children in the way that I remember to give that extra kiss, a tighter hug and not take for granted any moments. Your mommy and daddy are wonderful, strong people and are going to be blessed with all you do in the future. Every day I pray to God and thank him for your presence here and to be with you as you get even stronger and fight even harder. I can't wait to meet you and watch you grow. May God continue to bless you all. -Nonnie, Matt, Jonnah and Jordyn Vaill (maybe your future girlfriend:)) Jul 16 2007
Dear Baby Joshua,
Today I am offering up for your full healing and recovery, our usual prayer petitions as well as the Divine Mercy Chaplet at 3:00pm but also the sufferings we encountered today when my car broke down for two hours after I went to the doctor. It took almost the full two hours by the side of the road for the AAA tow truck to show up, then we called a sheriff to help direct cars away until more help arrived. After it was towed we found out that we'll need to by our ONLY car, another alternator (the fourth in five years)--we'll have to wait till payday to pick it up. We know that if we offer up even these tiny sufferings of ours, it can help aleviate some of your sufferings, and then it will be worth it! God bless you! Love, Maureen -The Boylan Family Jul 16 2007
Baby Joshua- My how much you have grown since the last pictures I saw. You are very handsome and very, very strong. Can't wait to see you come home!!
Love, Jade & Lee -Jade Jul 16 2007
God has established the patterns of life, and all our labors cannot change them. Therefore we should stop straining against these limits and find real joy and beauty which exist in the daily round. Ecc. 3:1-22 Take all the time, cherish every moment even during the terrible two's, the menacing middler, the tedious teen, etc. years with Joshua.
God bless you all, From our family to yours The Parkers -Tamela Parker Jul 16 2007
Bless you all & thank you for the update!! We miss you in our class & will continue to keep you in our thoughts & prayers. Please keep us updated!! Susan Dunn Bradley Method® -Susan Dunn Jul 15 2007

With Love, Sheila
