Tara...
Tonight as I sit here with Pops voting for you to win the best blog post and glancing at FoxNews with Hannity... I am Trusting God that his will is for you to be with your family in Oklahoma... I believe that God had a plan to bring us all together back in November 2009. I have grown to love you as my daughter and Pops has finally got his Princess! What an amazing story to tell! Honey... you fill our hearts with such JOY!
Pops and I miss you so much. There hasn't been one single day in the last nearly 3 months that we have gone without talking to you on the phone. We love you so much. As we get to know you more every day our love for you grows. There is nothing more peaceful then to crawl into bed at night and talk you to sleep with Pops laying beside me. The last 2 nights Pops has had to wake me to tell me to push the button. I then tell you to push the button because both of us have fallen asleep. I wait for the phone to go to a dialtone and then I hung up. I peacefully go back to sleep! Thank you Little One!
Thank you for loving us so fully and so completely. Your love amazes me. You have a heart the size of Texas and you are as strong as an Oxen. I Beieve and Trust in you Tara. God sent you to us... and we have choosen to love you with the most unconditional love I have ever known. My life is so complete with you and Pops and I thank GOD every day to have you in our lives. The only things I haven't done yet is to take you in my arms (wings to you) and hold you close to me and to make you some of your favorite foods that we all love too. Thank you God for sending Tara to us.
Our Father who art in Heaven hallowed be thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil... for Thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory... Forever.. and Ever... Amen!
I love you Tara... Always and Forever! Momma Carol

Hello there my sweet friend. From the Moment Carol SENT A message on twitter "Prayer warriors needed" I said how can I help. As she explained I went to your blog.As I read it my heart felt a connection to you like I've never felt! I immediately began to pray and continue to pray every day. I know mama Carol loves you so very much. You are an inspiration to all of us. You know how to reach me on twitter and anytime..and i do mean anytime. You can talk to me. I will close for now. Wishing you the best and looking forward to your updates. Love you Tara. God Bless You...Brenda

Princess, You are such a blessing to me and Momma Carol that I simply do not have the vocabulary to properly articulate how blessed I feel to have you as a part of my life! Like I told you on the phone, if I live to be a thousand, I could have never found a “daughter,” who calls me Pops, as special as you are to me! You are right: God did bring us together for a special reason, and we cherish each and every moment of the countless hours we have been blessed to spend together, even though it has mostly been on the phone for now!
Through all the laughter and the tears, you have been a true inspiration to everyone who has been blessed with the opportunity of knowing you. No, God does not make any mistakes, and He is blessing all who know you! The faith that Momma Carol and I have been given has been strengthened because of the opportunity we have been given to pray for you and with you! We know that all things are possible to those who believe: Mark 9:23. In 3 John 1:2 God says, “Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers,” and you know we believe the same and will never give up!
You know how much I love you; nevertheless, I find myself almost speechless when you tell me daily, “I love you to infinity and beyond.” In spite of the many challenges you have faced, your love for all others truly amazes me! Like so many others, I am blessed beyond words. Pops, along with many others, is praying for you daily and we are believing for a good report, to the glory of our Lord and Savior!! God has said in Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper, not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future,” and we are standing on His Word with you. Remember, tough times never last but tough people do, and we will always be here for you and with you!
Pops and Momma Carol love you very much; therefore, you are always in our thoughts and prayers. Jeremiah 33:3 God says, “Call to me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you know not.” I believe this with all of my heart, and I am believing for you, Princess. Remember, God is in control! I do not know what tomorrow holds, but I do know Who holds tomorrow and everything will be alright! I will be looking forward to talking to you again very soon. Pops loves you always and forever! ******SMACK*****Monkey Kisses from Momma Carol and me:).
PS: Looks like we might have to explain all these fantastic monkeys Frank has put up on this beautiful site for you:) Thank you Frank for building Tara's site... Bruce Gray @WarriorPatriot

Hi Tara! I'm friends with Lexie on Twitter and she sent out a nice message about you. So, I set out to learn why I should 'send Tara some love' .... and I wanted to know why. Wow! What an inspiration you are! I read your blog 'A Father's Heart'... went to your Tribute on the National Donor Memorial and was on your twitter page. This is absolutely amazing and what a grand tribute to the awesome gift of love you share with others and all the human emotion contained in it.
For me, you are a shining example of the expression: "Give the world the best you've got". Every now and then you run across a person that you learn to admire... or touches your heart. Today, it was you. You have brought new meaning in the words:
"Where ever I go ...and whatever I do, I always have taken my heart with me... And, if and when I depart, I hope something beautiful always remains."
Stay beautiful. God Bless.

Oh, btw, I am going to send you my favorite monkey pic on Twitter. An animated chimp laughing.

I thank God that you are in my life and that I can talk you to sleep every night. You are the highlight of my life. Pops and I have know that you are such a beautiful blessing to us! Hang in there baby girl.. We got lots of Monkey Hugs and Kisses for you! Gotta watch Pops.. his kisses are sometimes a little wet... oops I mean mine are a little wet... SMOOCH.. SMACK...

Your ticket is ready as soon as you give us the okay. We want to bring you HOME so that we can take care of you. We have so much love to give you honey... and Momma Carol wants to make sure you are eating real good!

When I saw you blog & saw adorable pics of monkeys, I looked out my window. Sure enough there were 6 cardinals feeding outside my window in the green moss they love so much. Then a beautiful orange breasted squirrel came along scampering down the trunk of the oak tree. Cardinals weren't scared though.
They knew the squirrel well. They were all friends. Friends because God let's them be all be together.
The beauty outside my window is all because of God, Dear Tara.
While I paid a landscape artist to map out this paradise...more for animals than for myself....it is all God's doing. If it was not for Him, I would have nothing.
Hope you are feeling better. Just remember Carol & Bruce will always & always be with you....and so will my spirit. We will remain together for eternity. We are not afraid because we walk with God.
Your friend,
Anna

Little Tara,
There are some who come in this world and make a difference! You are definitely one of them for me :)
When I think of you, a tear always surfaces because I feel so much warmth, love and courage, that it simply overwhelms my heart ¢¾
As I have gotten to know you and your story, my gratitude level increased because of your amazing will, strength, courage and amazing faith/hope/abundance of charity! Because of you, many are better and how I wish that I could make you better right now... it is my deepest wish today..
Know that you are loved, know that you are thought about, know that you have a loving God who takes care of you always, know that you make a difference in this life for good :)
You are never alone... you have friends across for miles - who kneel and pray on your behalf always...
Lexie is going to make up a joke now ;)
What did one monkey say to the other monkey? Where is my birth certifate? or... your banana is more a'peel'ing than mine? or... are you a swinger? or... Where is momma monkey - with Pops!
We love you Tara - Be Still and KNOW that I am God.. is my favorite scripture :) He knows little Tara.. He knows :)
Love,
Lexie

MY LOVE NOTE TO TARA
Our Dear Sweet Tara....As sure as I know I awakened breathing this morning , I know that God has you in the palm of His hand. Jesus came so that He could know of your suffering first hand! You are why He was willing to take the form of a man and suffer on Earth. Because of that He is closer than a brother to you today. No matter what is happening, remember and rest in the confidence that your Lord is the great Physician who has not forgotten you and will be your strength in weakness!
I love you and whisper a prayer for you every time I think of you...which is many many times each day.
Romans 8:39
Neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord
Cheri Douglas

Dear Tara,
We have all been thinking about you! I want to tell you that the love you have given to so many is a gift to all of us. Love knows no boundaries, just like a couple of these pictures show with monkeys and tigers. Love can do amazing things! I pray you trust that all the love you've given to others, will forever touch and grow in many hearts for years to come.
With love, Barbara
