I Love and miss you so very much. On November 2nd I went to a dinner in honor of you. I was the guest speaker for Donate Life and The Florida Lions Eye Bank. I took Myles and Reece to my speaking engagement for the first time in 5 years. They were both crying and I was so touched by the emotion they felt. They heard your story and the things we faced together while you fought for life and I prayed for it. We also met a wonderful young man with a story of hope. He was 14 and a liver recipient like our Louis in Gulfport MS. He had a beautiful story of survival. His dad said that he felt guilty about his transplant because someone died. I told him that if we as organ donors could give him just one day, just one, that the decision was worth it. To never feel guilty and to know he is here for a reason. He friended me on Facebook. Another couple had a son who received a heart transplant as an infant and died at 23 just recently. What an amazing story. We lit candles in honor of you and all of the loved ones we have lost who gave. I know your Birthday was the 3rd and I have not been on here in a bit. I have had hundreds of people comment on facebook. It has become my blog too. I just know you are my angel. I love and miss you every day of my life. Keep a cloud warm for me until I see you there. </span></em><br />

<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Dear Brande, We all know that making changes is tough. When I moved here I needed to heal. I passed my Real Estate exam for the state of Florida and had my angel with me all of the way. Thank you Brande. I thought that my depression from past affairs would also heal, but that has not happened. I know it will take time and that the boys and I have family and you (our angel) out there. I spent over an hour on the phone with your heart recipient this past week. It is just so funny when she calls and says. You have been on my mind and in my heart. (Your heart little one). Your little brothers are growing up fast. Reece is so smart. He has letters from senators telling him how smart he is. Myles is smart too, he would just rather play. He has to make A's & B's. They are very loving to me and I think of you often holding them when they were just babies. On the up side, Joe, your favorite cousin, is getting married in December. He has a beautiful fiancee and I know you would be proud of him. You would definitely be in the wedding. Of course you will be there. I will take you with me and set a little part of you free in Boston. Our hearts are healing and our love for you is everywhere we go. I am just so happy to have My Angel and My God looking out for me. It started raining when I started writing. Thank you for the tears from heaven. I love and miss you my sweet baby girl. We all do. Love MOM </span></i><br />

<i><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Happy Thanksgiving Everyone. I feel very blessed this year. We have a new home and will spend Christmas at home for the first time since Brande Left us. The boys are doing really well in school and the transition to their new schools has been positive. I can't believe how much better I feel seeing the ocean instead of the hospital only 1/2 mile from our old home in Shreveport where Brande left us. I really love our new home, the people and the sunsets most of all. </span></span></i><br />

<i><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">I received a call from Barbara Larson, Brande's Heart Recipient on Brande's Birthday Nov, 3. She is doing well but it is very cold in Wisconsin. I told her to let me know when she is ready to fly to FL. I hope it is soon. I cannot wait to see her. She is still working to hard, running too fast and volunteering at the school teaching little ones to read. I just love her so much. </span></span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></i>
<i><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Louis Smith, Brande's Liver Recipient is still living in Gulf Port MS and doing very well. He has a new grand baby boy on the way. He just had a birthday and is doing well. I hope he will come see us. We might just make a trip that way in a month or two. Hate to mess up these guys hunting and fishing schedules. </span></span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></i>
<i><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">My mom and dad are doing fine in TX. I will miss them for Thanksgiving this year, but the boys really want to spend the holidays off the road. We will be going to Glenda's for Lunch on Thanksgiving and will be home for Christmas. I just made a trip to Tyler last week and loved to see my parents. </span></span></i><br />

<i><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">As for Rolex and Jazzy, Jasmine's Valentine kiss, Brande's little dog passed away on Nov 17th, 2013. We buried her in our new yard next to a tree we planted for Brande. The boys were away spending the night and when they came home our son Reece dug her up and made us all cry again. He said he had to say goodbye. He wrote a note and had us all sign it, put it under her collar and we buried her again. It is really hard to loose the things that keep us connected to our loved ones. This is why I love having my daughters recipients in contact. It gives me an unbelievable comfort knowing that they carry a part of her with them. </span></span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">New, news, I am now a Realtor with RMI Realtors at the Pensacola Beach Office in in FL. I Received my license in Sept and have made two sales so far. I am excited about my future here and the staff could not be better. These are the things I am thankful for this year. Love Sherry </span></span></i>Sherry Denson Sellers Brande Nicole Densonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02317376338025045047noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4133747288336305728.post-37177242206693213742013-07-11T08:57:00.001-07:002013-07-11T08:57:24.236-07:00Amy Moody again!<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So now she is in Jail. I called and spoke to her dead mother. She was in tears as I explained what Amy had done to me and my family. After Amy was gone the boys told me that she threatened them and they were afraid to tell me. I also spoke to Regina Robers who is the grandmother of Amy's son that she never told me she had. I truly hope that they keep her out of the public. She is a very disturbed young woman and needs mental help. I am just grateful that she did not hurt my boys and that I am not in jail, because if she had I would be. I guess that is why she was on welfare. She must have told them that she had a son. Anyway, please pray for her family. The son she does not claim needs a great deal of prayer with a parent who could be a harm to him. If she would lie to and threaten my children, not tell me she has one, tell me her parents are dead I fear what she might do to her own. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b><br /></b><i>I have experienced on of the most frightening and sad encounters of my life. When I met Amy Moody she was sad from loosing a recent job and from loosing her parents in an auto accident. They were returning from a cruise to the Bahama's and had a wreck and died coming home from the Ship. She told me that she was a Dr. That she had a degree as a chiropractor and was working out of her small condo to make ends meet. She told me that her sister was a drug addict and that Amy had to raise her sisters children while she was in jail. She explained that when the sister was released that the children called Amy mom and the sister never spoke to her again. She told me she was hungry and had no money to spare. I took her to pay her electric bill and helped her find a job at a chiropractic clinic. Bought her flowers on her first day fed her breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. Convinced her to date and checked on her because she was scared with no mom to check on her<br /><br /> <br /><br /> She let me to believe that she was the same age as Brande Nicole Denson, the daughter I lost 4 years ago due to an accident. She even started crying one day when I wore a Nassau shirt I picked up on a cruise with a company I work with. She began to cry because her parents were in Nassau the last time they were alive. She told me not to talk to her neighbor because the young woman was Bi Polar, and was seeing a psychiatrist twice a week. Amy and the young woman's family feared that she would hurt or kill her children and Amy was watching them closely. I went by the woman's condo and she came out to say hello but I avoided her.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> AFTER LOOSING HER JOB IN ONE WEEK. Amy told me on many nights that she was fine and alone getting some rest when I checked on her, but the next morning she was leaving with a young man in her car and a few nights he was addressed by people watching over their children and told us that he was up visiting Amy Moody. After one week at the new job Amy Moody was fired. I told her she did not have to tell me lies about the young man in her apt. I was just worried about her and she was a grown woman. She DISAPPEARED two days later and wold not speak to me afterwards. Three days later she arrived in the middle of the night to move her things and not speak to anyone. She had a key to my condo, SHE STOLE CLOTHING, MONEY AND OVER $175,00 IN FACIAL PRODUCTS FROM ME. <br /><br /> <br /><br /> She also ask two other middle aged women if she could call them mom, Stole over $400.00 from one purse at a church from what I have been told and has access to more than one home. <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br />She was doing chiropractic services out of her condo charging anywhere from $25-$50.00 an adjustment. She flashed some type of diploma at me and of course I believed that she was licensed. I later found that she screamed at my son when he made a joke using the line" Yo Mama! My older son said he was afraid to tell me when she was around because she was really mean to his younger brother. Screaming at him because her mother was presumably dead. This turned my stomach. I explained to her before this ever happened how hard it has been for me and my boys since they lost their sister. My youngest suffered so badly and moving here was our new beginning. For her to make him feel so bad about a mother she never lost made me want to slap her. I probably would if I see her again. I was told that she was ENGAGED TO A PILOT FROM THE AFB. That he beat her and caused her to have a MISCARRIAGE. I just want anyone who lives in Pensacola Florida or Lexington Tennessee to be aware of her and her sickness. She is a very beautiful girl, 5'9, long hair, very smart and manipulative. She will lie to get anything she can from you and your family. DO NOT TRUST THIS YOUNG WOMAN. </i></span>Sherry Denson Sellers Brande Nicole Densonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02317376338025045047noreply@blogger.com0Pensacola, FL, USA30.42130899999999 -87.216914930.311804999999989 -87.3782764 30.530812999999991 -87.055553400000008tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4133747288336305728.post-86952379558114403902013-02-08T13:06:00.003-08:002013-05-09T10:15:34.784-07:00My Collegues <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It has been a great experience for me. I have managed to get into the community and sign people up as Organ Eye & Tissue donors and have learned so much about Corneal Transplants.
I have spent many hours on the phone with Brande's Heart Recipient and I miss her very much. I hate that she is so far away in Wisconsin, but it is so great for me to know that she is doing great.
Her sister Marianne made me a beautiful scarf for Christmas and I just love their whole family so much. We went to visit this past summer of 2012. The boys had a great time and so did I.

We fly her and her sister Maryanne here to Shreveport Louisiana each year in November for the LOPA picnic. Here Barbara is being interviewed by Glenda from the Shreveport times. After the picnic we stayed at the Omni in Dallas and visited the 6th street Museum and the Aquarium.

We had a great turnout at First United Methodist Church in Shreveport where we are now members. The kids absolutly love the program and have lots of friends there. Brande & I (because she is with me when I speak) spoke about her death and her giving life to those in need of organ transplants. It was very emotional for me, but God and my angel give me the strenght to do what I need to make people aware of the importance of organ donation. Everyone in the class was very supportive of the presentation and the fact that without faith we have nothing. Focus not on what you have lost, but on what you have left. Go Brande!<br /><br />Next: I sent valentines to my mom in Tyler TX and our Heart Recipient Barbara in Phelps WI and transposed the address's. Silly me, anyway, getting there quite late Barbara calls me to thank me and says. " I got the valentine and the sexy pink and black socks. Where do you suppose a 67 year old woman would wear them? I told her Brande would love them and she could wear them with jeans just about anywhere. We laughed. She told me she had meant to call sooner and I told her the timing could not have been better because it was my birhtday when she called and that made my day. Then she told me that just that morning she said to her hubby. I wonder when Sherry's birthday is?. How funny is that! How wonderful that she called on my birthday. I just love that girl.<br /><br />Next: I went to the DMV with Sheron Raymond from LOPA and we set up Brande's recipients photos, The lady from LA.Legacy came in wiht a huge cake and drinks and the floragraph that rode the rose parade float. What a great experience for me. The people were very kind and managed to visit what little they could between desks. I think it was a very postitive experience for all of us. Thanks LOPA and the DMV.Sherry Denson Sellers Brande Nicole Densonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02317376338025045047noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4133747288336305728.post-1190130465397183222011-01-19T12:02:00.000-08:002013-02-08T13:23:26.119-08:00Brande's heart recipient's surgery<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpOUiZyDjXVyCA81Z6c__2ZiywzK6HowEzmirtFQ3NMJ_Sf14xShUvqKoRWHV-GDcdz627_PZFkGeUnBM_NtAe5xMhWeT_CSiuHXwNgFR1HIa6fymBrQ8DqkQZP6fsuMVDpH8x5bTILNs/s1600/Sherry%2527s+family+with+heart+recipient.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpOUiZyDjXVyCA81Z6c__2ZiywzK6HowEzmirtFQ3NMJ_Sf14xShUvqKoRWHV-GDcdz627_PZFkGeUnBM_NtAe5xMhWeT_CSiuHXwNgFR1HIa6fymBrQ8DqkQZP6fsuMVDpH8x5bTILNs/s400/Sherry%2527s+family+with+heart+recipient.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563992165330157682" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw87bg_2yVcPvWCszR7IfEBBNDoun8lCOBRPy4S2B0tNJBuzyndaPSbaCSHYNlsWtHUcAz4OaYwZcISvuvg9M6ycVTAHa_kOkFcsJA_L1K2vqTjckIKAknIa0jTNi1WSIhRkxtB4-VweE/s1600/Vacation_download_115.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw87bg_2yVcPvWCszR7IfEBBNDoun8lCOBRPy4S2B0tNJBuzyndaPSbaCSHYNlsWtHUcAz4OaYwZcISvuvg9M6ycVTAHa_kOkFcsJA_L1K2vqTjckIKAknIa0jTNi1WSIhRkxtB4-VweE/s400/Vacation_download_115.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563992023330686450" /></a><br />Barbara Larson, Brande's heart recipient fell and shattered her shoulder this past month. She was taken to Madison to have her shoulder operated on. She is back home now and doing well. I talked to her the other day and she swears Brande and her angels were right there with her the whole time. That they picked her up off of the basement floor and helped carry her up a flight and a half of stairs to the phone where she called 911 before lying down until the ambulance arrived. She could not get up after that and they said that there was no way she should have made it up those stairs with her shoulder shattered and a bad hip which she had planned to have replaced this winter. Wow. I am so glad she is okay. I adore her and her family. They mean quite a bit to me. <br /><br />On the update of my book. I have just about finished it and I am nearly ready for my copywright and print. I am very excited to have one finished and the other nearly done. I just have to have a little illistation and some touch up work now. So excited. I am certainly working on Sherry now. Making my life what it needs to be and giving back to so many who have given their time, money, love, support, ears, eyes, and thoughts to me and my mission. I love you all... thanksSherry Denson Sellers Brande Nicole Densonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02317376338025045047noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4133747288336305728.post-49939537947793377332011-01-19T11:43:00.000-08:002013-02-08T13:23:26.137-08:00Donate Life Organ and Tissue Donation Blog (sm): DONATE LIFE ORGAN DONATION AWARENESS-LOUISIANA<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaBxf4QqACIuuC7KDdDmL8huF62eoSlwCKWRJRe-kz1xvz8blv75hcZ8V2yAPMNGEe0N5U3JGny-z5h43tos9cpBxyE2atg4Au2ARmb5m2xN_JeCFSAjTxZC_JH6i9T5SSS5i3fWc1KcY/s1600/Sherry%2527s+family+with+heart+recipient.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaBxf4QqACIuuC7KDdDmL8huF62eoSlwCKWRJRe-kz1xvz8blv75hcZ8V2yAPMNGEe0N5U3JGny-z5h43tos9cpBxyE2atg4Au2ARmb5m2xN_JeCFSAjTxZC_JH6i9T5SSS5i3fWc1KcY/s400/Sherry%2527s+family+with+heart+recipient.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563985633675987346" /></a><br /><a href="http://donatelife-organdonation.blogspot.com/2010/07/donate-life-organ-donation-awareness_3930.html">Donate Life Organ and Tissue Donation Blog (sm): DONATE LIFE ORGAN DONATION AWARENESS-LOUISIANA</a>Sherry Denson Sellers Brande Nicole Densonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02317376338025045047noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4133747288336305728.post-90365894179357512342010-12-09T08:01:00.000-08:002013-02-08T13:23:26.157-08:002010<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhyphenhyphenFmfGPPNkrkZIjPOy55uJ9CEO-oGwafi0wTEmLuLmYWzcR16P7sSLrAfKwHQb7lHfhorECVW0Lh6RPCh2nfu44Ozl51pGMpI70UfB7KoxLcvkBA9nvF1ZcjYUVfqCD4d4EkzHkNxYNk/s1600/donate+life+picnic+2010.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhyphenhyphenFmfGPPNkrkZIjPOy55uJ9CEO-oGwafi0wTEmLuLmYWzcR16P7sSLrAfKwHQb7lHfhorECVW0Lh6RPCh2nfu44Ozl51pGMpI70UfB7KoxLcvkBA9nvF1ZcjYUVfqCD4d4EkzHkNxYNk/s400/donate+life+picnic+2010.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548716435169828146" /></a><br />We met Brande's heart recipient in July and she came to stay with us for a week in November of 2010.

I will copy and paste the story...So wonderful to be there with these wonderful people....<br /><br /> http://www.wjfw.com/stories.html?sku=20100712010200<br /><br />Main: General News: Local News<br /><br /> <br />Heart to Heart Submitted: 07/11/2010 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />PHELPS - It's a journey that's taken nearly 15 months and 1000 miles, but this weekend one Northwoods woman meets the family of a 19-year-old girl who saved her life.<br /><br />Barbara says,"She's saying I love you mom."<br /><br />Sherry Denson Sellers is hearing her daughters heart beat once again.<br /><br />She says, "I can hear it."<br /><br />A heart that saved Barbara Larsen's life.<br /><br />Sherry says, "That's amazing. Thank you."<br /><br />The two women met face to face for the first time this weekend.<br /><br />Sherry says, "It's like I've known her my whole life, I mean it's unbelievable that I just feel so comfortable sitting right here next to her."<br /><br />Barbara adds, "It was comfortable when I hugged her."<br /><br />A hug that's possible thanks to organ donation. Sherry's 19-year-old daughter Brande died April 22nd, 2009 from injuries in a car accident in Lousiana. But as Brande left her family, she gave new life to seven people.<br /><br />Sherry says, "My child has done more in death than I ever will in my life and that to me is unbelieveable."<br /><br />Barbara needed a new heart after suffering a heart attack. She waited for nearly a year, trying an experimental machine to keep her alive. And on April 23rd, 2009 she got the call.<br /><br />Barbara says, "They had a heart for me. They had to get me to Eagle River real fast, onto an airplane down to Madison, which an ambulance then took me to the hospital and that night after midnight they put my heart in."<br /><br />Sherry adds, "I knew from the moment my daughter went to heaven, I would meet her."<br /><br />But the meeting almost didn't happen.<br /><br />Barbara says, "I was so worried what is this mother going to think with her daughter's 20-year-old heart in my body."<br /><br />Sherry says, "She said I was scared because of my age and I said I don't care if you're 102, if your heart's beating, I am so happy."<br /><br />A happiness that's also shared by Barbara's son.<br /><br />Brian Musial says, "I cannot thank them enough for how much they've helped her and I would ask everybody, for Brande, to sign the back of your license and become an organ donor."<br /><br />One heart, bringing two families together. <br /><br />Both Sherry and Barbara are now both involved in promoting organ donation.<br /><br />Sherry says one organ donor can save up to 50 lives.<br /><br />If you'd like more information about how to become an orgatn donor you can click on the links below.<br /><br /><br />Related Weblinks: LOPA: Louisiana Organ Procurement Agency www.lopa.org<br /><br />Donate Life Wisconsin<br />Donate Life WebsiteSherry Denson Sellers Brande Nicole Densonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02317376338025045047noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4133747288336305728.post-60559119675201082542010-04-05T12:51:00.000-07:002013-02-08T13:23:26.143-08:00Shreveport Bossier Christian FamilyThe Shreveport Bossier Christian Family is a small newspaper magazine in our community. It offers christian information on many subjects and this month it was all about Organ Donation. What an awesome article they wrote about our angel and the gift of life she has provided by being an organ donor. I read the article and it is totally awesome. Brande is our hero and like so many has helped save many lives across the nation. The whole magazine is filled with hero's such as she. You can review it online by clicking on the web address below at <a href="http://bluetoad.com/publication/?i=35034">http://bluetoad.com/publication/?i=35034</a> on page 12 & 13. You know, Brande's accident happened a year ago 4/12/2009 and it was Easter Sunday. We did not cook dinner this year. My nephew Joe Montrosse came down and took care of mom and I. We went out to dinner with my husband Phillip, our boys,Myles and Reece, mom and pop too. First time I have ever had Mexican food for Easter. We tend to do funny things when the chair at the table sitting empty.<br />I know that she is still with me, but gees, I miss holding her and hugging her and picking on her when she Would do silly things. My memories will always be treasured and always be happy, but this was hard for me. I remember her hiding eggs with me last year for the boys, and taking them to First Baptist Church with me for an egg hunt on Saturday that was already over when we got there. The youth minister and a few people at the church ended up putting out more eggs just for our family. That was really memorable and fun. it was the day before her accident and my last day to look into her smiling face and see my baby girl. What a wonderful day we had together. I am praying for a celebration of her life on the 22nd of April. This is the day she passed and I do not want to be alone, So I am thinking of things to do that day with my children. My husband will be leaving me that week for a trip with the school and I need lots of prayer. If you have any suggestions please leave them in a comment for me. Thanks and lots of love....

I wrote letters and short stories. I dreamed of being a writer and speaking to huge crowds. of what subject I did not know but I knew I would write. It was only after the death of my youngest daughter that I quit working and started living. I still make money, but it is for helping people, not for working. I am currently helping a few girls in an H&R Block tax office because they needed a file clerk, receptionist, coffee maker, floor cleaner, trash handler, etc. I was just sitting at home in a vortex of endless cleaning and laundry when I decided to let go and help someone other than myself. I will only be here until the end of the tax season and then I will help someone else. Who knows I may even finish this book. </div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>I have read a number of books since Brande went to heaven. She now shares her energy with me and so many others in this nation. I am overwhelmed by her presence and her love. She gives me peace and visits me in my dreams. It is truly amazing when you let yourself go and just accept the notion that people really can and do communicate after the release of the body. Now Brande's organs are being used to help other people survive on earth. We have some pretty odd stories about that too. You will find some things quite ironic and sweetened by her touch throughout the book. </div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>This book is not about Brande though. it will refer to her because she has given my life purpose, but the reality of this book is about all of us. What we are, who we are, what we are meant for and why we exist. </div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>XXXX</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>What do you need from the time you are conceived? Help, that's what. You need help from your mom to take care of her body and you from the time you are conceived until you are born and then some. My youngest boys who are now 7 and 9 still think I should do most everything for them. Well, today I made them fix their own lunch. What a mom. I helped them with the bread and removed a few things from the fridge and the cabinets and they did the rest. Now if they have lunch in those bags it will be a great accomplishment and they will have helped someone. Who? why themselves of course. When you help yourself accomplish something you grow stronger and feel better about who you are. We really have to be careful when we help ourselves sometimes, because we also tend to become full of ourselves. It is like something I learned from Dr. Wayne Dyer and the Shift. When we let our ego take over we are Edging God Out of our lives. This is by the way a wonderful book, and movie. I was walking through the den one day and the TV was on QVC which I never watch because it is harmful to women. I heard a man talking about your life changing and you never being the same. I don't know what hit me, I do too. It was God telling me to listen, because otherwise I would have walked right by and exited the room. I listened to him talk for about two minutes and I called to place my order for the book, 6 Cd's and the video. It came in about a week and I tried to watch it. I found myself too busy with work, kids and dinner to watch it. My husband watched it and told me he absolutely loved the video. I finally went to bed and put it in a small DVD player and watched the video. I have been listening to the audio books every day in my car. I recommend it very highly. You see I am doing what God intended. I am helping people by recommending Dr. Dyer's books. He is not paying me. I don't even know if he will let me write this but I love his work and I hope he approves. </div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>My change or Shift as the Dr. mentions I believe happened for me when my daughter Brande Nicole Denson died due to a brain stem injury on April 22, 2009. Brande was born on 11/3/1989 in Texas where her dad and two sisters still live. She has two older sisters who I have been gifted to love for the past 26 years. The oldest having 3 boys and the next getting married in San Antonio in Sept 2010. Brande and her sisters helped me and each other with love and reinforcements in support. Although I was the baby of a herd, I loved babies and kids. Heck I still do. When I married Brande's father I became an instant mom and helper. I helped their father get them to school, to dinner, gymnastics, ballet, tap, jazz, and whatever else they were into at the time. I think the most important thing I have learned so far is that I did help them and they helped me. They helped me realize that I was worth something. I did not feel that growing up and i caused myself a lot of grief because I could not grasp my self worth. I know now that I never had to doubt that I could be loved. I just had to love myself first. First and foremost we have to learn to love ourselves. To give ourselves the time we need to sit back and realize our mission is about help. It must begin with helping the helper. You are in fact that person. You were born to help others and have been doing it all of your life. Even a drug dealer helps others. He does not help them for the right reasons. He helps the weak remain weak by selling them drugs. He is helping suppress their true self, but he is helping. Some parents I know help their children finish their projects, clean their room, do their laundry and much much more. A woman falls into a mothers role and believes this is her purpose. What she is doing is helping her family, but they can also help her by taking on responsibilities and doing things themselves. Helping themselves by helping her. </div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>I have been very blessed to have met a variety of people in my life with different values and ideas of helping others. One woman who walks down my street 4 blocks with groceries to help an elderly lady when she herself is 65-75 years old. I pick her up when I see her and take her to her destination. When i ask her why she is walking she tells me she is taking care of her elderly friend as if she is only 25 years old herself. What an inspiration for me. I can only hope if my earthly body is here as long as hers I will feel 25 years old. </div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>Another friend bought a horse in Arabia and had it shipped here to her daughter. She has a huge home and her kids are fairly spoiled, but they are very kind people and it saddens me when people treat them unkind because of jealousy. I think most women comment on her because they see the way her husband treats her like a princess and they may not get the same treatment at home. Sure, she can be full of herself sometimes, but she always makes it a point to speak and I could call her anytime and ask for her help and she would either be there or send me help. </div><br /><br /><div>Regardless of if you are wealthy or penniless, it is what is in your heart that makes you who you are. I tease her about being spoiled and call her my media whore because she is always in the paper but I love her dearly and know she constantly helps people including me. </div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>Another person I admire more than words can say is my mom. she lived her life with a strong sense of chi</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>Their mission it seemed the older she got was to help her with experiences they thought she should avoid that they learned lessons from. Back to helping through everything we do. We seem to help people or ourselves weather we realize it or not in everything we do. </div><br /><br /><br /><br /><p>Fear comes into our lives when we least expect it.</p><br /><br /><br /><br /><p>Brande was in an automobile accident on Sunday, April 12th and arrived at the LSU hospital unconscious and remains that way for the past 96 hours.Brande's condition has not made any majors changes from Wednesday. Wednesday, she did move her right arm voluntarily and responded to Sherry's voice with a noticeable increase in blood pressure. She has been cleaned up by her nurses and she looks terrific for her circumstances.Her current status has her resting well under sedation but today they are looking at placing a treach tube and remove the respirator tube so that it is easier to manipulate. Additional, they are looking at her potassium levels which are high. Her pituitary gland is not operating properly and they are working on controlling it with meds until further information is available. They have removed her brain pressure tube but left in the drain to continue the relief of pressure. Also, her sedative medication is being decreased to allow her to wake up on her own but they still have reservation about how she will react to waking up and not knowing where she is and fear that she might struggle during that period. We still want her to remain motionless.We want to thank everyone across the nation for their constant prayers as God has taken over and placed her in his hands for her full recovery. Our friends and family at Kings Highway Christian Church, and South field School have been invaluable in their support and prayer in the helping and healing of our wonderful daughter.Continued update will follow. Current time- 1:00pm Thur., April </p><br /><br /><br /><p><a href="http://brandesupdate.blogspot.com/2009/04/wednesday-april-212009.html">Wednesday, April 21,2009</a><br />Brande has been taken off of the paralytic and the sedatives to see if she will wake. She has not been responsive so far. I met with her surgeons and there is no way to operate, so we are hoping for a miracle. They went through her MRI and showed me the damage that has been done and the difficulty of the situation. I had to find a hiding place today to pray. I ask God to tell me what to do. Two lovely women were sent to me to tell me to Get into a place and ask for strength and peace, for guidance and direction. I found a lot of peace in this scripture/ Hebrews 11:1-2-3 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. By faith we understand that the worlds, were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.I am comforted to know that Brande is here for a reason bigger than my expectations of her. I just want to thank God first for giving me 19 wonderful years with my girl so far, and thank all of you who have prayers for her, me and my family. My heart is full of gratefulness for the love and support I receive each day. Please know without it I would collapse. We are swamped with calls of love each day. Please know today I had to just set my phone aside so please do not feel offended if I do not answer. I do hear your messages and read your text. I also feel your love and kindness each day.love Sherry</p><br /><br /><br /><p><a href="http://brandesupdate.blogspot.com/2009/04/brande-nicole-denson-our-hero.html">Brande Nicole Denson Our Hero</a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsBLqt7OnW5XR9lwW9It6KJQf9tLBki5Y4SBmgiMrOX2SALZuImgCxpXrmfuPhNAWsZvLrziZiyjDOGY0TG19gCKpiR1hdP72vk7ZAopsbqPmgK2bgos3M9EFypyhW5pAdW3CquGH98xE/s1600-h/brande+graduation+013.jpg"></a>I remember so clearly Brande's 17th birthday. She got out of bed and came into the kitchen where I was doing my daily whatever moms do. I ask her what she wanted to do for her birthday and she replied. I want to go and give blood with you mom. What a great gift to give on someone's birthday. So not about her.... I am so proud of Brande and will have information on the people she has helped by donating her organs. My little girl is quite the hero and i love her. Please keep her recipients in your prayers that they might be healed by Gods loving grace and Brande's giving heart. sherryhttp://www.lopa.org/heroes.html Thank you for your heartfelt concern and all of your love for our daughter.Sherry Denson Sellers</p><br /><p>You know what pleases me more than anything is now I realize that no matter what I do I am helping someone. Weather it is giving up a spot in a parking lot or buying lunch. Now I do not mean to say you should buy your family or kids MC whatever s every day. Fast food is just not good for you. It is filled with MSG and other things that will not help you in a good way at all. I am a fairly good mom. I do not allow cola's in my home. </p><br /><br />I cannot say what will happen tomorrow but I know what I have learned so far is only a small part of what I have yet to learn. one thing I read today came from an interpretation of the Dow Te Chen<br /><br />Fill your bowl to the brim<br />and it will spill.<br />Keep sharpening your knife<br />and it will blunt.<br />Chase after money and security<br />and your heart will never unclench.<br />Care about people's approval<br />and you will be their prisoner.<br /><br />Do your work, then step back.<br />The only path to serenity.<br /><br />So, If I want to become whole,<br />I must let myself be partial.<br /> <br />If I want to become straight,<br />I must let myself be crooked.<br /><br />If I want to become full,<br />I must let myself be empty.<br /><br />If I want to be reborn,<br />I must let myself die.<br /><br />If I want to be given everything,<br />I must give everything up.<br /><br />Not that I should become a bum and live in the streets, but to know that I can live without the things I have coveted has changed my life. I have yet to give more than I have been given and that is my goal. I think when you can give more than you have been given you have given everything. Now, I do not mean giving up my couch or my kids tuition. I mean giving from within. For instance. I was raised into a good home and family. We did not have much but we had each other. I have blocked the teen years when I was abused and molested by people who did not belong in my life and who my family never believed would do such a thing. I searched my heart and let those pains go. I know what good things have come to me in my life. I always knew they would. I have had big homes, dogs, cats, kids, cars, money, travel, boats, and more. The only things of those mentioned that ever made me feel good all the time were the dogs, cats, kids and travel. I am not just talking about my kids either. I am talking about the kids I have met through my kids, through my church, and most of all through volunteering my time at the schools and hospitals. If you have ever volunteered for a children s hospital and met a parent who could not get a moment away until you arrived you would know exactly what I mean. Help is only possible if we realize that we can and should apply it to every content of our being. <br /><br />What happend to me this morning was just a small gesture, but it helped a lady feel better who obviously forgot my name at a place I frequent. Now some people would get mad and feel shunned if they are forgotten, but I have learned to look for a smile. I know her name very well and when she came for me to sign the check for breakfast she could not read my scribble and had to ask my first name. I told her and as she began to apologize I piped up and stopped her. I simply put it. I would rather see you smile at me when I come in without knowing my name than know my name and frown when I show up. She smiled at me and agreed and I think it made both of us feel better. You see, letting someone know you are no higher or lower in status from them makes you feel good whether waiting tables or sitting in a corporate chair. <br /><br />More words translated from the toa DE Chang<br /><br />weather going up the ladder <br />or down the ladder <br />the journey is shaky<br />but with both feet planted <br />on the ground you are steady. <br /><br />I find that concentrating on positive affirmation and good works makes me feel much better than being saddened by life or the things I hear about or encounter each day. When Easter came this year I did not want to be home. I did not want to touch the empty chair my child would normally occupy on Easter Sunday. I did not want to think about the blueberry pancakes we had last Easter for breakfast, or that it was the last breakfast we would ever share. Instead I went to a hotel and forced the rest of my family to have dinner in a Mexican restaurant and an Easter egg hunt for my boys in the hotel room. I know how much fun we have had in the past and I need to focus on this, but what an eye opener when you look back and see how selfish you can be sometimes. I know a lot of people will tell me I am not being selfish, but I am. When I want to pout that is being selfish in my book. I should be celebrating her chance to help others and focus on that. Focus on helping my family have a wonderful holdiay with their mother instead of thinking of my own feelings and making them sleep in hotels and eat in restaurants on Easter. It was pretty good food though. I must admit everyone seemed to be happy with the fair. Weather it was saving face for me or that they were truly okay, I feel that my selfishness created my sadness and I have to work on that. <br /><br />Sometimes when we think we have it all figured out! How many times have we heard or said that one. Or, here's a good one. If I only knew then what I know now. That is something you hear yourself repeating when you become your parents age and your kids become you. Wow. How trusting we are of God and our parents until we begin to experience the intelligence we mistake for responsibility. We think we know it all and somehow we cannot keep promises, dates, term paper schedules, or much of anything having to do with being responsible. Those are the teen years into college. They are what they called the best days of our lives in a song. <br /><br />I called a friend for coffee but she is always running a little behind in the am. We talked for a moment and it turned into 20. Have you ever done that? If you are female the common answer will be yes. She laid her heart on me about a child who is what she felt was picking on her child who is very meek, which more than not people concider a weakness. After listening to what this child is doing falling down and crying if her son will not play with him, then being abusive by words and action when he gives in. I told her It sounds to me like manipulation. This child has learned to get attention by manipulating people which probably includes his parents. The she told me about a dream she had with children being manipulated by adults. Now I do not know if the dream was telling her something or not, but I think believing what you learn and holding fast to the positive affirmation of things is best. I once heard someone say that a bad man is a good mans job and a good man is a bad mans teacher. It makes complete sense to me. I try to be a light for those I encounter and as God shine for all to see. <br /><br />In the bible it tells us we are made of God, we are to be God Like, so when you ask where are you God? conciser this, Where is he not?. <br /><br />My question for you today is this. When you feel compelled to do something what do you end up doing. So many times I have felt like there is something I needed to do and I did not do it. I refrained from it for one reason or another. I do not always know why, but mostly out of fear. I know that there have been so many times in my life when I worried about doing something because it either would not work out in my head, my heart or it would be embarrassing if it failed or was not accepted. I can honestly say that today I follow those urges, instincts, drives, or whatever you want to call them. I have felt so good since I started. Things just seem to work out when you know in your heart and soul that it is something you need to follow. You will know too. You have the capability of many things you do not realize you have inside you. <br /><br />I for instance could have never written a book in the 80's. So, I say. I use the excuse of spell check. Being dyslexic I felt it necessary to use excuses when I had trouble overcoming something. I now understand that I could have written a book in the 80's. I could do anything then that I can do now. I just did not realize what was inside of me. When you see a kid like Tiger Woods who start playing with passion at three or four years old you realize that they have desire and they are doing what they love. When you see a woman who is raising a family with love in her heart and happiness in her eyes you know she is doing what she loves. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div>Sherry Denson Sellers Brande Nicole Densonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02317376338025045047noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4133747288336305728.post-62504960509186313542010-03-23T14:29:00.000-07:002013-02-08T13:23:26.145-08:00Thanking the Louisiana Lions Eye BankThe Shreveport Lions Eye Bank<br />721 Boulevard<br />Shreveport, LA 71104<br /><br />Dear Christina, Paula and The staff at the Lions Eye Bank:<br /><br />Please accept my greatest appreciation for your work in aiding me with the information on Brande’s Eye Recipients. I was so excited to hear that her eyes helped restore or improve someone’s vision. I think about it and wonder. If we were all blind would there be prejudice? I only know this. We know not what we can loose until we are faced with the challenge of regaining what we have lost. This is never easy, but knowing that by giving her organs Brande helped not one, but two people with vision problems makes me even more proud of my angel. I know you would have liked her. Everyone seemed to smile when she was in their midst.<br /> We have her heart recipient in Phelps WI who is 66 years old. Her name is Barbara Larson and I will meet her in June 2010. She will also be here for the LOPA donor picnic at the State Fair of LA on Nov 6, 2010. I have also invited her Liver recipient Louis Smith from Gulf Port MS and his wife Charlotte who we met at the picnic last year on 11/7/2010. Brande was born 11/3/1989 and the state fair is where she spent most every birthday for the last 10 years. We have Kerry from LA who has her pancreas and right kidney, Serita from TX who has her left kidney, one man from Shreveport who has ligaments from her legs who can now walk after a motorcycle accident, and many others, including the two people in Ensenada and Tijuana Mexico I have yet to meet.<br />Wow. Now we celebrate one of her birthdays in Nov and so many more through her recipients. We have her hearts new birthday on April 24th, Barbara’s Dec 22 and her liver’s new birthday on April 23rd. We can now have new birthdays for her eyes and their recipients if we can find out the dates. It gives me so much to look forward to.<br /> I am looking for employment in the field of donation, educating and supporting families faced with donation decisions. So, please if you find that your company has any openings I am a very hard worker and very passionate about what organ donation can do for everyone involved. I have worked in the public as an office manager<br /> I would love to speak for your company on any occasion if you would just let me know. April will be a difficult month and because Brande had her accident on 4/12/2009, her accent to heaven 4/22/2009 I will have a lot to remember. The more I share about her, the better I feel inside. I will never fear her leaving only stand in awe of her accomplishments. She is my daughter, my angel, and so much more to me and so many others. What more can I say. Please read about Brande at the following web addresses where there are photos of our girl posted also.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.lopa.org/heroes.html">http://www.lopa.org/heroes.html</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.brandesupdate.blogspot.com/">http://www.brandesupdate.blogspot.com</a> .<br /><br />sherrydensonsellers@facebook.com<br /><br />God speed and blessings to all.<br /> <br />Sherry Denson Sellers<br />1055 Southfield Road<br />Shreveport, LA 71106<br />318-294-9051 or 318-868-7190Sherry Denson Sellers Brande Nicole Densonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02317376338025045047noreply@blogger.com3
