3 Years

June 10th marks 3 years of new life for me.  What a miracle.  Every day, every month, every year that passes by makes me feel so grateful and so scared at the same time.  Thrilled that I have had that many more opportunities to be with my family and scared that I am getting closer to the scary statistics.  It truly is a bittersweet thing to see the days go by.  As I tell so many people, I just feel beyond blessed to be a part of my kid’s lives, and I can’t even begin to say how much I am looking forward to another 6 months and another year, etc.

My year has been fairly uneventful.  I did have a stint in the hospital for a few days with some heart issues, but those seemed to have been a fluke.  Other than that, I have had minor issues…nothing to complain about.  Keep the prayers coming, and thank you for all of your love and support!

Thank you Jesus for another year.  And speaking of thanking Jesus, here are some journal entries my kids wrote about 7 months ago that I never want to forget.  Those 2 boys of mine are miracles to me, and they are well beyond their years in understanding.  Their grateful hearts help me to remember each day to be thankful for all that I have been given.  I asked them the question, “Tell me about a miracle in your family.”  Here were their precious answers.
