Sons (and daughters) are a heritage from the Lord,
children a reward from him.
I have always felt blessed by God. You, each one, have surpassed my expectations. You are God -fearing , courageous, generous, forgiving ( and I am thankful for this fact!) insightful, inspirational, hard working, committed. I have truly been blessed! This time of year causes me to reflect on the past, we've come a long way, ten years to be exact Ten years.......I close my eyes and I am standing in the living room with Eric and Blake fixing Barney for them, I can smell the Christmas tree and the sweet smell of fudge, the sun is shining . . . . there's a knock at the door. You all know the pain that followed when I opened that door. Here we are ten years from then, together, the sun is shining the air is fridged, but our hearts are warm we have each other we are strong we have a grand future. Will there be heart ache, loss, suffering, and pain again? The answer is yes but we have each other and most important we belong to God who stands with us through all things. It has been tough , but today I want you all to know how sorry I am for the mistakes I made and to remember just how proud I am of all of you. Each one of you make me proud.Each one of you feels my heart with joy. I can hardly wait for everyone to be here for CHRISTMAS........ where we will laugh, talk, eat , and add to the heart of our family new memories. I love you..........
