Memorable Moments (written May 13, 2013)

Saturday, was a very emotional day. It was Isaiah's 14 birthday and my family and I went to WV. Many know Isaiah's story. He is a miracle. He was born at 24 weeks, weighing just a little over a pound. Spent almost 5 months in Neonatal ICU. God is so good. He can turn the bleakest situation around. Isaiah weighs over 120 pounds and hasn't had any major health problems since he was 2 years old. I know what God can do!!!!!! Saturday, my kids help me mount Paula's' headstone for her grave. This was something we wanted and needed to do for her. It was a special moment. Cricket even helped spread the concrete. I have great kids and they truly loved their mother. Each time I go to her grave, it still seems so impossible she is gone. Thank God, he gives us all the strength, to keep pressing on. I have the blessed assurance and hope I will see my sweet Babydoll again on Heaven's shore. I spent some time with Paula's family, getting caught up on how everyone's doing. Yet, I enjoyed the time Cricket, Ian, Kassie, Isaiah, and myself just making some new memories. I have some precious kids. Sunday was Mother's Day and I am blessed with a great mom. She has been a prayer warrior for me my whole life. She is the epitome of Proverbs 31 virtuous women. She has always been there for me and I thank God each day for my Mom. I also have a great mother-in law. She is another prayer warrior and has always been there to listen to me when I couldn't talk to anybody. I am truly blessed. They have made great memories in my life. Tomorrow, my son Robert, leaves for the Army reserves. Another memorable moment. I have seen Robert grow from being my little bubby to a father of his precious baby girl Lilly. I am proud of Robert. I know tomorrow will be emotional day for us all, but I am sure it will be another one of those memorable moments, I am thank God for all the memorable moments that I hold dear. I am so blessed with such a great bunch of kids and family. I am looking forward to new memories everyday.
