We have been very blessed this year. God has been extremely merciful to us, and we are constantly reminded of that every time we look into 4 beautiful little faces. However, we realize the magnitude of our blessings in comparison to our fear, heartache and disappointment.
2008 has been a very challenging year.
The ordeal with Rachel has become a part of our everyday lives, but it didn't start out as that. It started out first, not knowing if she would even live and then, not sure what kind of limitations she would have. We faced the fear of the unknown, the worst kind of fear. Thankfully, her limitations are few. Yes, Rachel's feet don't work and never will (of course, with the advancements of modern technology, you never know). Her Spina Bifida is a lifelong condition and she'll never "get better". But, we are learning to live with this new kind of normal.
My mom has faced a horrendous struggle with cancer for the second time, but she continues to get stronger and better each day.
Yes, we have a lot to be thankful for this year. God has been so gracious to us, yet I have never been more ready to turn the page on the calendar and begin anew. GOOD BYE 2008!!!
Happy new year to you all, and here's to GREAT THINGS in 2009!
