Well, I can't believe it is Mother's Day already and nearing an end at that. Church went well and seeing all the little ones parading around the sanctuary was neat. They are so cute and there are so many of them too. I had a thought of Carleigh not being with us, and it made me sad for a quick moment. but, then a whisper of "Be thankful for what I do have and that what I have is here and healthy" And the little voice is right. Can't change what is but can move forward and enjoy the moments we do have. After all, what is better for Carleigh than being in the best place there ever is, HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!! It's just the steps I was told about, moving forward and then back. I think it will be that way till this life is over. And that is OK each day gets better.
God will be blessing our family with Holly and Anthony's new little girl, Lainey Iris this year and we are so grateful and blessed beyond words. It makes this Mother's Day more special and helps me to realize what being a Mother is all about.
It is the joy and everything that goers with it. Life is not easy and we all have our own trials and tribulations but God is SO good to us all and we just have to keep on loving and giving as HE would.

Anniversary
Wow, Yesterday John and I celebrated our 31 wedding anniversary!!!!!!! We went to the Steer Barn in Upper Sandusky to celebrate thanks to Brian and Dana. Thanks for the gift certificate. As we were heading there I looked at him and said "Well, this time 31 years ago we were getting married". doesn't seem like it has been that long ago but if you ask him he would tell you longer I am sure. Men................ But, the years have been good to us and we are so blessed. God has provided our every need, given us 2 beautiful daughters, 2 wonderful son-in-laws, and VERY precious grandchildren. Sad that we have a granddaughter in heaven before us but God only knows the reason why and I wont question it, it is his plan. I am thankful for meeting her and look forward to the day I can hold her again.
Memories of the wedding were flooding me as we were driving to Upper and putting a smile on my face as I looked at this man across from me whom I love more than anything here on earth. Who says Blind dates don't work? We are living proof that it does. Anything will work if you want it bad enough and willing to work at it. Marriages would all work, if everyone wanted it bad enough and worked hard at it. I am in awe of people who celebrate 50 and more and look forward to that, God willing.
So happy Anniversary my darling and may we have many, many more to come. I love you with all my heart and it grows deeper every day of every year. You are truly my gift from God.
