Katelyn, my dear friend’s daughter, stopped by with her new hubby Josh to say “goodbye” before they left for Canada!  Yes, Canada!  Kate met Josh on eHarmony and it has been love, love, love ever since!   The hug goodbye was so much more emotional than I expected….I still see Katelyn as a little girl, swinging and running through the yard….imagining her over a thousand miles away seems unreal to me.  Hopefully, we will see them at Christmastime! ![]()
I came home Saturday afternoon to find Olivia preparing for an attack on the spiders on our front porch….she is so funny!  I had to snap this picture before she got away!![]()
Olivia and her friend Addey helped Tim stain our pool deck Sunday afternoon…how do you like Olivia’s paint brush as they finished???? ![]()
Tonight, as I sat working on some vocabulary centers for tomorrow at school, I couldn’t help but smile when I looked at Olivia on the couch with Domino and Dash…all three sleeping soundly.
I’m thankful for times like these……….I want to soak them up,
because one day Olivia will be all grown up like the boys and like Katelyn, and these are the moments I will miss the most…..
I just had to get this recorded for my sake,
					

 
 
 
 
 
 
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache.  My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven!
