national adoption month

how fitting that november, the month of thanks, is also national adoption month! this month i am thankful for and celebrating the three little lives that are mine through the blessing of adoption! each one is an answered prayer!

We witness a miracle every time a child enters into life.
But those who make their journey home across time & miles,
growing within the hearts of those who wait to love them,
are carried on the wings of destiny and placed among us
by God's very own hands.

another angel in heaven

rest in peace now my sweet, sweet grandma ...

our God called my grandma to be with HIM, in the comfort of his arms where there is no more pain and sickness. i am sure my grandpa was standing with arms wide open ready to greet her.

i can't even begin to describe the absolute angel my grandma truly was. sweet in every possible way. always greeted us with a smile. prayed everyday for everyone of us. raised nine 9 children in the strong catholic faith. loved all of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren immensely. loved to laugh and never ever said a "bad" word and made sure anyone who did was aware of it with her little scolding. ;)

grandma, we all will miss you soo much! i am so happy i was able to spend your last days at your side. go now with grandpa and enjoy the beauty and amazement of GOD in heaven.

"be not afraid, i go before you always. come follow me and i will give you rest."
