Happy 1st Birthday Rebekah!

Tomorrow is Rebekah's 1st Birthday.  I am so excited for her, and me, to celebrate this big day.  She has grown so much in the last year and I am so proud of her.   Rebekah is trying to walk and can do it quite well as long as she is holding onto your hand.  She is afraid of the hardwood floors, so she's a little reluctant to let go.  I am thinking the three of us will go have our pictures made together tomorrow for her birthday.  I just can't hardly believe she is already a year old.  Grant would be so excited to help me throw her first Birthday party; I wish he was here too.  :-(

On that note, yesterday was the 6 month anniversary of Grant going to live in Heaven.  I sat in his room yesterday and read my Bible and just couldn't stop thinking about him.  I can still smell him when I go in there.  It's pretty bad when you pick up an old dirty sock and smell it.  I thought about him sitting on the bed playing play-station and watching I-Carly.  I would give anything too see his little face or to hear him laughing.  So many times, when he was at his Dad's he would tell me on the phone, "I love you Mom and I can't wait until I see you tomorrow."  I could not wait to see him either.  Now, the longing is so much greater and I just can't wait to get him hands on him!!  Jesus' return and Heaven can't get here fast enough for me.  I love you too Grant and I miss you.

Last week on Tuesday night/Thursday morning, Mom went into the hospital via ambulance during a pancreatitis / gallbladder attack. It was awful and she said the pain was worse than child birth.  Wow, that is bad and I can't imagine.  I spend most of the day at the hospital Wednesday and Thursday when she finally was well enough to have her gallbladder surgery.  I was so glad that she was feeling well and back home on Thursday night.  I praise God for her healing!

I have a few pictures of my car wreckage to upload and I'll try to get to those tomorrow.  It was amazing that I walked away from that without a scratch.  I also thank God for delivering me from harm on that day.  I know he has a plan for my life and I pray that I will know and recognize it.  Right now, I'm just being a Mommy and taking care of Miss Rebekah, AKA Princess.....
