It's Been a While!

Wow, I'm really slacking or either really, really busy one? Its been a while since I last blogged, see I started this blog in memory of our daughter to help get through the grief.  Let's see where are we, first off we recently celebrated our twins fourth birthday on February 4th, Emma's third year in heaven on her birthday, I'm sure she had the grandest celebration of all.  I do wish we could celebrate with her together but I know that one day we will, it's still not easy but at least we have the assurance of seeing her again, some days that is  all that gets me through.  It was a blessing watching little man Easton celebrate, he amazes me more and more everyday!  Kailey is keeping us busy still with cheer and loving every minute of it, she's such a diva !   This brings me to my next point, see this blog was started for our precious Emma Grace and our journey which still continues everyday, here's where we are at today; Kailey still cries at t...

Emma Grace's Testimony

EMMA GRACE:     She got the name Grace Because she lived in the womb when they said she may not, she survived birth even when they said there may not be a chance, they said abort to save her twin and we said NO! Then she came home all by God's grace.  Sometimes you have to put it in God's hands the Dr's can guess but God knows! Little did we know that her grace from God was only beginning.  God had some very important work for Emma to do.  She taught her family a love like no other and was tough and fought through and endured so many struggles in this world.  See Emma was born with a very rare genetic disorder that had never been seen before, she had a congenital heart defect requiring open heart surgery and she could not  hear or barely see without the help of her glasses.  We knew about her heart before she was born but had no idea until after birth of all the other struggles she would have to endure when she entered this worl...

The Holidays Without My Angel

As we approach the holidays again this is a difficult time for myself and my family.  This will be our second Thanksgiving and Christmas without our  pecious Emma Grace you would think that it may get easier over the years but the truth is I still miss her the same today as I have everyday since she left us to be at home with our Lord.  I know she no longer suffers and is having the time of her life and it's just a TEMORARY separation for a little while until we get to be at home with her.  I post this in her memory and as a reminder to not be forgotten.  If this is the only way I can see her precious face it will have to do.  It's like a little piece of Heaven for me.  May God bless all the other heart moms who have lost and all others throughout this time of year.  We will still always celebrate her everyday and throughout the Holidays.  We have a special Christmas tree just for our Gracie.  I know I've shared this video before bu...

Don't judge me until you know me, don't underestimate me until you've challenged me, and don't talk about me until you've talked to me.

I feel the need to address certain issues in life that are not acceptable and try to do the right thing and remain Godly in an UnGodly world.  I will start by using my favorite Elvis quote, "When things go wrong, don't go with them."  This being said the meaning I am using in this is when you feel people have wronged you and direspected you don't go there with them, do not go down to their level.  It's one thing to try to understand the differences in one's beliefs but it takes it to a whole other level when one goes a step farther and actually makes fun of one's beliefs.  Oviously everyone thinks their choice is the best reguarding anything and that is fine, if you are comfortable with where you are in life then that is where you should be.  If I disagree with you, I understand that not everyone thinks the same way but as adults it is shameful to be childish and make fun of someone's beliefs.  That speaks volumes about the individual, as they say acti...

Just A Reminder

Today I am sickened and struggling by some peoples actions and verbal assalts on me and my character,  and my family including my innocent children by those that are supposed to love and support you the most.  Wow I never thought family could act that way, be so cold and cruel and almost downright evil in their actions.   If your reading this and are offended by it then maybe I'm speaking to you, or if you are reading this and saying wow I don't understand some people either then you are not in need of this little reminder and I thank those of you who I don't have to remind that I struggle.  Just because I'm a Christian does not mean that I am perfect it just means I'm forgiven and have the greatest friend to lean on anyone could ever have even in time of the trials and struggles.  I know there's a reason but I may never know the why for the trials and struggles down here.  It is not up to anyone in this life to judge me and tell me I'm not a...

She taught her family a love like no other and was tough and fought through and endured so many struggles in this world.

For those of you who know me know that I'm the BIGGEST Bob Seger Fan ever!  I'm always blogging my feelings and the journey we have had and continue to have over the last year, so today I thought I would bring a little positive to uplift me and make me smile at the good memories right before Emma's surgery my life long dream finally came true and I actually got to see him in concert for the first time in my life!  Ecstatic didn't even begin to describe it!  See I had a dream come true right before we had to face our worst nightmare so I would like to share some of the concert clips from our trip to Nashville because anyone around me knows that if I'm listening to anything there's going to be some Seger included in there somewhere and when I think of his song; " Wait for Me"  it makes me think that I'm telling my precious Emma just to wait for me I'll be there one day! I know she'll be waiting for me in Heaven with the open arms of t...
