Today will be the day...

Obviously I cannot sleep. I have tried. We sat up in bed with your aunt, your grandmother, your daddy and all of your sisters last night. We are all worried about today, it is hard not to worry, we are getting ready to give you back with as much grace as humanly possible. I know God will be with you and with us today, but I am your mommy and I just can not stop wanting just a little more time with you. Today will be your very special birthday and my hope and desire is for you to meet us if only for a moment, but we know heaven is waiting...

  8. I have been reading your blog for a while (someone posted it on a message board asking for prayers). I am thinking and praying for you and your family today. Michael is blessed that you are his mother. You are an amazingly strong woman--I'm not sure how many of us would have the courage that you have. May God bless you and your family.
