3 Years of Surprises!

3 Years of

...mourning.

3 Years of Blessings

3 Years of Celebration

3 Years of laughter ...

...through tears.

3 Years ago I went into labor. Don't mind my reminiscing... 3 Years ago I had spent a whole month in the hospital awaiting 2 beautiful girls to be born one healthy, one that might live just 6 hours.

3 Years ago, I gave birth. Alone. No cries, no squeals, no relief.

Silence

3 Years ago I saw with a blink of an eye, my daughter who had breathe, be whisked away only to "live 6 hours".

3 Years ago I was handed my healthy daughter, cradled in my arms, lifeless.

Breathless.

Gone.

But REAL.

3 Years ago, my breathing daughter lived 24 hours instead of 6.

3 Years ago, my breathless daughter pushed for her sister to live.

and died for her.

3 Years ago, little did we know, that our breathing daughter was made to show Jesus.

Not for just 6 hours.

Miracle after Miracle, Our breathing daughter witnessed Jesus to YOU. To the world.

Grief after Grief, our breathless daughter witnessed Jesus.

What a Miracle...

Today we celebrate both Breath and Breathless.

We celebrate our 3 year old Veiyah living here in presence.

We celebrate our 3 year old Aderah living here in spirit.

Happy Birthday Veiyah Jaielle and Aderah Psalm!

Do you see how many Glorious days outweigh the Grieving days?

This is who Jesus is.

This is who our Father God is.

This year marks 3 years of our ever changing lives.

And this year marks Jeremy's 34th Birthday with the gift of our 2 miracles.

What a day to celebrate LIFE!

As Veiyah LIVES here and shows us Aderah everyday,

Aderah lives with Jesus and shows Him Veiyah everyday.

Aderah is real.

Aderah is more alive than Veiyah.

Though we continue to miss her sweet face, I can only imagine what God has done with her.

Just as He is doing with Veiyah.

Remember that this life is just a different life. We have a chance at MORE life after here on earth. Jesus is that chance. So maybe give Him one.

3 more years, Here we come!

No matter what...
