I know if this little gal were beside me right now she would listen to the pain that I express and then quite simply say, "YOU ARE AMAZING," and following it up with how we are on our journeys to God and understanding, and coming to know where we stand (over worrying about where others stand) is critical. She'd go on long stories of my strength that she has seen in life.
She related a few today actually:
"I looked at pictures from Shane's funeral with Mom yesterday. You dressed in white--you were so broken but so strong and that's because of your faith and sealing to the Lord who carries you."
I have a priceless gift in her, as I do in my entire family.
I am indeed a blessed woman.
I will not lie...I was down on my Birthday. Life brings it's load of problems and drops them on your front door unexpectedly. It is unlike the stork call, that was always a joyous drop! The truth is, we all have to experience life, we all have to experience pain, grief and sorrow. On the other hand, we all have an ability to see and feel life and joy. Happy Birthday Beautiful Sister. Not too long ago we were tiny babes without a care in the world...now we are grown babes with all the cares of the world, but we have a source for sweet relief as well. I love you!

Did you know, Sara, that Mom named us after she and Kristi? Shelly and Kristi, sisters.
