We studied so hard to have our first baby.

24 years ago today we set out to embark on the parenting process. We took parenting classes. We took birthing classes. We studied what we would and would not do for and with our coming guest and stranger. As soon as the test came out positive, my Honey was handing out cigars. Then, the day came. I promised not to take any medications for the health of the baby. Oh, no, upon the very first pain, I was sure that I would die of this pledge. My husband stood by my pledge and assisted me in my commitment to the health of our child. Now, here we are 24 years later. Grateful to God for the instructions and instructors that assisted in helping us rear this, most helpful and precious woman of God. No one can know, who doesn't live with her, the assistance and the grace that it takes to live in a difficult and tumultuous household such as we have. God knows. I am grateful for the Holy Spirit having breathed upon our feeble efforts and given her to us, for His Glory. Have a wonderful birthday!
