22 Years ago today!

After having cried for an entire year, the sun seemed to crack the sky again for me, with Emily's birth. I lived the whole year wondering if we would make it another day. Why did the sun come up? was my daily question. I had lost my only real desire. Then, as if God turned the surface of my life over, Emily was born. She was a pain and a prod, from her first breath. She made cussing like sounds at the anesthesiologist, as they were siphoning the mucus from her. I said, what a little personality she has. No tolerance. No patience. No compromising. Constant provocation. I guess I needed that. I am so grateful for her.
