MOTHER'S DAY AND GRADUATION

I have many pictures to load of Ladnon's graduation. We had a lovely time yesterday visiting with family and watching our Landon graduate from ISU. He is such a nice young man and we are so very proud of him. We plan to take the kids to Captiva Island to celebrate more in June!

Today is Mother's day and the first one in many years since Mom's passing that I am not feeling a bit somber. While I still miss Mom and Grandma who joined her last month, I am filled with overwhelming thankfulness. It occurred to me as I reflected on this weekend, that God has blessed me with everything for which I have always hoped and prayed. Certainly, it was in His time, not mine.

Today, I also think of the woman who gave birth to Bing. I know that there is not a day that goes by she does not think of Bing. She may not have had a choice, but her plan to give Bing another life has given us so much joy. We are so thankful and will always think of her.
