I just wanted to share a little piece of real time with you guys. Many of you know me from way long ago..... and many have only known me since my return to mtc. but today... marks a milestone for me and my family. you see 17 years ago today, after 11 trips for premature labor and 4 months of bed rest... they finally got the tiny little angel to go head down... and things happened so fast that when she was born..she left mom with a gift.... a pulled hamstring muscle... LOL......I know I have talked to a great number of you about my daughter.... well... those that know her as possum.... others know her as jennifer...... has officially turned 17..... complete with drivers lisence...and is currently seeking to conquer her new high school. conquer meaning enslaving all to her will. its a major milestone for us because again these were days and years that we were told we would possibly never see. so I think that 2 heart caths, one open heart to repair the deformed valve... and then the second open heart to transplant a human donor graft valve into place and the multitude of prayers I know you guys have prayed with me over the years have really paid off. She is healthy... going to make an attempt at the swim team.... already in the high school concert choir....already been pulled in for the winter play production.... and is researching colleges that have a strong theatre dept as well as something in the way of forensic science. Some of you have stayed up nights with me while we waited on test results.... Some of you have listened to me cry when they said she will never have children. and Some of you have heard me scream and cry for joy when they changed that. We have the promise of tomorrow. We have each other..... We are a family.... Thank you for being there for me When we needed you... and Thank you for allowing me to give that back even though I know I'm not that good at it at times.
may you all find a blessing on your door today....
Shy aka Tina
