Five years ago, a long time wish of mine came true... my daughter was born.
Leading up to this day, I remember several times being at my wits' end... I remember as if it was yesterday... I was crying... praying... to Jesus... feeling as if I had no hope... feeling that my biggest desire would never come true... I remember thinking ... "I guess this is it... I will never know what it will be to be a mother of a little girl... you know what is best for me dear Lord..."
Before I knew it...
The day came that my daughter would be born... so many things happened that day... first off we were told to be at the hospital by 2:00pm only to find out that my doctor, Dr. Cooper, who also delivered both of my sons... and YES he was still alive... had made a mistake and should have told us to be at the hospital by 6:00pm. We were given the option to come back the next day... however, Dean and I had decided that in my father's memory, we wanted our little girl to be born on her grandfather's birthday, who had passed away when Mommy was four and a half months pregnant.
Once our little girl was born... our world was complete... Daddy was ever so protective over the both of us... and did not leave us alone that night, not even for a minute.
Daddy had gotten so grouchy... it did not help that the maternity wing was all being re-designed and re-built, under construction. Therefore, our room did not have the normal amenities that it should have had... all we wanted was a bed or chair for our daddy.
Regardless... as far as we were concerned... we were complete... our family was complete.
Thank you Jesus!

What a lovely post. Took me back to the days both my kids were born.
Car,
This is the one that hit home to me. Daddy, you, Fergie and Calley, of course, Mami too. But what got to me the most, was your last quote.." You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you-as you are to them!". God know "why things happen the way they do", with that being said, You, my SISTER are a true gift to and for ME! oh yeah, Dean and Calley also,lolol.
God Bless you today, tomorrow and forever!!!!!!!
Love ya, Claudi
