I think it's important for you to understand I'm just a simple woman who happened to have been given an extraordinary task!! So I'll begin introducing my family to you....starting, of course, with ME. ................. I've been happily married to the same man since December 23, 1975. My husband, Jim, and I had three daughters who grew up and gave us nine (yes, NINE) grandchildren.....five girls and four boys......who you'll get to know later.....if you decide you want to, that is.... ummmmmmm.......I came from a large family....four sisters and five brothers....I'd have to stop and do some serious counting to tell you how many nieces and nephews I have!!!! ......I love my God above all and my family next!! I appreciate more than ever the wonderful friends I've met along life's way.. FINALLY.......all I really want out of life now is to find God's perfect will for me and JUST DO IT!! I never planned to be a Mom again....this is just the way it turned out........My daughter needed help, seeing she had two older children and Jimma was truly a 24/7 baby.... Iam now trying desperately to find God's perfect will in my life....my life MUST count for HIM!!.....sooo. I stumble along...trying to find where it is my feet will take me now............. ok...enough for now, I think.......
ONE OF THE HARDEST DAYS YET....

Yesterday was Jimma's birthday....I had planned to have a party with her brother, sister, cousins, aunts and uncles...But....I am weak...I just couldn't find the strength. O how miss my angel...her beautiful smiling face...her always ready kisses. And although it was so very hard for her to raise her arms for a hug...o how hard she would work to get her little hands over my shoulders. ....she'd say 'huggg'.....making the 'g' sound so strong. And just like a newborn....her mouth opened wide as she smothered my face with wet kisses....she loved kisses!!!!! Jimma, my Jimma.....I long to be where you are!!!! What would I do if we'd never met? .....I would have missed out on so much!!! I didn't know such a love could exist!! For you loved me without asking anything in return...you loved me and I am blessed to have loved you, my darling baby girl!! I found it too hard to stay home today. I busied myself to keep from shedding a river of tears....I know you couldn't stand to see mama cry...your little fisted hand would come up to my face and ever so gently wipe the tears away.....I know you are in the land where there are no more tears...you will never again know pain or sorrow...you're walking on legs made whole now and singing praises to our God most high.....how you loved a song!!!!!! Can you sing one into my heart now?......one that I can carry with me until I see you again?........in that land where there will be no more hard days.......happy birthday, my Jimma....
