April Reflections

April seems to be the "activity" month in my life. It is when I was born, it is when I had an epiphany 19 years ago that has led me on such a great adventure, it is when I have had every single heart attack with the exception of #6, and it is when I said good-bye to my dad on the very day he welcomed me into this world.

I welcomed my birthday today with open arms this year. I'm ashamed to admit that in the past I haven't always accepted getting another year older with much grace or dignity.

Today, I look back at my life with awe (tomorrow I may be bartering with someone to trade lives!). Where it has not always been easy, there have been gifts beyond belief always waiting on the other side of the "seemingly bad". I thank God for carrying me, and for the people He places in my life. :-)
God's speed....

Kelly,
I have been so busy that I have not checked your blog for awhile. I remembered your birthday on Sunday, but we had family here and I didn't get computer time. I am now repremanding myself on my lax communication. My love and prayers are going out to you in abundance. You are the sunshine waiting for the storm to pass.
Love you lots,
Bonnie

Love this pictures Kel! I haven't visited for awhile and reading this brought tears. Love that you have those two pictures of you and Dad. God speed. XO, Kathy
