Last week was such an insane week here at the lab for all of us. The beginning and ending of each month is just craziness for me. I have so much paperwork to complete and reports to generate that I always am glad for that first weekend of the month. This weekend I had planned to do nothing or if not nothing very little; however, it didn't exactly work out that way. I know in a previous blog I asked for prayers for my Dad and his current situation and we still need them. The entire family is in my thoughts and prayers.
On a high note, my sister turned 6 years old yesterday. I can't believe that it's really been that many years since I held her for the first time in the hospital. She asked me to tell the story about the day she was born while driving in my truck yesterday and I realized I never had before. As the story unfolded, she was amazed and excited to hear the details about me driving really fast to get to the hospital only to sit for hours and wait on her. Also, that I was really sick and was taken care of by Jullay or as she calls her "JuJu". I layed my head on Jullay's tummy and felt Aidan kick all afternoon while she rubbed my head. This made Taylor laugh and confused all at the same time. She hadn't thought of where Aidan came from. Anyways, she asked me what she looked like the first time I saw her and as I tried to describe how she looked all I could think of is the way she melted my heart in that split second in my arms right after she was born. It has always amazed me how someone so small makes such a huge impact on everyone's lives. A strong feeling swept over me when I saw Grey for the first time, but this was a different emotion. Not that I love one more than the other, it just felt different with each of them. Unable to really find the words to describe the joy and the pride I felt that day six years ago, I found myself lost in the memory of that day she came. She was 8lbs 8oz of pure love, and absolutely gorgeous. I'm often told about how much she loves me and talks about me when I'm not with her and I of course adore her as well. She is so much like me and completely opposite at the same time. For you guys out there who haven't seen her in a while, she is already closing in on being taller than me! I suppose thats not really saying much though, huh? Most of the time I can't believe she's growing so fast, but I am truly enjoying watching her mature into a young lady. She has the ability to make just about anyone smile no matter what is going on in their day. I know she can't read and won't ever read this but I know she knows how much I love her and how I want the world for her. She has lit my life in dark corners I forgot I even had. Hope she had a Happy 6th Birthday!
Let me stop here and give a shout out to my Uncle Clay, because today is his birthday. Happy Birthday Uncle Clay!!!!!
Oh, I almost forgot, my brother had a little mishap this weekend as well. He landed a little off on his fourwheeler and now has seven stiches under his chin and a achy leg. Get Well Soon Nathan!
Until next time, keep us all in your prayers and have a good day
