Happy Anniversary

Sunday July 27 Mark and i will celebrate out 12th anniversary!! And "they" said it wouldn't last!!

Child's Pain

Why do our children have to re-live the pains we have already felt? Why can’t there be a moratorium once the pain is felt in a family? Why must there be heart-break all over again, didn’t I have enough for all already? Or why can’t I be burdened with it again INSTEAD of my child? Heart-break does not leave visible scars like an accident does. We put on our ‘happy faces’ and go on with life, but it hurts as much as a broken bone or a gash in the skin. I just want my children to be happy, healthy and joyful. Is that too much to ask? I know that Heavenly Father only gives each of us as much as we can handle and when we think we can’t handle it, He gives us more strength, but I cannot help but hope for more happiness for my children, Selfish, I guess. In the meantime I can only pray for my children and hope they can weather the storms of life without capsizing or sinking. I pray everyday!And just keep loving them!!
