One of the girls said, "my friends have no idea why we celebrate this day." I remember being in the hospital and the nurse saying, "today will be your new birthday." I didn't put much stock into that. It sounded fun, but we were waiting for an outcome, and when you have 5 kids you don't just change one kids birthday. Over the years this day grows More and More important to us. This is not a celebration of one child. Today is a celebration of faith, family, goodness and God's amazing peace that He has instilled in our hearts. When I read back on blogs I feel uneasiness and anxiety, that at times, I felt to my core. I sometimes feel anger, hopelessness, fatigue and peace. How all emotions can hit you is crazy. However today, we hug every one of our daughters and we are blessed to have felt every one of those emotions.
I can read back on those blogs, and feel blessed to see the outcome of today. Even though not one of us knows the future, we can be sure God's sustaining love is going to carry us through, just He has the last 11 years.
HAPPY BONE MARROW DAY SWEET SWEET GIRLS!!! Each one of you is ingrained in our hearts. We love you more than words can ever say and are proud of the bond you have with each other.
