Lexi has a life size Barbie that she calls her sister. It is sweet and fun, but it breaks my heart a little. She doesn't have a real sister or brother who will always be by her side. She won't experience the annoyance of a second born nor will she grow up to have him/her as her best friend. Is she missing out as a child? As an adult? I don't think so. Lexi has so many people who love and adore her...cousins, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends and of course, us. I pray every single day that Lexi always knows how much I adore her. I ask her all the time if she will still love me when she is a teenager and an adult. Her answer is yes, but I am prayerful this will be true. We are incredibly blessed to have Lexi. She completes Jason and me. She is our world and has our whole hearts.
Sometimes when life seems hard, sad, or stressful, I like to just stop for a moment and find something happy or peaceful. This evening, Lexi and I were driving home and we noticed the beautiful sunset. I stopped so we could take a picture on my phone. When I look at the sky and it looks like this, it makes me think of the loved ones we have lost and are now in Heaven. Instead of feeling sadness, I feel comfort they are in their forever home in the arms of Jesus. I'm thankful to have to ability to remember and the faith to feel comfort. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
