Bernie Em and I met for the Infamous Sammys B-fast minus Nicole...

She had a whole day planned for lil Em breaking us out and about of the hotel and into some Bernie Fun

Drives us out west part of Ohio toward Avon lake  stopping along the way to see the beautiful Beach and Downtown skyline. Em ran the Beach as if it were her Texas coast feeling Free as the wind and displaying  an unerasable SMILE my heart will never seize to forget All day.

Em had the best day with Bernie's. She made it super special for her ( and me) Emmalee played on the sands of lake Erie, the Park. Discovery zone at an Amazing library ( her fave thing to do) Ran free at the park, Visited a super cool nature center in Ohio of rescued animals. Em and I were loving the animals at the nature reserve and Bernie decides to share with us the vultures lunch....... DEAD Baby chicks to our surprise:( We share lots of smiles and laughs all day long. Prying Em away from the discovery zone was a bit difficult until she found out that Meg Bernie's daughter and Ems new Friend to be was home waiting on us.

What a great time for her.What a Heart little Meg has and loving sweet spirit, she was so welcoming to Em. Meg is such a sweet spirited girl perfect for em to be with...gift of friendshhip

They made bracelets, played babies,  played in her tree house in the rain, had girl chats about clothes fashion and friend stuff.  Phil and Bernie blessed us with a Delicious dinner at Applebees (as close to Texas cooking) steak and potatoes. Mr. good ol Phil had a family idea to make wreaths for a fundraiser, the girls wanted to go shopping so coupled together off we went.

All Aboard.....

One year ago....

Today I sit here humble before the Lord as I knew life to be very  different one year ago ..TEARS  stream my face with mixed emotions of gratitude,blessings, answered prayers, at the thoughts of just where we were 1yr ago each day and night  watching her struggle using her entire body shifting in opposite directions with each agnal sounding breath in  waiting what felt like forever for her to exhale attempting to sleep uprightin my arms in a chair with lamp on, stimulating her all night long trusting in God she was in His hands, no doctors to care for her, no where to go..just sit watch and wait night after night praying  trusting Gods timeline and plans.  Today and the past few months has been a lifestyle change and acceptance of many blessings throughout.At night i catch myself sneaking a peek and a listen with  a soft grateful smile upon my face thanking The Lord not one sound is heard but just peaceful effortless breaths.....  One year ago my sweet girl was barely breathing yet alone growing and thriving like other active girls her age or participating in activities to her capability yet still reaching  and showing us her unstoppable Em.He has covered us in His love and Grace and embraced us to bring Her and us to a remarkable place.. all victories  won no regrets to Glorify Him please take a moment and surrender whatever it is you are holding onto and allow him to lead you in the same manner that i was able to let go Let God.... complete trust FREEFAll in Faith! You'll never be the same
