Six Years...

It's December the 17th


Six years ago today my hubby received a kidney transplant


A second chance at life

A light we thought had faded

Now shines brightly again

Six years ago a young man gave life to another

And so we were able to experience this







Last week after the wedding the kids all came over


This is the first time we have all been in the same room


Matthew and his dog Sammy


Andrew, his bride Melissa and their daughter Kori


Cindy (Andrew's birth sister), her hubby Joe, their girls Adrianna and Emaly


Mark and myself


We met Cindy and Adrianna a few years ago but they live in Sacramento


We had never even met Emaly (what a cutie)


We do consider Cindy as our daughter


and her girls as our granddaughters


So we felt like we had our entire family together


for a VERY special weekend


All because Andrew came into our lives as a 21 month old boy


who needed a home


And was willing to give up a kidney to save his daddy


That's Love


That's Joy


That's Family


That's Peace


That's Christmas


That is what Jesus is all about


For our family


The gift of life came as a child


For the world


The gift of eternal life


came as a child


And lives today!
