One Month!!

I can hardly believe it has been a month since Alana went home to be with Jesus. It seems so long ago but yet so fresh in my mind and heart. It seems very strange to me that I have not seen her for a whole month or that fact that I have not been in NY for that length of time.


This past month has brought a whirlwind of emotions and up's and down's. But, the blessing in all of this is that God has been there right by my side, comforting me and giving me the strength to make it through another day. God does promise to never me or forsake me, that I am grateful for.


During this month I have busied myself with projects at home that have gone undone since we had Alana. I was not able to do certain things in the house because she required much of my attention. I have done quite a bit of reorganization and cleaning. Each week the garbage has been overflowing and lots of clothing going to the Salvation Army. It does feel good to get my home back in order.


I also have been able to spend more time with my other children. This was a difficult area to work out because Alana was in NY. I was doing much traveling back and forth between CT and NY and barely had time to do all the other things a mother is suppose to do. I tried to make sure a spent a least a little time with each child but, I know it was not enough. The children did seem to understand what mom had to do. They knew Alana needed me.


I wanted to mention that Antonio, our seven year old has pretty much recovered from his illness. He had a day of fever and a couple of days using the nebulizer. Praise God this was all that was required. Thanks for your prayers.

God is good :)


Psalms 18:1-2


I will love thee, O Lord my strength.
The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
