I can't believe it, that one year ago, we were in MIOT Hospital in India anxious about baby gal's open heart surgery that had been scheduled for the 14th. I still remember the hardest thing for us was to hand over Samara to the nurse and wait for about 3 hours before seeing her. As we waited, we knew that indeed it is God who watches over us and our children because we could not go in there , all we could do was stay putt and wait. We felt the support of family and friends because there are moments in ones life that one can not pray and that particular period was one of them.
Today, baby girl is fine, healthy and in school. She is a busy bee and very opinionated. She loves pink and is at that stage of saying what she wants to wear. The other day after her nap, we wanted to go for a walk and she insisted on wearing a pink dress and she felt really good about that. We do not miss those nasty comments about how small she is, or the times when she coughed and we had to rush to hospital lest the infection got further into the chest.She can now eat icecream, swim freely, run around without us worrying. I must say, that dark cloud that hang around was lifted and isn't God awesome? At times she lifts her top and says that she fell down hence the scar but we let her know, it means God is faithful.We thank God because that scar , reminds us of God's faithfulness in our lives.
So here we are, one year later, very pregnant at week 41 and baby J is overdue by 1 week .He seems to want to share the date with the anniversary for the surgery. October is always special for us even as we look forward to celebrating our 4th wedding anniversary on the 18th October. We are truly blessed and thank God for loving us and for the blessing of a lovely family. I thank God for my beloved, never would I have asked for a better friend and partner and if I were to say I Do again, i would still choose him.
Have a great weekend
