Today is my daughter's birthday - 12/15/06 05:34 PM
Seventeen years ago I had a baby girl and decided to name her Janie Samantha after the grandmothers of my ex and me.
Lord knows, ALOT has happened in 17 years--the times when I questioned my parenting skills...the times she made me so proud when she was recognized for being an honor roll student. Seeing her on the cheerleading squad is always a "proud mama" moment. She was a latchkey kid for many years but she managed to make it through.
Just a few short months ago, she was near death after being diagnosed with cardiomyopathy--a heart disease the doctors at Duke said was truly rare for a girl her age.
But through all of this, today we celebrate and I ask that you join me in praising God for our children!
Peace & Blessings,
