We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. The highlight was Adam meeting William for the first time. And mom having all of her grandchildren together for the first time.
Dad's marker was set right before Thanksgiving. It has beautiful red bouquets now. I will have to post another picture when I get one. It's just perfect. I picked out his Christmas tree last week and of course, it too is red. He would love it.
I wanted to post things I was thankful for at Thanksgiving but time got away from me. Here are just a few from the last few weeks.
1. Will's second, and final, cystic fibrosis test came back negative!
2. Will's allergy testing did not indicate any food allergies.
3. Will's new medicine is helping the reflux so much. He is SUCH a happy baby now.
4. My follow-up diabetes test came back negative.
And finally,
5. I have my voice back ...
I could live without a lot of things in my life but I can't imagine my life without music. Church, in particular, is one facet of my life where music is so meaningful to me. The music at church, singing, is a very spiritual and very emotional thing for me. After dad passed away I stopped singing in church; no matter how hard I tried I just couldn't sing. I believe mostly it was being afraid to feel the emotion that came with it. I've missed singing in church and missed the joy that comes with it. Last week in church I sang for the first time in many, many months, I sang to my son. Will has given me my voice back. What a blessing he is every day, and what a blessing it is to sing again.
If I don't post again before Christmas, may you all have a blessed and peaceful holiday. And may 2011 bring you many blessings.
With love from the Handy's ...
Merry Christmas!
