January 23

This day may seem like an ordinary day for most of you out there. However, to us it's not. It's another anniversary. It's an anniversary we don't want to celebrate. 5 years ago on this very day my mom went into the Dr.'s office to have surgery to see what was wrong with her. The words that came out of the doctors mouth were so strong. They put my dad into shock. The Doctors told my dad that my mom had ovarian cancer. 5 years ago on this very day, my mom was diagnosed. Please pray for us today as we do not want to celebrate this horrible anniversary.

It's been 7 months already since she passed away...

This picture makes me laugh every time I look at it. I was in Florida last week, so I decided to recreate this picture for my mom. So, here is my moms version, and underneath it is mine. 

happy new year!
I hope everyone had a great new years Eve with their family/friends. We had a party at our house with our small group.
I'm leaving for Florida with my Aunt Lori and my Aunt Stephanie tomorrow! I'm really excited! Usually it would be my mom going with them, though. I wish it was her going with them. I'm excited to go but I'd rather have her be here and go, rather than her be gone, and I go.

If you were here on Christmas

I dedicate this to my mom up in Heaven.  

I wish I could see you

I wish you were here

today wasn’t the same

because you weren’t near

I heard God speak to me

He told me it was alright

He said that I can cry

and he will hold me up, with all his might. 

Jesus held me up 

he swiped me off the ground

He held me in his arms

He never let me down

Though you were not here

I thought of you all day

I wish you were here now,

on Christmas night,

so that you could embrace me in your arms

and say, goodnight. 

Merry Christmas!!

Please keep us in your prayers this season, I can see already that my dad is getting a little worried about how it's going to go without my mom this year. 

Merry Christmas! :)

For my school we are doing an 8th grade play. The play is The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe.   Tryouts were today, and I really wanted to be Lucy... but I didn't get her part. But... I still got a part, and so I'm still really excited to be apart of the play. Tomorrow is our Christmas chapel at school, and I have a solo to the song "Christmas Offering." It's a really neat song.  Please pray for my dad because he is super busy at work. He told us that last time he checked he was around 120 email behind.... so keep him in your prayers :)
Also, I know this is a couple days late... but Happy Birthday Mom.

It's been exactly 6 months science she's left.This picture literally brought me to tears when I first saw it. Emily at the age of 7 losing her mom.... just doesn't seem right.
