Even though I didn't know it at the time, I found out after meeting David that I was blessed in having a man that treated me extremely well and a son that arrived on my grandmother's birthday, a year after she had passed. Even though she isn't exactly here with me, I know that she gave me David and Zak (as well as another on the way this December!) to make sure that I could be content and happy with, as well as to make new adventures with two of the most craziest individuals I know.Beaute Sombrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01169080252853857340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-46208669031004857552013-06-08T21:38:21.419-06:002013-06-08T21:38:21.419-06:00What a beautiful post, and one that makes me think...What a beautiful post, and one that makes me think about how lucky I am in my life and I also think the photos are just so lovely you have such a beautiful smile Jo-Anne's Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11418152399382818709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-17149734013427487722013-06-08T10:47:47.393-06:002013-06-08T10:47:47.393-06:00Thank you for your vulnerability in writing this. ...Thank you for your vulnerability in writing this. It made me think of each group of my students, and how each one was what I needed that specific year. Funny how God has a way of doing that for us teachers, huh? [Don't get me wrong, there is always "that one class" too, but usually the good and joy and laughter out weighs the bad. <br /><br />It was also a good reminder as I have spent some time "grieving" this past year as I gave up teaching for this time to be with my daughter; a good reminder in showing me how God has given me Blythe to fill in a few empty places. <br /><br />Now?

I know all to well that "injustice" you speak about. I lost my mom 8 years ago, and my dad just a little over a year go. God has that way of picking us up after we've been down. I'm glad you discovered your place in this world. It really is amazing.
