On June 27, twentyone years ago I gave birth to a Beautiful baby girl, Melissa Sue.Our family was so blessed to have her for 18 years. So of course with June 27th right around the corner, my mind has been playing that what if game. Turning 21 is always a big deal for most teenagers , so knowing this would of been her 21st birthday I play out many different seniros of what that big day would of been like for her. (I am sure we all know what she would of wanted for that Birthday and what she would of planed) But what I wanted to let friends and family know I have found that grief is a strange animal and not a like for any two people and as a family each one of us miss her sooooo much and grieves differently, we all stand firm in our faith and the promises of God that Melissa is in our future!! And this is what I have come to know: In the natural I want answers (the why?) but in my spirit I know the answer, in the natural I am grieving, but my spirit knows it is ok!
Though these types of important dates are hard and serve as a reminder she is gone they do hold some of the best memories. God has never left us and our strength comes from him, as we continue to seek his face in all things, he continues to show us where he was in Melissa's life and himself in our lives now.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETIE!!
Love ya,
Mom

Yes Kimberly I still read the blogs. I don't get online as much since I don't have access except in the hotels and work. We remember those important dates. Many times I think about not being able to see Mimi grow up like we wanted but cherish the time we did get to spend with her. You are right, she is truly missed by us all. God bless to you all. SB
miss you and think about you :) you are always in my prayers.
