Happy Birthday

It has been so long since I last wrote.

I struggled with it again this year but knew I’d have to in December.

For you.

Who would have thought or known the year would have brought all it did?

Quite a lot happened in 2025, some I would have shared and more I guess I wouldn’t. There are so many reasons to be grateful – the answered prayers and yet a lot of anxiety and reasons to strengthen my faith.

In one of my moments of questioning, I was also asked a question. “If I believe you are in a better place, shouldn’t I be happy for you?”

So first, I realized the pain is on me, on us.  I miss our conversations and arguments. I miss all ‘em gifs and jokes. I miss hearing” I love itttt”. It felt like you should still be here. I felt been here with us was the best but what do I know?

I also realized, I needed to re-evaluate my beliefs and so I am continuing the journey of learning, accepting, preparing and believing without doubts what the transition would look like for those of us whose hope is in Christ. Its really a slow journey, I must say.

It hit me that truly we are here for only a moment, visitors and strangers in the land as our ancestors were before us. Our days on earth are like a passing shadow, gone so soon without a trace. 1 Chronicles 29:15 New Living Translation (NLT)

You inspired so many especially with your strength and I realized this year that you were truly graced with this.  Thank you for all you gave and did.

Forever in our hearts
