Happy Birthday to Delaney

I was going to add to my Remembrance day post, but as usual I have been distracted. Remembrance to me is more than the Veterans. I remember the heroes in my life--Doug, my dad, my father-in-law. I really did not finish my thoughts there, but those memories bring me to the next topic--my baby is 10 on Friday the 12th. Wow! She said to me today that she would like to spend just two more days being 9, since 10 is almost a teenager! Ah, such a sweet girlie. And, as usual, as I write about Delaney, I cry. This is her second birthday without her daddy. It is not fair that she has had to experience such tough things already, but life is not fair. So I cherish the little girl with whom I have been entrusted, put my faith in our God who is a Father to the fatherless, and plan the first birthday party I have had to do for any of my kids by myself. Happy birthday, Delaney!
