Today was Mom's birthday. We had a little party for her in the hospital. She was quite surprised ( I think!). They have a little conference room that they let us use to set everything up in. It was the first time Mom had been out of her hospital room. All of the kids lined up to give her hugs and kisses. It was so good to celebrate with her.
I couldn't help but be reminded of how just a few short weeks ago we were all gathered together in an ICU waiting room, not sure of what Mom's outcome would be, and then here we were today, gathered together again to celebrate her life. It brought tears to my eyes to think of how far she has come and how much we have all been through. I know that our Heavenly Father has a greater plan for her than we could have ever imagined. And I know that she couldn't, nor could we have, made it this far without the prayers and support of all our friends and loved ones. We are forever greatful.
I can't think of another birthday that will be remembered or enjoyed more than this one. Love to all, Holly.
