Yes, we have made it 19 years. Nineteen years of God's grace, empowering and goodness. One aspect of that 19 years of goodness is the gift of 4 children. The oldest has just graduated high school and turned 18. She has been my right arm for many years now. I could not be more blessed than I am to have a daughter who truly loves God with all her heart,mind and body. And although I had a very uncharacteristic moment of near hysteria last night at 1 a.m. when sitting at the steak and shake drive through waiting for our happy birthday shakes( because it was now officially June 10th and her 18th birthday) I looked over at her thinking this when it hit me, OH My, She is EIGHTEEN! SHE IS AN ADULT! This is it. She is grown. She can leave any time. I am not afraid to let her go into whatever God has for because I know she desires to live her life serving her Savior. To walk holy and blameless before her God. Thank you Damaris for honoring your parents with your life. I am proud(in a good way) of you and blessed to call you my daughter and friend. I love you.

thanks mom. for the encouragment, the friendship, your humility, for being an awesome example, and for all the laughter.
i love you and i'm honored to be your daughter.
(just please dont freak out like that too often. it is a little scary being so unlike you..)
You've officailly gotten another cmment
Hey, I wish I could have caught you last night but I couldn't stay long. I just wanted to leave a little note to let you know I have been and will keep on praying for your parents, as well as for you and your the rest of your family. I'm embarrassed to say I had no idea what-all was going on. :( Will pray that God continues to give you every bit of strength you need for everyday. Keep us posted!

jumpin' jehosaphat..
are you ever gonna update this thing?
haha :)
perhaps after xtreme.
as far as parents, dad looks better. doc says be optamistic and patient. dad can't be patient, doesn't remember what doc says am concerned he will overdo and lose the progress he has gained. he has improved but not out of woods yet.
mom is still wait and see as well. they have not told her her latest cea #'s and i find that concerning, i'm afraid they don't want to tell her over phone. but very possible it was just an oversight. mom isn't the type to call and ask. hope to go to doc with her next week though she doesn't think i need to. expects routine. gotta finish dinner.
