TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY

What an awesome surprise I had this evening.  My family came knocking at my door. All of them together.  Everyone was holding something in their hands.  All for me.  I was relaxing at home when it happened.  They brought a complete dinner, cake, ice-cream, gifts and lots of hugs for me.  My daughter put on the coffee as my granddaughters set the table and arranged all the food.  My Son and his wife and children came along with my cousins, dad, sister and all the nephews and nieces.  It was a lively time had by all and especially me.  As they all gathered around me singing me Happy Birthday there was only one person missing. My Jeannette.  I know she would have been right next to me if she were here.  I felt her spirit though.  I felt her love.  Two years and four months have passed but I still feel like it barely happened that she left this world and into Heaven and free from pain.

I give thanks to God for blessing me with a beautiful loving family that cares so much about me.  Thank You Lord for blessing me also with my Jeannette and letting her be in my life for 37 years.  I know she is in Heaven and I know that one day I will see her.
