I BELIEVE IN GOD

January 9, 1967.  Only 18 years of age.  Had a baby and was living with my parents waiting for my husband to come home from Vietnam.  It was a long long wait and if I knew back then  how my life would have ended up with that monster,  I would have never had that smile on my face.

Just looking at this pic makes me sad for her.  She has no idea what kind of a monster is coming back from Vietnam.  How sad is that.  She does not know she will never have the storybook ending that she dreamed of.  How sad is that.  She does not know she will have two more babies that will have such an unloving father.  She will have to bear the load all on her own.  Loving her children and grandchildren with all her might.  Through all her sad days that she endured she still believes in her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. 

Praise God.  I thank him for 64 years he has given me.  I believe good things are to come.
