Be glad and rejoice:
It is raining so much today here in Fresno, California on this Tuesday morning. Thoughts of Jeannette run through my mind. Happy thoughts of her as a young teen. Jeannette running in the rain to my car as I picked her up from school. She would jump into the back seat and immediately begin to take off her jacket, shoes and socks and say, "Ma, let's go to Jack in the Box." Of coarse I would and then afterwards yell at her to put on her shoes before she stepped out of the car and into the house. She almost never listened and within a couple of days would complain of a sore throat. I guess I was very lenient and made her days happy and carefree. 
Today is my birthday. I am super excited about my birthday party and seeing all my family and friends come together to celebrate with me. The only thing that is sad is that Jeannette won't be attending because she is rejoicing in God's Kingdom in Heaven. I smile knowing she is not in pain anymore. If she were here today I know that she would be in charge of the entire party. She loved setting up tables, decorations, and above all else, being here with her mommy. She loved me so much. I can still feel her love all the way from Heaven. 
It's raining this morning here in Fresno, California. Thinking about Jeannette and wishing she was here right now to have a hot cup of coffee and chit chat before I leave for work. There is so much I would want to tell her. So many good things are happening in my life at the start of 2016. My prayers are being answered. Thinking positive and praying the rest of this year is good.
