Sisterhood of Widows S.O.W. Psalm 126:5-6 Please share on your Facebook so that others can see my blogs and maybe help them through their grief.
Fourteen years ago tonight, Kirk and I were on the eve of being first time parents. I was scheduled for a C-section that next morning so we decided to go out and get one more dinner before we became first time parents. Since I had to eat by a certain time, we went to a restaurant called Perkins. I had a big plate of French toast and a big glass of chocolate milk. It was so good. We really enjoyed our meal.
The following morning we went to the hospital as an anxious couple wondering what we got ourselves into, and three days later we left with the most beautiful and precious daughter. We were so happy. One our way home, Kirk picked up my hand and kissed it and thanked me for our baby girl. God had truly blessed us with a healthy and pretty girl. We were on top of the world.
Kirk and Emily had a very close relationship and she was his world. Right before she turned nine,, Kirk suddenly passed of an accident in his mechanic's shop. Three weeks later she turned 10. Kirk was always there for her birthday and always got a kick being with her. He always called her his baby girl. Now I am left to celebrate her day with her and to remember how much Kirk loved her and how excited he was to be her daddy.
God truly blessed the three of us. We had each other and God blessed us with our love and relationship the three of us shared. Emily and I will be sharing her 14th birthday together tomorrow. Even though Kirk isn't with us to celebrate, we know how much he loved us and how special Emily was to him. I feel Emily is a very lucky girl to have had a dad that loved her with all of his heart for nine years. A lot of children never get to experience the love of a dad. So we will celebrate together with Kirk on our hearts and mind, and will thank God in our storm for the blessing of having Kirk with us. I know our Father is also celebrating Emily as well. I know He blessed us as a family for giving us each other.
Lord thank you so much for blessing us with each other and for blessing us with your Son Jesus. Through Him, we know one day we will be reunited with Kirk and the rest of our loved ones. Thank you Lord for giving us the blessing of our Emily. You made our family complete and with You at the center, there is no storm, no weapon, no person that can stand between you and us!! In your Precious Name we pray, Amen!!
Happy Birthday to the most beautiful daughter!!!! Your loving and caring spirit for others is astounding and your love for our Lord is incredible. I love you and am so proud of your accomplishments when sometimes the deck is stacked against you. Just keep your eyes focused on Jesus and your heart open to Him at all times and you will succeed through our Lord. I love you so very much!!! Happy Birthday!!!
