God is our strength

I slept in until 11am today. I guess I really needed that sleep. As nice as it is to get some sleep all by myself, it is kinda lonely in the bed without Ben or Raider. Last night was another rough night for Ben, but he slept most of the day today which is good. My mom goes back to Washington tomorrow. It was so hard to say goodbye this evening. I wish she could just stay with me forever. On Sunday my sister comes though with our soon to be 4 year old niece and 8 1/2 month old twin nephews (they were born the exact same day as Raider). I am truly looking forward to her being here and for Soraya to get to see her uncle Ben. It will also be a lot of fun to see how Cortez and Cruz interact with Raider. Some good friends of Ben and I will be stopping by in the next few days and I am really looking forward to seeing them also. In life you rarely get to see how many people truly care about you and this has been one blessing that God has given us through this whole journey. Thanks again for showing us your love. Please continue to pray for comfort and strength for Ben and the rest of our family.

Kirstin,
That is so great you get to see your sister, your neice and nephews! As you know,I like their names...they're beautiful! I miss little kids...glad to know they are in abundance...somewhere! Ben continues to be on my Bible Study Group prayer list, and I printed and shared the beach picture of him and Raider.
God watch over you all.

I am so happy your sister gets to come!!! I can't imagine how happy and comforted I would be to have my sister there at a time like that...there is nothing like a sis. :) God bless, miss you!
