Sweet Sixteen

Today, in my heart, I celebrate the birthday of our daughter Grace, born 16 years ago, passing away just the day before.

I never imagined back then that the clock would ever tick again or that this day could ever come. But it has, and Jeff and I have been blessed by God many times over ever since.

I have come to accept that I may never fully understand the path God has chosen for my life, but find great peace in simply knowing there is one.

I purchased the beautiful painting of the delicate pink roses yesterday, to honor Grace’s 16th birthday, from my favorite Etsy artist, Mary Wolf of marysworkshop. Isn’t it just lovely?
