Waverly Turns Twelve
Little girl continues to surprise us by her strength. Yesterday we were able to celebrate her 12th birthday with kisses on her warm, soft cheeks. The nurses were not confident she would make it and I was certainly doubtful, but she is resilient and loves to prove her mommy wrong. I counted down to her birth minute and we celebrated another year together.
Thanks to those of you who sent balloons, flowers, teddy bears, cards, cupcakes, blankets, fuzzy socks, pajamas, dinner, coffee, bagels, and decorated our driveway.
Day by day.
Hour by hour.
Moment by moment.

I am a friend of your aunt Tammy and sending you a greeting and prayer from Syracuse NY!
It is so clear that you are so dearly loved and prayed over!
God has blessed you with a beautiful family!
Praying for His fullest blessings for you and your family!
In His Loving kindness, Un Joo
-The consummate mom ( more accurate to say she takes it to a whole new stratosphere !)
-Capable of finding joy and wonder in the smallest of things ( but she has taught me they are the MOST important of all)
-Advocate, seeker and articulate messenger capable of bringing clarity to the most inscrutable of life's challenges (through words and actions)
-Self effacing and caring...recognizing the needs of everyone all at once (oh, how I wish to emulate her)
-Poignant and masterful at putting words to the feelings of her heart: those elusive, impossible emotions that wring her raw and tear at her very core giving pause to dissect her pain and meet it face on and drown it with the love that only she and Matt have cultivated so well for each other and their blessed children....and in so doing, have brought blessings and goodness to all who have been witness to their pure and unfailing love (I will be ever grateful for the experience)
