I have to say "Congratulations to myself" for making it an entire year without updating my blog. I have had some down time at work and I find myself occasionally, no frequently, possibly daily, alright, maybe hourly checking everyone's blogs. I figured I would take advantage and try updating mine.
How do I update a year? I don't. So instead, I'm just going to start from now. The most recent thing on my heart is my dear friend Veronica and her daughter Thalia. She and I would really appreciate your prayers. She just found out Friday her x-husband and father of her daughter passed away. Below is a picture of both Veronica and Thalia.
This is the most recent picture I have of the two of them that was taken at Jade's Bday party and includes Jade in the picture. Veronica has been a very good friend of mine for over 4 years and she means a lot to me. Please pray for her, her daughter and the family of her x husband.
On a lighter note, I have to share a slightly humorous story from my daughter. I was with Jade when I got the news from Veronica and I cried. Jade asked me what was wrong and I told her that Thalia's father died. She just looked at me, but didn't seem to comprehend. I'm sure she overheard me over the next few days as the topic was of great impact to all my friends and many family members that care so much for Veronica and her daughter. On Monday when I dropped Jade off with her dad at school, he asked me how Veronica was and as I was responding to him, Jade interrupted and said "What Mommy, what happened?" So again I told her, "Thalia's dad died." She then replied to me, "Again? Oh my." Kids are so precious.
