13 years ago life handed me the biggest bunch of lemons I had ever had. My mom died unexpectedly. It was not a good time in life for me. I went on a down hill spiral that lasted a good 5 years. I spent the first 8 years dreading the approach of August 9th because of the unhappy memories that it would bring. The unending sadness of missing my mom. The sea of what if's.
Then on August 9th of 2006, God decided it was time to turn lemons into lemonade. He gave me this sweet boy:
And every August 9th since
we have had reason to celebrate
and celebrate is what we have done
Happy 4th birthday Laine Anderson Davis!
Your Gran'ola picked you out just for us. Thank you mom!
