We have so much to be thankful for so I made a list:
1. Heavenly Father Who has given us the strength to over come and endure to the end
2. Our Baby Caleb, who has been our bright spot since we found we were going to have him.
3. Our families and friends who has showered us with love and support
4. The church, that has offered us prayers and support at ever turn
5. Our health
6. Our marriage
7. Our little house, I have been appreciating it so much more lately
8. Buddy, I miss his excitement
9. The doctors and nurses caring for Caleb
WIthout all these things and more, I don't think I would have gotten through this. Joel and I are strong. Joel especially, I am in awe of strength, faith, and resolve. He is the strongest man I know. I don't know any man who would have or could have handled all this the way he has.
I love you sweetheart!
See you on Wednesday!
Love always, Ernestine and Caleb
We had a quiet family Thanksgiving dinner, and we all felt the hole in our family without you and Caleb. I could tell Joel's heart was in Boston today as he drifted away in thought. I wish you all could have been together, I know he misses both of you so much.
ReplyDeleteWe love you both and can't wait until Caleb is well and able to come home. I am so very thankful that you are such a good mother. I remember the day we almost lost you and I held my son in my arms, outside your hospital door, as he prayed and told God that he needed you and that Caleb needed you. That prayer was answered and we both thanked God in the hallway of the hospital.
Your strength is amazing too. You and Joel definitely have shown the power of the Lord when you turn to Him for support.
Ernestine I am amazed and humbled by your strength. I think you got that special boy because you are just the mother he needs. I am thinking about you guys and you are always in my prayers. I miss you! Give Caleb a kiss for me. I can't believe how much he has grown! Has he outgrown the stuff you packed yet?:)
