My Parents

For as the days of a tree, so shall be the days of My people.

I have been truly blessed when it comes to parents. My mom and dad raised five beautiful children. Everything good in me comes from them. There wasn't a day I didn't feel loved by my parents. They taught me how to love my husband by constantly loving each other. As a new mama, I know how to love and take care of Dagny because of the way I was loved. Ultimately we love eachother as Christ loves us. They just did a really good job showing us what that looked like. 

Since Dagny was born, my parents have gone above and beyond to help me. When Mark had to leave the day after the birth, they were here. My mom stayed the weekend with me and then I went to stay with them the rest of the week. When I came back to work while Mark was in Toronto, my mom took care of Dagny. They live two hours away, but would drive half way before and after a shift. Some days my mom would drive all the way to stay the night so I wouldn't have to drive. I don't think I could of left my baby at such a young age with anyone else. As much as it hurt, I had such a peace about who Dagny was with. 

They shall not labor in vain, nor bring forth children for trouble: for they shall be the decendants of the blessed of the Lord, and their offspring with them. Isaiah 65:23
