As 2010 comes to an end, I reflect on all of the things I've experience this past year. At the beginning of 2010 I was working in a warehouse for a short period of time. After being laid off; I began to look for work. Not being able to find anything, I decided to babysit my nieces and cousins. It was a fun filled summer and fall needless to say. I enjoyed spending the day with these wonderful children. There was never a dull moment! I'd take them to the pool next door to my Aunt's house, and we would spend the entire day there. Some days I'd take the kiddos to the park or we'd run errands. Then, once summer came to an end and fall crept in we'd usually watch TV or have computer time.
Little did I know my beautiful 5 year old niece Haley would pass over into eternal life in October of 2010. Losing this beautiful baby girl is the hardest, most difficult experience I have EVER been through. I can't begin to put into words the pain and the loss I have felt. Somehow God has given me the strength to keep going on. Without his love and the prayers of all of my family and friends I would not be able to make it. I'm so thankful for all of the time and memories that Haley and I shared. I hold those very close to my heart, and there's not a day that goes by that I don't think about her. I just long for the day when I get to see her again and feel her loving hugs or her sweet voice!!! She brought so much sunshine to my life and I will miss her so much. But, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that she is in heaven with my savior, and he has a plan. Everything works out to the good to them that love the Lord!! I may not know why, but I don't have to. I trust in JESUS CHRIST, that he does.
I know that 2011 has lots of blessings in store! Look ahead and thank God for what he is going to do for you in the new year! Happy New Year everyone!
