Greetings to all of you.
It has been many months since my last blog and I hope that this finds all of you living your lives to the fullest. Lives filled with simple pleasures that make your hearts sing and bring smiles to your faces.
We are approaching an amazing day and I felt it necessary to share it with all of you.
March 5th is Madelyn's 12th Birthday!!! I have tears in my eyes as I remember not knowing if this day would ever be realized. But those tears are tears of JOY today as she is embarking on anther year of life! Another year of being in our lives! God gave all of us a gift, the gift of Madelyn Marie Johnson. Another year is truly THE best birthday gift to not only Maddy, but to all of us! * HAPPY BIRTHDAY *
Madelyn is still on her journey to health. Her lung function is still less that the doctors and Maddy would like. But in true Mad fashion, she continues to move on through life not letting it get her down.
There are SO many things that Madelyn has had to miss out on since her hospitalization, but she does not let this hinder her enthusiasm for life. I believe we could all learn a great deal from this almost twelve year old.
So, on March 5th please take a moment to take in the simple pleasures in your lives. Take a moment to celebrate the amazing kid that brought all of us together almost a year ago and remember how special she is...how special the gift of living truly is!
*** HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADELYN MARIE JOHNSON **** You continue to Rock and we are right there along with you, still cheering you on!!!!
