Elliot's Birthday, 8.8.06
just a wee bit early...um, 2 months!
Nothing Special, Simply About Me
- Michelle
- Many do not understand what a glory and an honor it is to be a mother, particularly a mother to a child who has defied all odds and adds a particular brilliance to the world in general. I thank God that I have been sanctified to be such a momma! I try to be the center of love, selflessness, and patience in our home. Sometimes I succeed; sometimes I do not. I have been blessed with three wonderful children, each with their own unique persona. Our family stories range from the tear-jerking to the comic. That's what our lives are made up of. I would have it no other way.
