One Year Today

It was one year ago today that Abigail had her craniosynostosis surgery.

I believe that June 8th will always be a memorable day in our family as it was proof of the Lord's Almighty hand working in Abigail's life, and our lives as well.  I think we will find ourselves on every June 8th talking about the Lord's mercy on us as He carried us through, looking up photos of baby Abigail, marveling at the complexity of such a surgery, praising the doctors for their work, remembering our shock when we first saw her, thinking of the friends who supported us at that time, laughing at ourselves when we recall being out to lunch when the surgeon stopped in to talk to us, finding ourselves amazed at the progress that Abigail has made since - much like we did today.  June 8th will always be a special day in our family, in many ways significantly more important than any birthday or anniversary or holiday: it was the day that the Lord tested us, and we proved ourselves faithful to Him, and He blessed us.
