Looking Back Looking Forward

I have been looking at the blog and the entries over the last year. The year has not quite what we expected and there have been some hard times. When i look at the entry for the beginning of the year it was strange being a family on New years eve but all being apart but we started the year full of hope looking forward to a new beginning as a family with the arrival of Abigail. Little did we knew that we were soon to lose dad. And that he would miss so many key moments through the year. But there was an overwhelming sense of knowing it was gods plan.

We have in the last year had Abi dedicated a joint celebration with daddy's birthday. First mothers day and fathers day. Ste mom and dads ruby wedding anniversary a 30th birthday not forgetting a first Easter Christmas, birthdayand a holiday, and of course a second wedding Anniversary. A christining and a wedding.

We have celebrated the usual milestones laughed at silly jokes but most of all enjoyed the wonderful miracle the joy and happiness that Abigail brings to our lives. We cant imagine being without her she somehow makes life complete. And although there have been difficult times through the year god has been there with us through it all holding us when needed and guide our lives as he has always planned.

As we enter 2008 we live a magical year of discovery, i also know that deb has finished her chemo and while she still faces radiotherapy things are looking good. So this new year eve we will spend as a family with 2007 ending better that at times we could have imagined and with the cup definatley overflowing. So as we end the year i knew that just as last year god has a plan for my life and he is simply the scourse ofall we need.
