10 years
Wow, I can't believe it has been 10 years since my sisters wedding. Thats insane! well, ten years tommorow that is.
I try to think back to before there was a Matt in the family, but I really cant remember those days.
And then I try to think back before Dan and Han, and that itself seems hard.
And then I think to Nov 14th, and I think about how tommorow could be such a sad day, how we could all be sitting at home crying because it was supposed to be Matt and Francines anniversary. I remember hearing the words about the accident, but not really knowing what was going on. I remember not being able to stand, because it dawned on me that something was very wrong with Francine. I remember the feeling of being in the hospital, waiting for her to get out of surgery. I remember feeling like I couldnt breathe. I remember looking into Danielle and Hannahs eyes, and my heart breaking because there was a very real chance that their lives may never be the same.
So when May the 6th arrives. I will be thankful. Cause although apperently some people think my only purpose in life is to feel sorry for myself about the fact that I am single, I am so grateful to God for what he has given my sister. Because he has blessed her with life, and with a chance to raise her kids and with a third baby which is on the way. She gets to love her husband, and her husband gets to hold her. Her children have a mother(infact, probably one of the best mom that I know). I love my sister. And I am so grateful to God that she is here.
So tommorow, tommorow is a day to celebrate what God has done.
