DAY 5...30 DAYS OF JOY..MY BIGGEST JOY OF ALL

Of course all of you who know us, know that Abbie is my greatest joy of all. She came to us as a miracle and every day with her reminds me of how powerful prayer is and how GOD can just take over and change your life. Her name means a fathers JOY....and that she was. As i see her changing daily before my eyes, i see a mixture of her daddy and me. She is so full of life and energy and she tends to rub of on you. She is a great mood pill, she can lift your spirits in a flash just by her comments. She is very mature for her age. My best friend swears she is an reincarnation of someone in our family cause she has always had a grown up vocabulary and attitude. Abbie is very talented and demands attention when she performs for you. She is full of herself and yet treats others with kindness and respect. She is a great cheerleader with a lot of athleticism and with her drive and determination she continues to excel at whatever she does. She is and has always been , the perfect picture of health and i am so grateful for that as we know other children who are sick almost all the time. She definitely has her own set of drums and walks to a very different beat and i think that will always be a plus in her favor. But the day she wants a tattoo, spiked hair and wants to wear all black with chains I assure you we will not be able to compromise. Mother will win on that one. She does procrastinate way too much, especially when it comes to doing her homework. I am currently trying to teach her what her responsibilities to her self are and her responsibility in life is. She seems to be getting it and things are improving...just not fast enough for mom.....She is a typical 9 year old....and PTL....she is finally over the Hannah Montana phase....It's Taylor Swift now...I love being with her , but unfortunately she would much rather be with her friends. Abbie you are your mother's Joy, and if your Daddy could be here he would tell you the same...We could not have dreamed for a more perfect daughter.....Thank you Abbie for bringing me JOY into our lives.
