The Births of My Children

The happiest days of my life were the days I brought my children into the world. That is when my life began. It had complete meaning for the first time. Then when I thought I could never love someone with every cell in me, my son was born, and again I was reminded why God gave me life. There is no exact explanation you can identify, but it is amazing.

Crossing the Finish Line

The happiest day of my life was when I crossed the finish line after running 26.2 miles at the Honolulu Marathon. [We] never know what we are capable of doing…until we try. (And, of course, the day I met my husband but nothing beats that feeling of crossing the finish line!)

Living to See My Daughter Graduate

My happiest day was this past Thursday. I was here to see my youngest child, now a young lady of 18, graduate from high school and receive her diploma, Almost one year ago I was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer--I am now terminal.

After graduation we had a party at a local restaurant and as I looked around at my family and friends, I praised God that he granted my wish to be present on this day. There may be other important dates I miss--her wedding, graduation from college, the birth of her children- but I am thankful to have had that one perfect day.
