Sometimes it's hard for me to believe that these two little girls are grown and I have three grandsons! Where did the years go?
I remember when I was 18 and the doctor told me I would never have children because of the severe endometriosis that started when I was 16. Art and I were married in July of 1979 and by September, the doctor had me scheduled for a hysterectomy. The night before surgery, I called and cancelled the surgery and told the doctor I just couldn't do it...I wanted to be a mom so bad...I needed more time!
With the help of a specialist, I eventually gave birth to each of the girls. Stacey in March 1981 and Sherry in November 1982. Three months after Sherry was born, I hemorrhaged and had no choice but to have a hysterectomy...I was 21 at the time.
I am so thankful that God allowed me to have my two beautiful daughters! What a blessing they have been. I loved the "little girl years" and had a lot of fun with them during their "teenage years"! I've never forgotten the two miracles that God performed in my life when He gave them life!
My first Mother's Day was so special as I celebrated being a new mom. It was an incredible feeling as I held my little baby girl in my arms. Then, what a special time when I had two little girls to hold in my arms on Mother's Day! This year was another memorable Mother's Day as I celebrated with my two daughters by my side...their arms wrapped around me, this time! They have been two of my biggest supporters during my fight against breast cancer. God has truly blessed me!
I love you girls...you're amazing young ladies!

I love you too! I can't believe that they told you that you would never have us. Boy were they wrong they didn't know what an awesome God we serve. I am glad I am here at home to help you threw this tough time in your life. You are an awesome Mom! Thanks for all you have taught me.
Yes, you are BLESSED indeed! Through all of my struggles to become a mom,and physical problems, I begged my doctor for a hysterectomy and she is the one who said to me, "I just can't do it." Even though my doctor didn't know it, God's hand was on her. I get to be the mom to my BEAUTIFUL Olivia. I know how you feel in your joy of being a mom. It is one of God's greatest joys for me.
That's one of the sweetest pictures! How precious your blessings are!
That picture makes me feel old. That's exactly how I remember the girls. It's weird to see them now and how they have grown.
Susie, You are amazing!! Your story has touched my life in a very special way. Thank you for the beacon of light you are. Your beautiful girls are following so close in your footsteps. You are a blessed mom who is a blessing to others ;o)
Much love

I love you, too! I'm so glad you didn't give up on your dream to have children. God blessed me just as much when He made me your daughter!!
