Sometimes in life, we question "Why Me?" Why is this happening to me? Why does God think I can handle this? Why, out of all the world, ME? Usually, with these thoughts, are worries and pain. Today, I ask the question in awe and praise. Why Me, Lord? Why am I so richly blessed in being Thessaly's mother?!
Three years ago today, Thessaly was sent to live with our family. What a beautiful day it was! What a beautiful life she is!
Thessaly is our doll baby. She is our cuddle bug. She is our sweet, sweetheart, Thessy! From the day she was born, she has always been a constant joy. As a baby, she never cried (honestly, she didn't!). She slept through the night by 2 months and to this day is our best sleeper. Thess was born with a pure and tender heart, always thinking of others. From the beginning, she could sense peoaple's moods and know just what to do. If one was tired, she'd bring her blanket. If one sneezed, she'd bring a kleenex. If one was sad, she'd curl up in their lap and just be with them. Her first words were to make sure everyone else was taken care of; if you gave her a snack or a hug or anything, she'd immediately ask, "And Mama? and Jo? and Dela? and Dada?" making certain we all were as happy as she.
For some reason, God took a look at our family and chose to grace us with this precious child. Who can help but smile when they take a look at her loving eyes and pinchable cheeks?! Thank the Lord for three years with our Thessy!!!!
