yesterday we were able to celebrate cody's 34th birthday. grandma came to watch the kids, so we hit up an early movie and then went for dinner. it was simple, but perfect.
we are so thankful for every moment that God gives us. every moment that cody is healthy and we can create memories that will last a lifetime. we have never been the people who ask "why us?" from the very beginning, we have never asked or questioned this. first, what good does it do? second, why NOT us? what makes us so special that we deserve no pain? why would we wish this on anyone else? because of our hardships, we try to be very purposeful in how we live our life and it's not our job to know "why." God is the only one who knows why, and although we may not understand it now, He has a plan. this is what helps us get through each day.
so, of course I wanted cody's birthday to be special. but, birthdays or not, I try to make every day special. every day has to count.
Sorry I did not get you called yesterday, but spent the day in SF, Grandpa had to get his stitches out. Good news is though they did get it all. Was tired last night and figured you would do something special. You both are amazing, the rest of us are asking why and you are so brave you just accept it. We love you and of course are praying hard everyday and night.
