When dawn breaks

When dawn breaks, from my back porch. šŸ§”ā˜€ļøšŸ’›
Have a gentle Monday. ~ ā™”

Good morning from my back porch

Penelope is so happy for the cooler weather. We sat out on the back porch most of the day. Summer has been a scorcher and it’s actually chilly this morning. It’s 44°, down from last week’s 90s. šŸ’›ā˜€ļø Beautiful reprieve!

The Cost of Loving Someone Enough

Nothing is harder, than holding the door for someone you love, and watching them walk through it.

I keep thinking of the sound she made. That single, heavy word when she finally stopped fighting the truth of her own heart. It was the sound of the door closing, even if she hadn’t physically walked through it yet.

I wonder if she’ll ever realize that the light I’m holding isn’t meant to burn her, but to light her steps along the way.

There’s just enough light for the step she’s on.

My beautiful girl

I just got back from Texas, and seeing my Alex. She’s recovering from her second surgery and we await her eye sight to be restored. Meanwhile, her right eye, she has been blind for 10 years, started to slowly regain vision. At first it was blurry like a baby seeing, and now she can read with it. What a miracle.

I decided to drive her down to Galveston so she can see the ocean. We walked to the jetty and then back, then we shopped at Murdocks, but honestly, I just wanted to take her to see the ocean.

I always said I wanted to take her to the ocean when she was little, and something in my heart said today is a perfect day for the beach. We stayed a couple hours, and it sure warmed my heart to see her smile, and for her to see the ocean with her own eyes.

My pray the vision is restored in her left eye, soon. It’s been a tough journey, so I haven’t shared much about it because it’s been a lot to hold. I’m thankful for God’s grace. šŸ™šŸ¼šŸ¤šŸ•Šļø

I love that it was overcast and not too hot. I thought it was interesting that there were no shells.

I think every parent takes videos of their kid in the ocean. We were just a little later in her life. šŸ˜‚

Blue Whale 🐳 Grand Reopening

Today is the 100 year centennial celebration of Route 66. I’m in Catoosa OK to see the reopening of the iconic Blue Whale.

Earlier today Route 66 had the largest Vintage auto show with now over 5,000 cars. Some are showing up here now. Get your kicks on ROUTE 66.

Good morning from my back porch

It’s a little chilly this morning but Penelope doesn’t care. 😁

Once upon the moon

I thought how interesting that during this last moon cycle, sometimes the moon shots look like sunrises.

The Happy Couple

Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Quinn

After years of kissing toads, she’s finally done it. My baby girl is married to the most wonderful man, Mikel.

The best part about him is that he cherishes her as much as I do. I love that he has become her advocate for her healthcare. He takes such beautiful care and loves her.

My mom heart is full.

I wanted to share with you all since many of you might remember when we were going through all our trials and you help me pray through them. Thank you so much for being here and for still answering my posts.

Have a blessed day. Michelle 🩷🩵
