My surgery is on Tuesday and I was so worried I would miss the birth of my 2nd grand daughter but I was blessed that she arrived 2 weeks early and I was there. Now I just need to rest up❤️️❤️️❤️️
God had this already scheduled for you! And just like this wonderful event you were able to share, He also has Tuesday handled for you! Go in strong knowing He has this, and soon you will be holding that new baby and making all new memories with her!!!
So glad you were there for your granddaughter's birth! Will keep you in my prayers of your surgery on Tuesday---for a successful "fix" and quick healing.
