What a life she has!!!
Well, I want to start by saying my sister needs a break! If you are reading this you most likely read her blog. I think everyone needs to look at their own life and say "I can get through this!" It is a wonderful thing that God is in charge and will only give us what we can handle. My Father told Mandy once that people put a lot on her shoulders because they are small and things will just roll off, but she just keeps carrying everything. Those shoulders are not made to carry such a load! She is always willing to help anyone in anyway she can. She deserves to find more people that will help her without making her feel like some sort of burden. I know I have been one of those people many times and I need to say "SORRY". I wish I had a way of helping Mandy more. I want to say "Mandy you never have to worry again who will help you up and when they will be there..." Even my own husband does not seem to get how hard it can be to live a Fairie Princess life. Yea, she doesn't have to do the cooking and cleaning but has anyone put themselves in her shoes(not her actual shoes they are REALLY small) and tried to go through even part of a day or activity. I do not think Mandy is brave for living her life, but I do think her ability to look past those needs is inspirational!
Well now that I got that out... I am doing good and continue to go through the infertility process. Step by step I get more anxious. I keep praying to God that he is with me and my thoughts stay focused. I took a class at the woman's retreat that really hit home. The speaker told her story of how she felt when she found she was pregnant and the miscarriage she had gone through. Her story matched mine very close. By the end I was in tears and reminded that God has bigger plans. I have only been seeing and focused on what I want and want now. It helped me remember that: God is not ignoring my desire to be a mom but he knows when I should be a mom. I pray that as my next doctor appointments continue I remember that.

You just brought tears to my eyes... Thank you for your words and your countless actions. God made us sisters on purpose you know. I'll hold the lantern and you can chop the wood! =) I love you. I'm praying for you. I know that when God does make you a mom, you'll be the BEST MOM EVER! You've done a great job raising me...

Oh, Heidi,
What a great tribute to Mandy and how she lives her life. But this is also a testimony to the way you lead your life as well. YOU are the one who has always been there for Mandy and everyone else. I see so much of your mom in everything you do.
Praying for God's wisdom, strength and power for you today and everyday.
I love you, Aunt Barb
