Two Long Years - Emmy was born into Heaven!

It's been two long years since I kissed my sweet Emmy's face.

Here's the link to the carepages post that I posted two years ago.  It is hard to read, even for myself.  Kara asked us tonight to talk to her about how Emmy passed away.  We gave her as much detail as we think she can understand.  Fortunately, Kara was with Emmy a lot during her hospitalizations so she knows a lot about what Emmy went through prior to being so very sick.

I am just extremely sad today.  There are no words to describe my grief.  I cannot believe that I have survived two years without Emmy.  Two years ago, I thought that I would have to just die with her.  I didn't think that I could go on without her in my life.  I am shocked that I not only have survived, but have started Corrigan Care with the ultimate goal of Emmy's Academy and we just started our Mom's Morning Out for special needs kids last Wednesday.  In all the planning for this MMO, I didn't even think about the fact that it was starting just 4 days from Emmy's 2 year anniversary.  What a blessing from God she is and I am so glad that I was able to have Emmy in my life for those 2.5+ years.

Emmy, I know that God sent you to me to bring me closer to God.  I know that He has a plan for me and my family.  We are working every day to be obedient and to follow His lead.  It is Jesus who has saved us and it is He who will bring us to God!  Praise Jesus!  Please pray for myself and my family as we continue our journey without our beloved Emmy.  She was everything to us and still is.  We talk about and remember Emmy EVERY SINGLE DAY!

I will end my thoughts tonight with this Psalm.  It is so fitting for my life and my families journey.  No matter what you do, focus on God and you will be just fine!

Psalm 23

A psalm of David.

1The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

2He makes me lie down in green pastures,

he leads me beside quiet waters,

3he restores my soul.

He guides me in paths of righteousness

for his name’s sake.

4Even though I walk

through the valley of the shadow of death,^a

I will fear no evil,

for you are with me;

your rod and your staff,

they comfort me.

5You prepare a table before me

in the presence of my enemies.

You anoint my head with oil;

my cup overflows.

6Surely goodness and love will follow me

all the days of my life,

and I will dwell in the house of the Lord

forever.
