Happy 9th Birthday Donovan! You are officially now more than double the age (4yo) from when I was last able to see you. I bet you look a lot like Vincent did at 9 years old when I last saw him. So very handsome. Your little voice, which is the last I heard of my three precious loves keeps me going and fighting to get back to you. You said on the phone to me, "Where are you Mommy? I need you! I need to sweep wif you!!" in that beautuful baby voice. I loved every night sleeping with you and miss it so much. I miss every thing about the three of you. I can NOT wait to see you again soon. I hope you have a fabulous birthday and I will never miss another once we are back together as we should be.


My team compiled a picture repository of the years of my life with my children and it was 25,000 pictures deep! You can't even attempt to say I did not spend every moment with my kids. I love them to the moon and back. There is no mistaking it.


The story of Solomon in the Book of Kings is a reminder of how truth comes through. Solomon determined the actual mother of the living infant by seeing through the lies and deceit. One of the woman lied and said that the other woman killed her baby and that the living baby was hers. Solomon could see through and who truly loved the child, the woman who was the real mother of the infant, and the deceitful ways of the woman who lied. That type of wisdom will pervade into my life story soon with my children. You cannot wrongfully separate a mother from her children. The truth will be determined.
