Happy 11th Birthday to the sweetest girl in the whole world, Aven McKenzie. I cannot believe the last time we were together, you were only 6-years-old! I cannot even imagine how beautiful you are now. Remember all the wonderful memories we have and hold on to those. Riding horses together and learning how to ride when you were just a baby. Delivering baby goats together. Raising butterflies from caterpillars. Rescuing many animals over the years and you being right by my side to help them. I cannot wait to see you and begin a world of adventures and fun again.

I fight every day to get to you and your brothers and I will never stop. Grandmom is fighting to see the three of you as well. We love you so very much and cannot wait to see you again. Everyone sends their love in our family that you have been cut off from for so long. I love you with all of my heart!!!

My health hangs on and I will never give up until I get to my children. I saw medical this weekend briefly and of course they deferred me to this week to see the providers for all the fluid collection in my chest and back. Of course they did nothing to alleviate the pain and swelling. The only timing that is perfect is God's timing and I know it is all coming soon!
