Well, my program is over, I am officially a Master's prepared Nurse. It is hard to believe that when I started the program my dearest little one, Sophia Grace was with me. She encouraged me to do it by her smile and love. Little did I know that life would be so hard, I would unite with her, lose her to God for my earthly lifes' remainder, unite with many others and watch them walk a hard road.
I think tonight of those that our family me through the journey and am amazed....
Lisa, such a trooper. Who would have known that by her joining me in my recover, she would go before me to Glory.
Mark, a man a few years my senior that I had as a patient, then watching him live to be at my own daughter's funeral and die a miserable death of victory and courage all at the same time.
Avery, my darling dear, such a girlie girl, a lovey-dovey, a yummy lil thing with a heart of gold. So much fun to be with, who would have thought that mearly months after she went for her first "swim" with me she would be gone ahead?
Erin, what can one say about this Spunky lil girl, no means no and yes means yes and don't you dare push a button or you are gonna hear about it! What a dollface sweetie pie and to prove it, she could give love like no other.
For Carol, my dear friend, super-survivor of an ependymoma with multiple recurrences, but for her pain these last two years, for her struggles, wow, who would have known. She is a constant voice of reason in my life....
Man alive! WOW!
If the roller coaster ride wasn't enough, my nephew joined the fight against Cancer last fall when he was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma!
What a ride, must keep fighting.

Do we miss Sophia? How could any two parents not miss their darling daughter! We love her and miss her and think some times that life should never take a child from their parents' arms and into the eternity we all long for ahead of time...but God is gracious to remind us that life is precious and sweet and that the Earth is a gift beneath our feet!

Keep praying, there are so many who need help in this time, for the struggles, for the finances, for hope for their future...for all of it! Keep praying!

Thanks for the love,
The Moore Family
