On August 15th my youngest son married the women of his dreams. What a blessed day for our family. The Spirit of the Lord moved freely throughout the Chapel and all through the reception, rejoicing with us at the union of these two beautiful souls. Among all the pain and suffering in this life comes these moments of pure joy and we give thanks.
August is a hard month for me as Angela's birthday is the 31st. The second anniversary of her death follows immediately on Sept. 1st. Every year I must prepare for whatever is to come over this time period. I ask God for strength and comfort for I know I will need that at the very least. Sustaining grace is the gift the Lord has provided for me over these last two years, I have great faith that He will continue to provide it.
About Me
- BrokenButLoved
- My daugther passed away on September 1, 2007, the day after her 22nd birthday from an accidental overdose of heroin. She battled her addiction for eight years and suffered from mental health issues. I miss her with all my heart... In October 2008 God called me into action and I am reaching out to those with addiction issues. My dream is to grow BrokenButLoved substancially over the next several years. I know this is my calling. To share our tragic story and give hope to others. I am currently in the process of writing a book on our experiences. I feel so blessed to know Christ because I know my daughter is free from pain, scarless and in the joyous prescence of the Lord.
