Oh how wonderful it was so see my sweet sister, Donna, after 7 years. This picture is two days after her heart valve surgery. None of us could believe how wonderful she looked and how God was in every aspect of her surgery and recovery. The surgery was completely succesful with no complications. This 88 year old sweetheard is amazing!!

We look like twins now, since we are now both old and gray, but growing up we looked so different. She was a dark brunette and I was a redhead. She was several inches taller, but we both have "shrunk"! HaHa
The drive up with my girls was so delightful. It's about a five hour trip. The rain broke the night before and we had dry roads.
We didn't want to put any presure on my sister or her son that lives with them, so we stayed at the Holiday Inn Express near their home. It was perfect as we didn't want to wear Donna out, and we could get a good nights rest and enjoy their buffet breakfast.
God was in every detail of the trip and how we praise Him for the protection, the weather and the wonderful time with my sister, and my girls with their Aunt and Uncle and cousin!
PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW!




So happy for this wonderful reunion!
