The end of 2007....what a year it has been

Well, it's now the final days of 2007. How do I describe the year of 2007 that I have just lived....I don't know where to start and won't try. It's been an amazing year. I've walked through much of it blind-folded as many new parents do - but I've survived and Ebony's morphed in the most beautiful daughter I could wish for - what more could I ask of this last year...nothing. But what I do ask of the year that lay ahead is for wisdom to help her do life well. That's no small ask - it's a very, very deep and difficult ask. Life is tough and because I'm older I desperately want to help her do the journey of life as a 'complete' person (I hear many say 'yeah sure') - but I want to try. I want to help her be confident, but not TOO confident.....happy, but not unaware of the sadness in the world......joyful in all things - good or bad, wise - but only pain brings wisdom...gosh it's SO hard. Anyway - to end this entry, enjoy a few (more) photo's of our family enjoying time down at the local river and pool. A strange ending to an entry like this - but there are times when it's just hard to find the words....
