HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my baby! Cody is 18 today! What an accomplishment. Where did the time go? He woke up with a smile and feels pretty good about himself. He went to school as usual and had a great day. He wanted to go to Gasho's tonight, the hibachi place. It was nice, just he and I went. He is such a mature young man. I am praying tonight REALLY hard that he passes his driving test tomorrow. We went driving tonight and he is really nervous. I hope he holds it together. We got a call from Casey today too and that always makes us both smile. He sounds great!! I actually started looking at 'mother of the groom' dresses for his wedding in October.

On Monday of this week, Cody and I went to Dowling and registered for his classes. He is thrilled! I am hoping for a smooth transition for him.

We spoke to Uncle Jim and little Matisse was admitted last night with a rash and a fever. Doesn't sound like much but hoping he gets home and soon.

I heard a sweet story today from a colleague of mine. I have worked with her for all of my time at SH and she has told her daughters about Cody. They knew him from his visits to SH years ago. Anyway she said her girls were praying in church this past weekend for Easter and her youngest made sure to say, 'don't forget to pray for Cody'. It brought me to tears. There is some power up there. Not sure why these things happen or why these things happen to certain people and I am sure I will never know. But I do know, it makes us all stronger and there is power in groups and in praying. God Bless and Happy Birthday to my boy!! Love you lots!
