My youngest daughter, Isabella, has a birthday coming up on January 30, 2006. It is her very first birthday an it got me thinking about what my family was doing a year ago today. For those of you that remember, Isabella was born 3 & 1/2 months early and weighed 2 lbs.

Needless to say, my wife & I were a wreck. Even after she was born complications arose that were out of my control and being a father that is the worst feeling in the world. I may not be the nurturing type, but the way I see it a father has a responsibility to protect his children. But with her situation I couldn't do anything ease her pain.

So who did I turn to??? The Father of all fathers, my Lord God. And along with your prayers everything has turned out great. Isabella's complications miraculously went away and after 3 long moths in NICU she came home to be with her sister Baylei, me, and my wife.

As I was thinking about our ordeal I searched for the prayer list that went around here on BGR and I can't help but smile when I think of all the people who offered prayer and help during that time. I guess this thread is for you guys and it comes from us with a big THANKS.:Thumbs:

I'll post some pics from Christmas to show you what your prayers have given me.
