Brittany is 18 years old today!It is hard to believe, but 18 years ago today I had been pacing the floor of Kaiser Hospital in Bellflower, CA with my sister because she was having a baby. We would walk and walk. Each bed I passed by through the night I would wish that I could lay down and take a nap. But, I kept on walking because the nurses said it helped with labor. She had gone into the hospital the evening before on October 23rd. When I arrived my mom, stepdad, and Krista's friend Mike was there. In the early morning after the sun came up she delivered Brittany. The delivery went well except for the cord being around Brittany's neck. I felt a moment of panic but they just took care of it and soon Brittany was born.
My sister died from an automobile accident in 1992. It seems like yesterday and a long time ago all at the same time. What makes it more really is to look at the beautiful young lady that Brittany has become and then I realize that time has passed. I didn't know how it was possible to live without Krista in the world. It took years to overcome the sadness and to accept her death. Now there is sweet memories and the promise that I will see her again one day in heaven. I know I will as sure as I am breathing... I am only one breath away from seeing her again.
But for now... it is Brittany's day! The day she becomes an adult. I pray that she makes good choices and plans out a future. I pray for a man to come along is God's timing that will be a good husband to her, and many other things. The future is bright for you, Brit.
