Tears of JOY!!!

Hey everybody!!!  I hope you are all having a blessed week!!! 

I had to share my great news!!!  Tonight me and my 2 year old were cleaning out some boxes in my closet (as we just moved into our 1st house that we are buying!!!)  and I was going through some old things, and just getting rid of some junk...  Well my daughter was playing with all the crap that I was throwing in the junk pile, and I just let her be.  Hey she was entertained, and for once it wasn't by Dora!  lol  Well She kept saying "look momma, look..."  I just kept saying, ohhh and awww  to her, just to keep her busy, but I turned around, and I am still not sure where she found it at.

My mom had given me a necklace a couple months before she passed away.  Its a cross and the back its engraved, it says "You mom will always be in your heart!  Love, mom."

I thought this necklace was lost for good, as I haven't seen it in almost 4 years.  I thought it has been lost in one of our 6 moves in the past 4 years!  (we seem to lose a lot of stuff that way)...

I BURST into tears when I saw what she had found, and I kept hugging my baby, telling her thank you!!!  She kept asking me "Why tear mommy?, Why?"  and "why sad mommy?"  I was trying to explain that mommy was not sad but tears for joy!!!

I have had a really hard time dealing with my mom's death 5 years ago,and it still gets to me (I was only 18 when she passed.) 

But today was a great day, and someday when my daughter is old enough, I will pass down the necklace to her! 




Well the reason I am telling you all this, is because I have been 2ed guessing have the WLS for the past week, and not sure that I was making the right decision.  When my mom was still here, and coherent enough to hold a conversation, she had told me in a private  talk between her and I, that my weight really concerned her, and that I needed to do something about it, before it was too late...

I feel like me finding this necklace today, is like a sign, telling me that she is behind me 100% for WLS.  I have been praying about it a lot too asking for guidance...  :-)  I HAVE finally found my answer to my prayers! 

Okay enough about my day, and thanks for listening!!!

Hope everybody is enjoying there holidays, and HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!

That is so awesome that you have that back. Let me tell you I am just over 6 weeks out of RNY and if I had to I would do it all over again. I am down just 35 lbs but the difference it has made already is fantastic!

That is such a great story, it is so great to have precious things to pass to our children and I'm sure your daughter will wear it proudly someday!

Sincerely that is the sweetest thing I ever heard. God works in mysterious ways, good luck with your surgery and you'll be in my prayers.
