Today is my 42nd birthday---man that is OLD!!! Even though 42 is old--I will gladly take it!!!
About a week before Robert and I got married, my cardiologist called and said he would like to visit with Robert and I. At the appointment he said to Robert : "Sheri has a very unique heart condition. When open heart surgery was performed on her at the age of 5 we prayed she would live through it, (I think they told my parents I had about a 20% chance of surviving) we hoped for the miracle of a 10 year old, dreamed of 15 years, tried to imagine her living until she was 20, but never in our wildest dreams did we think she would live to be 27!"
That appointment was 15 years ago and I am still amazing the doctors! I know that I am on borrowed time and so that is why I look forward to getting older---each day and each year is a gift. I just hope that I am doing good things with the extra time that Heavenly Father has given me.
So I am grateful to be old----here's hoping for another 42!!!
