A big Hurdle Mood
Thursday, June 18, 2009 | An Inspiring story
Yesterday my new grandson was born, his name is Daniel after my husband. My grandkids live about 45 minutes away from us. For the last 7 years we have been driving to see them a couple times a month. We would got a back woods way and talk and laugh. I havent been to see them because I was scared to drive alone, we never dorve it alone always together. So I put on my brave face and drove myself to the hospital. It was long and scary, I talked to my sister on the phone the whole way there. On the way back I cried and laughed with my self the way we used to do it. I evently arrived home and said a pryer, and thanked him for keeping me safe. I am so proud I did it I thought Id never go, but I did it for my husband and my grandson. I think I just might go see them again real soon. Dawn

    Well done Dawn - I always talk to Rod when I'm scared about stuff and it really helps me to get through it.
    I'm sure you will go on that trip again soon.
    Hugs, Angela

    Hi Dawn,
    It's strange but I would often feel fearful of driving certain roads, especially the ones with heavy traffic, but now I find I do it with no problems. I know that Rich being a truck driver and never afraid to drive, has given me this new found courage. They are our angels and watch over us all the time!
    Much love to you and your family, Mo

    One small step in the right direction--conquering that which we think we can't do. Congratulations on the birth of your grandson. I hope he brings you joy and peace.

    Dawn - you did good! Your grandson is adorable! My long time employee had a baby 5 months ago, and when I hold him, it heals my heart. Congratulations on the baby, and on driving to see him - I used to drive to NJ all the time, and now I'm lucky if I go 2 miles! Hugs, Marsha
