Today was our first day back to church at FABC since July 5th, 2009. It was so strange walking into the worship center empty handed, not pushing Baylee in her wheelchair to "our" spot. We always sat in the back where her wheelchair fit right next to the edge of the pew and I sat next to her. Duane sat in the sound booth behind us. It was just too difficult for me to sit in our usual spot, so Duane and I sat up front with the Pastor's family. A very different view...we were use to looking at the back of everyone's head.
The last song was When We All Get To Heaven.
"When we all get to heaven
what a day of rejoicing that will be
when we all see Jesus
we'll sing and shout the victory."
Duane & I were both crying and KNOW we will see Baylee again in Heaven.
Bill said the announcements and thanked everyone for us. After the service I broke down. It was such a difficult day for both of us.

Oh Sonda, if I were there I would give you a huge hug! You will have to settle for a cyber hug instead. It will take some time to get used to things, I'm sure. You will make it, don't push yourself too much. Just let the Lord help you figure things out.

I can imagine how hard that was but good that you could do it. I'm sure it had to be good to be around the people who love you and understand. Each day should get better in your long walk!
