Today we celebrated my dd9's Baptismal Anniversary. She is the type that likes any kind of attention (being 1 of 9 who wouldn't) so we tried to make it a special day. We took the kids to see the movie Wall-E. Very cute. Not many movies out these days that I can truly label "cute" but this one was. Then we came home to a special meal of  her choice followed by our family ceremony to remember the day she was baptized.

Even though I started to write about our day I feel more like sharing about another thought that has been weighing on me. I know of a couple close to my age, the wife sadly died from cancer leaving 3 children behind. This was two years ago and now I have learned he is to remarry. I am so happy for him but this weighing in my heart continues. How easily replaced we are in this life. No matter how much impact we try to make while we are here, once we die we become replaceable. I understand grieving and how this needs to be in order to emotionally survive........but how sad that makes me feel.

How blessed I am to be celebrating the day my daughter was baptized!
