HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAYA!!!









JUST A FEW PICTURES FROM MAYA'S DAY. WHEN I FIRST WOKE UP THIS MORNING I THOUGHT OF MAYA'S BIRTHMOM. WHAT SHE HAD GIVEN UP A YEAR AGO TODAY. WHAT A SACRAFICE? SHE IS A VERY BRAVE AND STRONG WOMEN THAT ADMIRE A GREAT DEAL. I AM SO THANKFUL THAT SHE CHOSE LIFE. THEN MY THOUGHTS TURNED TO ME. THE SACRAFICES AND FIGHTS THAT I HAVE BEEN THROUGH FOR THIS LITTLE GIRL. SHE IS MY PERFECT ANGEL. NO, I DIDN'T WANT TO SPEND HER FIRST BIRTHDAY IN GUATEMALA. HOWEVER, I SAW WHY WE ARE STILL HERE. MAYA'S FIRST FAMILY GOT TO CELEBRATE HER BIRTHDAY WITH HER. THEY BROUGHT A CAKE AND EVERYTHING. YES, WE HAD 2 CAKES. IT WAS GREAT. I CRIED THE ENTIRE TIME. NOT SURE WHY BUT THE TEARS JUST WOULD NOT STOP.
