I turned 33 a couple days ago – on the 9th.  It was a great day!  We went to church, had lunch at one of our favorite places, had a brief nap, made homemade ice-cream, and my baby girl took her first step!  (which she hasn’t done since then by the way.) 

However, turning 33 is also a bit bittersweet for me.  You see, 33 is the age that my mom passed away due to complications from Multiple Sclerosis.  I was 9 at the time.  Now I find MYSELF – 33 – with my own almost nine year old (and 3 others).  I now place myself in her shoes, and I can only imagine how she must have felt – knowing that she was soon leaving this earth for a much more glorious place; yet at the same time the heartbreak she must have felt leaving behind her loved ones.  Truthfully, I can’t quite put my mind around it.

33 – it seems so young now.
