She’s a Fighter

Many of you know by now that Sarah had her baby. Little Katie-girl finally joined us after a long and tumultuous, up and down battle. The planned homebirth turned to a hospital birth that ended with healthy momma and healthy baby. Praise the Lord. 

I’ve had lots of questions about being Oma and if it’s any different being there for your daughter than it is being there for your son. A lot was the same but, yes, there are some differences. 

The question that has been asked most often, though, is, “Were you scared, watching her go through that?” I can honestly answer no. There was never a time that I feared what would happen. I had a peace the entire time. We definitely called on friends to be praying with us, but there was never a fear. The biggest emotion I felt was pride. I’m so proud of that daughter of mine. 

Those of you who know Sarah know her as mild-mannered, submissive, laid-back, peaceable, maybe even complacent to some degree. But, boy, can she ever rise to the occasion when needed. She’s got a lot of fight in her when she’s fighting for the right thing. 

It was a long haul and everyone was tired (no one more so than Sarah) but she never even thought of giving up. She didn’t get a break or a rest, yet she trooped on. I stood in awe. 

And now she has this beautiful gift to show for it. Katie-girl, you’ve got an amazing momma to look up to! ❤️
