They said that Mom wouldn't live past last Thanksgiving. Not a chance. And here we are, a week from Turkey Day, and my heart couldn't be more full. I have learned that life is so much more than what we make it. I have learned to love extravagantly and not regret anything. I have learned to enjoy each moment of life and remember the blessings, even if unseen.
Thanks be to God for providing me with all my needs. And many of my wants. And a mom who can watch me turn 24. And teach me how to be a good friend, believer, sister, aunt, and wife (one day). Mom, there are no words to describe how much I love you... and how grateful I am to God for 2010.

you are so lucky camille! you have a wounderful family!i think abour your mother alot and pray for her, grandma ruth keeps me updated.i couldnt begin to imagine how terrible it must feel to live with that.God has truely blessed you and candice, and God has a purpose and a plan.ALWAYS. i wish we all were closer. i never had a sister, well i have a brother but i dont get to see him so even though i have great friends i still feel like something missing because i dont have a very strong sense of family. so never forget how truely blessed you are and how basic things in life that seem rutine some people really never get to have. and as smart as a dr. may be he isnt God and never has the final say so in life! your mother is truely a survior and a inspiration for all women and mothers!
