A Year Already?

Yesterday we celebrated Mary Joseph's birthday. January 19th was the day she delivered, though she was no longer alive. She would be 5 months old now had she lived. But, then we would not have the blessing of this little one who is now growing in my womb. So we baked a cake, decorated it, and celebrated the blessing of her short life. And asked for her intercession. It was a joyful day with tinges of sadness.

Mary Joseph, pray for us.

Thanks! I wanted a fun, happy way for the kids to remember their sister.
