Today marks the 5th anniversary of my sister's accident. It's hard for me to believe that 5 years have passed since that tragic day that changed my life forever. It's days like today that make me stop to reflect on how far God has brought me and my family over the past 5 years. I know it is only by God's grace that we have been able to move forward - not forgetting my sister, but being able to live with the loss and still have joy in life. I see how we have evolved over the years - from complete devastation at the 1 year anniversary to being able to cry and laugh at the wonderful memories we have today. I'm thankful for the peace that God has given me to supernaturally trust in his plan all these years, even though it hasn't been easy and at times very painful. I think about how he created these lives in me and orchestrated the timing so I would have the ultrasound to find out the sexes around this anniversary - giving my family such a happy event to get us through this weekend. So with that being said, I praise God for the 23 years I had to share with my sister. I praise God that he chose her for my family (she was adopted). I praise God that I know without a shadow of a doubt that Meredith knew I loved her. And I praise God that He has grown me through this.
