Returning to work, missing loved ones and a sweet baby boy blesses my day :)

Hi Dad!
These are Facebook posts from my first couple of days back at work after you passed. It was hard to go back to normal life where nobody knew just by looking at you that your heart was shattered in a million pieces. Life has to move forward though, even with the pain. A sweet baby boy blessed my day and reminded me that every day holds its blessings for someone. I was so happy to meet this beautiful little red headed baby boy born on the day you were called home. He was pure sweetness sent straight from Heaven. Nothing happens by chance Dad. You always knew that. Everything meant something to you. You knew it all was orchestrated by The Lord Himself. I am so happy that you shared that belief and so many others with me. Thank you Dad! I love you Dad!
Love,
Mary Ann

"So today was my first day back at work since my dad died. Work provided far too much alone time! There were no distractions to keep me out of my head. It was just me and the clothes for hours. All I could do is think of my dad. All I could do was think of all the people I have lost in my life. Some have died. Some have moved away. Some just live too far away to ever see. And then some of them I have just lost touch with. It is very sad really. I miss so many people!!!! My dad and my babies are at the top of my list, but my list is long! I want you ALL to know how much I value each and every single one of you!! I am so grateful to have you all in my life!! There are so many of you that I don't get to see or even talk to as much as I would like. I want you all to know that I think of you often and would love to be able to spend some time with you. You are all a valuable part of my life. I pray that I get the chance to see you all at least once more, but even if I don't please remember that I care and that I love you all!!!! God bless you all!!!!"

"I just met a cute little redheaded baby boy who was born on June 15, 2013. Such a horribly tragic day for our family! It was the day my dad was killed in a car accident. June 15, 2013 is not a horrible day though! It is just that something horribly happened on that day. But something amazingly beautiful happened on that day too!! Sawyer happened!!! It was so nice to meet this happy family who was given such a huge blessing on that day!! It was nice to meet someone who June 15, 2013 was a joyous day for!! It was nice to see Sawyer's sweet little smile!! So comforting!! Thank you Lord for June 15, 2013!! Thank you Lord for Sawyer and all the other babies like him!! They bring so much joy to the world and to the lives of those around them!! God bless that family!!"
