It Only Took Seven Years


It only took 8 1/2 months for God to form you.

It only took one minute for us to fall in love with you.

It only took 3 days for the hole in your heart to heal.

It only took 3 weeks for you to come from home the hospital.

It only took one year for you to learn to talk,

It only took mommy's tears and two years for you to walk.

It only took three years until you ran around.

It only took four years until you rode a bus.

It only took five years for you to shine in school.

It only took six years until all your friends thought you were cool.

It only took seven years until they all could say-

"The doctors were wrong, she is very strong and will no more be delayed"

Praise God for He is Nicole's Maker who formed her heart, hole and all, and knew all her strengths and weaknesses. Her Father knew that at seven years of age she would graduate from her "special educational and physical limitations" and prove them all wrong.
We were told at the end of this school year that Nicole no longer qualifies to recieve special educational help and physical therapy. She has met all her goals and is exceeding everyones expectations.

Those are the sweetest memories of Nicole . . . what a tear-jerker. I remember feeling so panicked the morning we found out she was born early. But, she is a fighter and God has protected her every step of the way. You go Nicole!!
