Emma

This is EMMA:)

 

This is my beautiful niece! She just turned 7 and is in 1st grade, it's crazy how old all my nieces and nephews are getting! Emma has such an amazing spirit, especially for a child. She is the best big sister and is always helping her brother and sister out. 

There is a HUGE spot in my heart that has been taken over by my nieces and nephews and I am so grateful that I have been able to have older siblings who have brought these amazing people into my life, I couldn't imagine my life without them. Emma has to have surgery on her heart on September 22. I don't know how to express or explain how I feel about this. I wish more than anything that I could be the one going through all of this and not my little niece. Sometimes life doesn't seem fair to me and I don't understand it. It's hard for me to put my trust in the Lord and just know that everything WILL be okay, it's something that I need to get better at. I can't wait until I get to see Emma after her surgery is done and just get to hug her knowing that she won't be having pain or anything else that has come from this.
