"Thank You Lord For September 19th!!"

Another long post.... But it's been a long time coming and now has more meaning than ever before!!!!!❤️

So it was September the 19th..... Two young high school kids went on their 1st Date. ❤️Mike & Joy❤️ 
Who would have ever thought that date would have led to a Marriage and then 2 daughters and and a family full of blessings and life in Tennessee?

Thirty something years later.... Mike, Daddy, (Michael) passed away too soon from this earth. 

Life goes on as it does and on September 19th a new baby was born. Gunner Michael Orange was born in Texas and was named after his PeePaw that he never got to meet. πŸ’™
Gunner's family grows even more totaling 4 children for his mama & daddy to care for in Texas. That's a lot of mouths to feed and care for. We are so thankful that Mama gets to stay home and care for the children and keep them bellies full and cow licks slicked down for school!
Daddy has a wonderful job that allows him to work from home.

 After Daddy being with that company for over 10 years.... The company gets bought out and lay offs and restructuring takes place. Daddy takes a bullet. What a shock. Thankfully his company takes good care of him and things are gonna be ok for a while while he searches for a new job. Thankful for sweet family &a friends who prayed and kept us going even with so much "unknown"! ❤️
Finally after 4 months...he gets "the offer"... With a start date of:
September 19th!!!

With grandchildren galore, MeeMaw is hanging on for the "Joy" ride that this life has to give. She loves to visit Texas when she can to see how much her grandchildren have grown and have some family time with them that's Texas Style. She is full of life and love for many. However, she works full time and takes care of her elderly mother. It doesn't give her a lot of free time. She has a great job working for the state of Tennessee but needs a change. She needs to be closer to home and be able to be off earlier to help with all that she does for her mother. She spends over a year in a position she doesn't enjoy hoping for something to open up. It finally happens. While she was in Texas visiting.. She gets the call!!!! Her start date will be September 19th!!!!

Is their any correlation here????????
September 19th Mama & Daddy's 1st date!
September 19th Gunner Michael is born and named after Daddy... His PeePaw!
September 19th Nathan's new job he really needed- starts!
September 19th Mama's new job she's been waiting a long time for- starts!
She finds out when she is in Texas!
 (With Nathan... With Gunner Michael... with Me!)

So Today....it's September 19th!!!!
It will never just be Gunner Michael's Birthday.... It will be a day that Heaven Came Down and filled our souls. The Lord takes care of us and even reminds us with days that are only sentimental and special to "us"and ALL CONNECTED to Daddy! 

Thank you Lord for answered prayers. Thank you Lord for providing for our family! Thank you Lord for the gift of Life with Gunner Michael 7 Years ago today.
Thank you for young love that begin with Mama & Daddy years ago on this day. Thank you that even though life ended on earth for Daddy.... His life is now in Heaven with you! 
Thank you Lord for September 19th!!!!
