A Grateful Heart

Well, here is my little corner in the cyber world.
I will attempt to be a diligent blogger. Nadine has lovingly designed my header.
Thanks sweet heart. I love it.

Today I feel very grateful for my family.
I am so proud of, Nadine, who is so strong and steadfast. Who is a beautiful person inside and out.
Sasha, for her strength and diligence and embracing life, with such joy.
Also so proud of her for just been accepted for Honours at Pretoria University for 2010.
Luke, for his exceptional example and cheerful outlook, who listens to the spirit so carefully. He has decided to send a message to his sisters everyday and so mom and granny are also in the loop. Today's message was. "Faith is all that dreamers need to see into the future."
I feel so blessed and priviledged to have had the priviledge of rearing such valiant spirits.






I am thankful for Rob, for being a wonderful husband, my best friend and fantastic father. For his unwavering service to Heavenly Father.

  5. Melissa, I love watching your little family grow. I think you are a wonderful mom. I am so glad someone invented blogging,(not that I am to consistent right now) because I can still feel like you're part of my life, even though so far apart. You have always been one of my very favourite people,that I have had the priviledge of growing with, through Primary and Young Women.
    Thank you for your encouraging words to Nadine, it helps a lot.
    I am looking forward to seeing the Coombs family in future posts. Mwhaa

  6. Chatty, you certainly are a beautiful family. We love and miss you! I am thrilled that you are blogging. Leaving South Africa ten years ago, tore away many dear friendships. Blogging helps patch the sensitive loss.
