Beauty instead of ashes

It's been four years since we suddenly lost mom due to a massive heart attack/stroke. I'll never forget getting the call from my sister that April 2nd night in 2010. I went to bed early that night since I was four months pregnant with Ainsley and tired after a long week of work. It was also Good Friday. I miss many thing about mom, most of all calling her to see how her day was going and getting her advice on life. I still have her number in my phone. I see so much of my mom in Ainsley-her loving heart and her spunk for life! 

"... to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair."  -Isaiah 61:3
