Ten years ago today, my eldest daughter celebrated her first birthday while in surgery to have a cancerous left kidney removed. Tonight, we will be celebrating the 11th birthday of the tall, beautiful, vibrant, charming, talented young lady she has become, thanking Almighty God for His kindness, mercy, and miraculous healing power all the while. Thank you, Jesus, and happy birthday, Emily!
