The C stands for ...


When we were in the hospital something amazing happened!
Well... I think it was pretty amazing, anyway...



It is very uplifting/humbling to see your life story written down by somebody else, it sure makes you feel very blessed! I really hope you like Emily's article!

And i am sorry but you have to click the link in order to get to the article (maybe even open a new window)...

Chasing a Dream: One woman's fight for a Dairy farm life


...

Things are going well. Every new day is a better one then the day before. Hopefully we are going to see the girls today! And i am sure happy to be back here with all of you!

    I read the article. You are amazing Leontien! You really are! Such a great example to us all. I am humbled and grateful to be able to be a blogger friend of yours. We all have weak moments, and I'm betting yours are really severe, but know we are all praying and hoping for you. I hope it gives you the strength you need, along with that beautiful horse of yours.

    Leontien I love when I open up my blog and there you are, it makes me very happy.Oh I am positive we are all glad you are back seeing your girls and taking the time to tell us what is going on in your life. You are amazing Miss Leontien I love the article. I have never met you but I think I know everything I need to know about you. YOU ROCK.
    You are the strongest girl I know and I am so happy you are doing well. I am still keeping you in my prayers and I know the girls help us when we are trying to cope with things outside the farm and our control. My girls get me through too, funny maybe for some but I understand it.
    Congrats on the article it describes the woman I WILL meet someday.
    Keep going my friend you are doing great. Your family and especially Bastiaan are amazing. xxoo B
