Let's Say Thanks to our Troops

January 13, 1988

At this hour 22 years ago I could not sleep in wonder and awe of the miracle child God had given to me.
We knew her name would be Anne, but could not decide on the first name of Alethea until the day I was dismissed from Seton Hospital in Austin, Texas . . much to the dismay of the woman in charge of birth certificates!

She was not mine; she belongs to the world.

she still has a mother who loves her, thinks of her and prays for her well being.

Christmas again Finally!

After ten very long and painful years, family traditions are once again present in our house!  In fact, we made popcorn balls . . .the last time we did that, there were little girl scouts and Christmas caroling to boot!

Alethea Anne Swift

I have a book, purchased on a trip to visit Aunt Mary Anne called "To My Daughter, With Love".  In the last nine years, I have been given a very rich family history regarding the Bakers and the Hogans, which has been placed into this book with the hope that someday my daughter will actually want to look into this side of her family.  God-Mothers always know where these books are kept.

In the meantime, I have been blessed with many other daughters and sons . . .

Its an incredible walk!
