The first blessing was the discovery of this blooming rose. It is from one of the two rose bushes we received in honor of Mary Grace after her death from our friends at Catholic Engaged Encounter.
When we received these two bushes they were in full bloom. Since those initial blooms died and fell off, we've been waiting for a new bud to open...
and it finally did, on Thursday.
The second gift came in the form of an answered prayer. We have been struggling with our insurance company who did not want to pay for Mary Grace's delivery and a few specialty procedures because they had not been pre-approved. So for the last three months we have received multiple bills from my OBGYN office, REX Hospital and UNC Women's Specialty Clinic for these services...and Rob has spent much time on the phone with BCBS to get an application in for an appeal and we have been waiting to see if the appeal would be approved or denied. It's been very stressful to receive bills stamped "past due" even after speaking with these offices multiple times over the phone to explain we were in an "appeals process". But yesterday, the appeal was approved which means that our insurance will indeed cover the portion of these bills which we originally expected them to. What a financial and emotional weight lifted! Thank you God! Mary Grace must be praying extra hard for us up in heaven.

What blessings. The rose is beautiful -- how ecstatic you must have been when you saw it on Thursday! I love stories like these of butterflies and flowers and other parts of God's creation appearing on special occasions to reconfirm that our loved ones are safe in the loving arms of our Father -- and are still here with us in spirit.
