This Day In Time, 23 Years Ago.....

This day in time, 23 years ago.....

October 15, 1991 was a game changer for me. From that day forward, I was forever a different person. I got a new name. I got a new job. I got a new gift, and I got a new life. 

The rules of life that I had so foolhardy thought I had begun to master at the age of 23.....simply changed. The identity that I had become surprisingly comfortable with, "Johnnie Casey's Wife", vanished. The job of preschool teacher that I thought was the hardest and most rewarding that I had ever done, became a sweet memory of the past. The gift I received, the most precious I had ever been given and the new life that was now mine.....priceless!

My new name became, "Trey Casey's Mom". That was a promotion, kinda like going from the Governor of Texas to President of the United States (only I am much better at my job!) and my new job description was: to raise a young man who is respectful and kind, smart and generous, loving and compassionate. One who will contribute to society and make this world a better place to live in. One who will fearfully love God and spread His message to others through his thought, his actions, his words and his convictions. 

My new life? One I would never have dreamed possible....practically perfect in every way! To the man that stole part of my heart from his Daddy, Happy Birthday Trey Casey! You will always be my baby boy! Thank you for making me a better person!!
