Birthday

On this day, 2001, Macayla Grace Smoak was born at Self Memorial in Greenwood, SC. She came out healthy in spite of a challenging delivery for Mom. 

Macayla lived for nine years and died at 11:25 p.m. on this day in 2010. She celebrated 98% of her 9th birthday with us and then stepped into Christ's presence to celebrate so much more! The picture here is of her last birthday cake, provided by sweet friends at a difficult time. It is hard to believe it was three years ago. It seems like a lifetime and a blink of the eye at the same time.

We miss her. This was a tougher day than the last two birthdays. But we know she is whole. We know we will see her again. We grieve, but we grieve with hope.

I am so sorry for your loss of your precious daughter. I found this site because I was looking for instructions on how to build a wheelchair. I have a precious adult son who was born without problems and for unknown reasons or diagnoses, digressed eventually to profoundly retarded and now a functional quadriplegic. He used to ride horses, play ball, speak Spanish,.....he was so precious. I am a RN. I stopped working 6 years ago as his longtime caregiver died and I could not find someone who would give him the personal attention he so needs. I provide his care. As I mentioned on your other site, I really miss going to the beach and was so excited to find your instructions on building a beach wheelchair. God bless you and your family. Thank you for loving a special needs child.
