Heather Cheyenne Parker

Well Heather is officially 12 years old. We had sooo much fun at her birthday party. We played relay games, dodgeball, volleyball, kickball. All the parents played also. I am so proud of Heather for everything that she does. I'm not sure how she has the strength to wake up and get out of bed some mornings. She has some kind of sport to do everyday of the week plus she has homework, after school gate classes, and she helps around the house. Heather is a true blessing from Heaven. I don't know if a lot of people know this, but Heather was born one month early. She only weighed 4 lbs. 15 ozs. She was a tiny thing. She was 17" long. The doctors were almost positive that she was going to have to be in an incubator for a couple of days if not flown to Valley Childrens Hospital. When Heather was born she was perfectly fine. She did not have to go into an incubator, heck...she didn't even need oxygen. She started gaining weight immediately and for those of you that know her can see that she is a very healty 12 year old. I thank God everyday for giving me this special gift. Happy Birthday Heather Cheyenne Parker! Dad and I love you more than anything in the world.
