The Burke Family

Big thanks to Carin and the staff from One Day to Remember, Inc for a memorable outing with my children! We were blessed on August 12th, 2022 (one week before my surgery) to have a memorable outing of our choice. We had our pictures taken by an amazing photographer named Jacey, saw some of God's wonderful creatures at Zoo Atlanta, ventured through space at The Illuminarium, and quench our appetites at Metro Diner Cafe. We laughed, joked, and shared memorable conversations that strengthened our bond. I'm so grateful and appreciative to raise humans that are not only compassionate but humbled and thoughtful. I may be experiencing many life-altering health battles but my assurance rests heavy in the knowledge of whose I am, who I am and why I was created. My soul is rested, my heart is selfless, my spirit contrite, and my mind is sound. We wished my eldest could have been there with us, even though he was thousands of miles apart. 

Many may look at my situation as irrelevant, pitiful, or even empathetic. I live life in full optimistic mode and try to raise my children as such. Life is bigger than our circumstances, lacks, and situations. Whether we know it or not, everything is intentional and promised to work out for our good. My faith is a force to be reckoned with; it supersedes the various realities on this Earth. I believe my purpose will impact many lives directly and indirectly via the trials, struggles, and experiences that I have and will overcome!  This setback is a setup for the greatness we will produce on the Earth-in sickness and in health!

Those that have contributed thus far, thank you for lessening the burden for me so that I can recover from surgery #1 effectively. Those that will give after reading this update, your contributions are magnanimous and forever grateful! More updates to follow...
