I choked down these words today to give praise to God. The Dutch birthday song is as follows.

Long shall you live, Long shall you live, Long shall you live in the Glory, In the Glory, In the Glory. Hipe Hipe Hoora, Hipe Hipe Hoora, Hip Hipe Hoora!

I live everyday in God’s Glory as a cancer patient even when I am crying because I have been allowed extra time on this earth to experience my only child’s 3rd birthday, no matter how much excruciating pain I am now in as a result. I am deeply thankful.
