In a year...

I'm amazed at all that has happened this year, sweet baby boy. The journey to you was an adventure, and now a year has gone by.

I sometimes get amazed when I look back at the pictures of us... both of our lives were vulnerable... you in the NICU barely able to breathe... me in the room across the hall, my blood pressure uncontrollable. At the time, I was only just coping with each minute, not able to fully grasp the situation and how things might have turned out. As I look back I am extremely grateful. We survived little boy! You and me, together.

You give my own life so much joy. It's such a privilege to watch you grow up and to stand witness to your life. I can only pray that I can parent you in the best way for who you are.

Thanks for surprising us with beautiful blessings and teaching me about what it is to cherish. Happy almost one year...
