First, my baby boy is here. That is a blessing in itself. So many people out there do not get to share this day with their children. Though I am not holding him, I am with him. I can't help but think of my brother, who has served over seas for three terms of nine monthes each. He wasn't with his children at all. Then I have my sister, who lost her son to S.I.D.S a week before Thanksgiving three years ago. So me asking to hold him is a little greedy when I think of what they've been through.
Next, he is making improvement. Another blessing. Earlier this week things seemed to be going all wrong. Then when I couldn't handle it anymore, things turned around. God is just amazing like that. There are so many babies out there that aren't making improve or that are terminally ill. i can only imagine what is going through their minds. For now on when I get down I will look back and think of how I felt today. Completely blessed.
Finally, I have a family going through this with me. Brian, my husband, has been completely amazing. He has stood by my side and went about and beyond to make sure I feel loved. He has done things other husbands wouldn't consider doing. I have our parents, who make sure we have everything to make this hospital stay as comfortable as possible. I also have our friends, who at this point have become family also. When I met them I gained some extra siblings. Speaking of siblings, mine are amazing. I couldn't ask for more.
Those phone calls and visits that I was dreading, I have come to love. I realize now they were here because they new I needed support. I just took getting to my lowest point to be able to look to the top.
Why am I telling you all of this? I am hoping someone out there will come across this and it will help them get through whatever it is they are trying to overcome. So with that I end this with
Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!!
