As I typed the title tears began to fill my eyes. I don’t know how to express in words how happy I am to have arrived at the first birthday of my dear boy. So many people over the last year have told me “when he gets past a year things will get better”. I have clung to that and eagerly anticipated this day. And you were right…things ARE getting better.<\/p>\n
One year ago today our world was spun upside down. We were once again, looking at loosing our eleventh child. I get choked up even thinking about that day. When I saw Ty for the first time I knew my life would never be the same. Irregardless of whether he lived or died…this little tiny boy changed his mamma. Ty has hit many physical milestones this year. Milestones that we didn’t know if he would ever reach. I hit many milestones too. Milestones of faith and love. Milestones I never thought I would have to face and didn’t think I could reach. Milestones like learning how to live day in and out with fear. Learning to love someone so much more than you love yourself that your needs are at the bottom of the list. Understanding what the word unconditional means and how to apply it. Realizing a bond that bridges far beyond the boundaries of the uterus and encaptures the heart beyond human comprehension. <\/p>\n
I will be grateful for eternity for the precious gift of Ty and we look forward to celebrating the miracle of his life today!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
