My Life After Loss: Happy 1st Birthday, Bobby & Maya!

Happy 1st Birthday, Bobby & Maya!

So... Here we are... 365 days from where we were. And now, Bobby and Maya are a year old. I dont even know what to say. I know I will post later with how we spend the day, but for now, thank you- each and every one of you- for the endless prayers and support you gave us through our entire journey, especially during the trying times. This year has gone by so fast, and I can't believe we are here already.

Happy Birthday, Bobby. My baby boy. My sweet bruiser of a son. When you look at me with those big brown eyes and give me one of your famous sloppy kisses, my heart melts completely. I am so taken with you.

Happy Birthday, Maya. My precious girl. My loveable, cuddlable, piece of sweetness on earth. When you clap because you are so happy to see me or leap into my arms from everyone else, it causes my breath to catch. I cannot imagine life without you.

Thank you, God, for these miracles... Life wouldn't have been the same without them. Without all of them. I wouldn't have known that. I wouldn't have wanted to have known it. But thank you for making sure we were able to love and have them all.

Happy Birthday, babies!!!
