Sweet, Sweet S!

Yesterday our sweet S turned 2!

My heart has been quite full thinking of the path that led us to our sweet S. Someday I may be able to put those years into words to share, but not today. It is still very emotional and intense for me. I do want to get it down though, so that we never forget those years. I certainly don't dwell on them, but I can't dismiss them either. I think it's because I now see that the valley we went through has made the peak that much greater! To bear so much pain and true despair has made the gift of human life precious to us in a way that was incomprehensible before.

From your song, sweet S, God Bless the broken road that led us straight to you!

Here are some photos of S's big day:


The day started with S's favorite breakfast treat, followed by demands and screams for more, all day long!


Here he is loving the birthday messages sent via email.


We picked G up at cricket club and S joined right in the game.



Happy Birthday precious one!
