One Year Ago


This is what I looked like exactly one year ago. It doesn't seem that long and yet it feels like another lifetime. One year ago I was merely a couple weeks away from meeting one of the most special people I will ever have the honor of knowing. One year ago I had no idea the journey that lay ahead of me. One year ago my biggest concern was how chubby my face was and if this little boy would look like Ethan or Ella. One year ago I anticipated the arrival of our third precious little baby, whom I always knew would have an impact on my life but I never could have known the person he would be, and the person he would help me to become. Cannon is still teaching me, molding me, refining me. As much as I hate to see my baby suffer, and I complain about sleepless nights, feeding tubes, constant congestion, missed milestones and so on, I am deeply thankful that nearly one year ago I was blessed more than I will ever know, with this perfect spirit to be my son.
