Four years ago, we didn't know what the future held. We didn't know if Jackson would breath or eat on your own. As hard as it is to admit, we honestly didn't know if our baby would live, we were told in utero that there was a possibility that he/she had Trisomy 18. One doctor even told us we'd be lucky if he ever got out of your crib. Boy, were they WRONG! To date, he's not only got out of that crib, but you got every where he wanted and then some. He's rolled, scooted and WALKED every where he wanted!
He has taught me more in 4 years in all I learned in the 26 before him! Jackson taught me patience, I never had before. He taught me to be a better wife, a better mother and a better Christian than I ever could have been without him! And most importantly, Jackson taught me to believe that anything is possible with love and prayers!
In 4 years, I have become a mom, a physical therapist, an occupational therapy, a cheerleader, a DME representative, a teacher, an advocate and so much more than I would've ever been! Jon has become a father, a DME repairman, an inventor and my biggest supporter!
Tomorrow, that beautiful miracle that was born at 8:17 a.m. will say the Pledge of Allegiance over the loud speaker for the entire school, in which he is fully included and will WALK all the halls there wearing a crown and I couldn't be prouder!
As we look back over the past 4 years, I wouldn't change a thing about the life. It's a crazy life, but it's our life! We've learned to dance in the rain and if you think our hands are full, you should see our hearts!
Happy Birthday Baby Boy----We LOVE you! Keep flying my beautiful bumblebee!
Love,
Mommy and Daddy!
