Today my own little son turned one year old. The weather was almost exactly the same as it was last year, even though I didn’t go outside the hospital a year ago I remember looking out over Mishawaka and the big church across the street. It was a beautiful day just like it would be a year later, today. He has brought so much joy into our lives it is almost indescribable! There was a twinge of pain as I just watched him today. He has grown so much and I know the years are going to fly by. I want to cherish every moment with my beautiful little son. Happy Birthday little buddy. I love you with all my heart and I look forward to the years we have together.
