Taking my breath away


I still remember the first time Gavin held Ryan's wedding ring in the palm of his hand as he lay in his isolet so peaceful and so innocent but still fighting for life. We stood there by his bedside in silence just thanking the Lord that Gavin had made it this far and asked to make him strong with each passing day.



After Ryan helped with cares (changing diaper, getting his temp and tucking him in) Gavin held on to his daddy's pinkie as if he was telling him that everything was going to be ok. Now Gavin holds on to Ryan's finger as he drifts away to sleep after a long day of playing with mommy.

As I sit here in my office with not a noise in the background, my eyes fill with tears of peace, joy, happiness with the wonder of what tomorrow will bring.

I am so amazed at how much he has grown. I can't wait to see him at Christmas time when he will be running around the house. He is the cutest nephew EVER!!!!!!
I love you all so much..
