The birth of my son…

A birth is such a joyous time on most accounts, but when things turn around and your baby is clinging to life and you are helpless to save them the emotions are like nothing else.

That probably was one of the most scary time of my life. My son wasn’t guaranteed to make it through the night and yet I was stuck in bed recovering from surgery almost 50 miles away. When I finally got to the hospital this is what I saw….

It was a long, hard, emotional journey with him and one that I pray that I am never asked to walk again. But God used it to grow me and my husband and we were both forever changed by these events. But time passes and life moves on and now he is a healthy, thriving, THREE year old.

And here he is today, my little guy, that is not so little any more.

Happy 3rd birthday Josiah!!!
