Dear Mom

Simon is so big now. He has been in Speech Therapy for a year and is going to start pre-school in a few months! I always have a hard time around his birthday since you passed away two days after he was born. I wish you could have spoiled him the way you wanted to. I kept the things you gave me when I had kids. Now I have two! You never got to know about Maggie and that breaks my heart. She's beautiful. She just started crawling at six months and now she's almost nine months. Time flies when I think of them, but it stands still when I think of you. You were so beautiful when they wheeled you in, in your chair to visit me and see Simon in the NICU. I knew you prayed so hard for him, because he lived. He lived mom. I wish you had too. Yesterday we celebrated Josh's birthday and all the kids were together and we didn't fight once! You would have been so proud. I love you mama! Keep prayin for us!
