And there's no doubt about that! I looked at the date of my last posting here, and came to the harsh realization that it has been nearly a month! Tomorrow is Mother's Day, and as I sit here tonight in the peace and quiet (the kids are in bed...ahhhh) I reflect for a moment. Last year on Mother's Day, my family and I were in Chicago with Treyton, awaiting the day when he would finally, finally get his life-saving surgery. My daughter was in pre-school, but stayed home that day so she would not have to see the other girls and their mothers at the "Tea Party." My heart was breaking, for many reasons. And as I try to think of what to say next I almost find myself speechless.

I never would have imagined that this past year would be so great and peaceful. Mother's Day this year has a completely different attitude. I am joyful, thankful, and grateful to the most important source of my blessings, my Lord and Savior. He gives and takes away, and I am so humbled that He found Treyton's life as one that should stay here on earth as true testimnoy to His love, mercy and grace. Treyton continues to amaze people and touch everyone he meets with his charm, charizma, and foot long eyelashes. To random people everyday that we see on errands and such, they would never know what the start of his life was like. And that in it's self is Amazing.

Believe me, I am so proud to be his mom, that it takes everything in me NOT to share his story with these everyday passers-by so that they can know the miracle they just met. So my prayer to those who continue to read this blog, even when it is so silent here, is that you have the best Mother's Day whether you are honoring your own mother, or you are the honoree. A mother is the back bone of many lives, and the greatest influence on her family.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
In honor of my own mother...I try not to forget.
