It is hard to believe that our little Dylan turned 5 years old today! The past 5 years have gone by in the blink of an eye. At times I just want to go back and see little glimpses of time to cherish those moments even more! Dylan came into this world surprising the heck out of us and each new day with him he does or says something that makes us smile and the love fills our hearts more and more. When we already thought we loved as much as we could we continue to love even more. The love for our children is unconditional and there is no limit on the amount of love we have for them.
5 yrs ago today, in the hallway of a local hospital on the way to the OR, I delivered a little boy who weighed just 1 pound 5 ounces. It was one of the scariest and happiest days of our life. Our little boy has defied the odds and fought one hell of a battle. Every day we are reminded what a gift he is and he continues to show us every second of every day how strong he truly is.
We sat on the couch tonight, a child on each leg of mine and we read book after book when all of a sudden Dylan said he wanted to watch his video and Grammy's video, the ones I made. We watched each of them 4 times, no joke, and as the tears streamed down my face he looked at me and said, 'its ok mommy, i'm grown up now.' Its almost like he knew why I was crying, seeing in the video all he has gone thru in just a few minutes of a video clip brings back so many memories and makes me count our blessings that he is with us today. Then their was a St. Lukes special on about their NICU and we had that on in the background. It feels like just yesterday we were there, a distant memory but the memories are still fresh in our minds.
We are so blessed Dylan to have you as our son and you remind us how truly great God is! You are our Miracle! Happy 5th Birthday buddy! We ♥ you SO much!
