Happy Birthday Hubby....




My wonderful husband turns 29 today!! almost to the dreaded 30 ;) I can imagine that he will never forget the age 28..had a beautiful baby girl and felt such joy and then fought a brave battle with her and eventually lost her.. he and I will never forget being 28..being forced to accept things we should never have to face, and having a very harsh and cold reality.. and the whole time, always putting his family first.. working so hard only to come home and not relax, but take care of his emotionally distraught wife.. taking care of his sick daughter, making time for C, and not a complaint the whole time.. This year has brought us closer as a family.. it has put things in focus.. I am lucky to have such a wonderful husband..He picks me up when I am down and calms me down in my crazed moments... We have had many difficulties through the past years, but I am so thankful they worked out.. I could not have imagined going through any of this with out him, or with anyone else but him.. he has been my and Caydens rock.. 28 has been the best and the worst year all together... I love you babe and am so thankful for you and your patience and love... and most importantly your love for God.. you have shown us what faith truly is.. we are so grateful..





I loved you when we were young....

and I'll love you when we are old.. :)
