9 months

Nine whole months ago today my beautiful baby Ryan was born. I have been thinking about him a lot lately, missing him very much. This morning Jonathon climbed in my bed while Jake was teaching seminary and I watched him sleep beside me. It was the most beautiful sight. I could see so much of Ryan in him as I studied his beautiful face and tears came to my eyes from all the similarities I found. Wishing so bad I could have two boys sleeping next to me. They would have looked like twins growing up, only two years apart. I am so grateful for nine months ago, to have my second beautiful son born a part of our eternal family, though his birth was so early and so frightening. He was born alive and will forever be ours. Ryan's birth changed our lives forever and his courage and strength has touched so many lives. He is in my heart this day, and everyday.
