7

It seems like this day gets harder and more emotional for me as the years go by.  7 years ago I was spending the weekend in the hospital delivering Gabe.  I am so grateful for my amazing doctor that validated my concerns that weekend and who lovingly insisted that I take the emotionally harder way, knowing it would be better for me.  Thankful for the quietness of Southern Hills hospital, where I could deliver in peace without being surrounded by new mothers and their newborns.  I am thankful for my mom, who dropped everything that weekend to sit at the hospital with me and help me get through this.  I am so glad that I have good friends I can lean on, both then and now.  I am SO grateful that I was able to have Gabe, and for all the lessons that his birth and death have taught me and continue to teach me.

I've been thinking about him for days, wondering what he would be like as a 7 year old today. What an amazing blessing and trial he offered us! I'm so proud of you for all you have done and become because of it.
