3 Years Ago Today I saw this lil face for the very first time!
And from that moment on my life was changed
I loved more than I'd ever loved before
I saw the world in a total different light
I was a mommy for the very first time
He was mine, sent from God
To take care of and love while he was here on earth
But on this day
August 18,2006
The farthest thing from my mind was how long he would actually be here on earth with me.
I never thought that I'd out live him
The only thing I can remember was that I was so excited to finally see his lil face (he was beautiful) and starting our lives together.
Our new lives at that!
Things would no longer be the way they were. I'd make sure of that.
I would love him like no one else ever could
I would teach him everything I could
It was no longer about me
Cuddly, Soft, Happy, & Silly...Very Silly.
Gavin & I had such a special bond.
Yes he was my first born
But he was also my very best friend.
He pulled me through every single day.
Smart amazing lil man of mine.
A short 21 months later he left for heaven
And again my world would never be the same.
This lil boy has changed my life a million times over in his short life.
And there's no one I miss more than him.
He brought so much sunshine into everyone's life
And still does to this day.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GAVIN!!
I still learn something new from you every single day.
I miss you and love you more day to day.
Your mommy I'll always be.
And I thank God for that!
I LOVE YOU!!

(Thanks to Brian Thomas for sharing the below poem with me today)
You're in a better place, I've heard a thousand times
And at least a thousand times I've rejoiced for you
But the reason why I'm broken,
the reason why I cry is how long must I wait to be with you...
I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now
Help me Lord cause I don't understand your ways
The reason why I wonder if I'll ever know
But, even if you showed me, the hurt would be the same
Cause I'm still here so far away from home

Sorry I didn't see this post sooner but you expressed your feelings beautifully and it is special to see pictures of your precious Gavin. What a hard trial to have to pass through in life but you will continue to learn and be strengthened by your experience and will be able to help others through their trials.
