Yet Another Year Gone By {John Carter 3rd Birthday}

 I know you were expecting a post about my appointment yesterday, but, the day got busy, and I was distracted.. How about tomorrow for that update?? 

Today we spend remembering and celebrating our precious John Carter and his 3rd birthday.  Time has moved at an alarming rate, and yet seems so slow at the same time.  I suppose that is the norm when a person is grieving, but it is also very surprising at the same time. 

A lot has happened in these past 3 years.  Like, a really lot!  It's kinda unreal. 

We live, learn and grow.  We wish we could change the past, but we look toward the future with renewed hope.  It doesn't change that we miss Johnny.  We still ache for him, and will always feel an empty spot in our hearts for him. 

Today though, was a celebration 3 years ago, so we chose to celebrate his birthday, every year as a day of excitement and happiness as we held him in our arms for the first time after many long years of prayer for a little baby boy.  We love him and miss him, and carry him with us.  We know one day, we will all be reunited together, but until that day, we remember how special he is to us still. 

Here is a picture of him the night we brought him home from the hospital.
