I cannot believe it has already been two years. The second one didn’t go by any slower than the first year.

Braden was born on this date two years ago. We have both changed in so very many ways since that day when he made his appearance, busted his own umbilical chord, and then played around with the idea of maybe not breathing.

Every day since then has been just as complicated and difficult.

In the most wonderful way!

I can honestly say that my son has made me a better person and taught me how to love without bounds in the midst of amazing frustration like I never thought I could.

And I’m so thankful for that, it brings me to tears.

If there be no tomorrows,
and no more yesterdays…
I’d still be glad
for all I’ve had
because you’re here today.
