A Year Ago

A year ago Nick and I welcomed Jack Allen into our lives. He came into this world as a fighter. A year ago we were sitting in the NICU waiting for our son to get well enough to come home. A year ago we learned that (our) families get closer when a crises hits. A year ago we learned what "love at first sight" was. So much has happened in a year. Our little man came home to a tiny apartment filled with lots of love. Jack has grown into a toddler who is ready to explore the world. We take for granted how precious life is. We get caught up in the daily grind and always wanting more. A year ago changed our lives in more ways that I can even describe. Jack made our lives whole and continues to show us on a daily basis what really matters. When thank the higher powers who gave us Jack... and look forward to the many wonderful years we have ahead of us. Thank you to those of you who were there a year ago for us. There are way to many people to name who helped us get through one of the most stressful yet wonderful times in our lives.
