Thankful

Of all the things in my life to be thankful for (And there are many) the biggest is this:

This happy, healthy, boy with milk dripping off his chin, is the best thing to ever happen to me. God has blessed me with him. His smile, his eyes, his huge personality. I've only known him for 18 months and I can't remember a time without him, and I don't really want to. I didn't even know I needed him but God did. I'm so thankful everyday that He brought Levi to me. I think about people I know who have lost children. I don't know how you would ever recover from it. I try to remember what a blessing he is when I'm frustrated with him. When I'm mad I think, but what would I do with out him. Everybody, hug your kids tight and remember their gifts not responsibilities.

Thanks for reading.
