As I sit here and write this post, our son Will is rolling back and forth all over the floor. I'm so thankful that he can do that all by himself because back in January we never thought that would have happened. I'm so thankful for our precious 1lb 1oz baby Will who was born on January 19, 2012 to the 16lb baby boy he is currently today. He is full of laughter, smiles, hugs, kisses, and all the other things babies are. He is a special blessing from God. We are also thankful for his twin brother, Drew, who was born at 1lb 8oz but shortly died on January 20, 2012. We are thankful for him and the few short hours we got to spend with him. We are thankful for the salvation and assurance we have in knowing that ONE DAY we will meet him in Heaven.
We are so thankful for the NICU doctors and nurses who took such good care of Will during his 133 day stay. We never could have imagined how many new friends we would make over this journey. God put us through this journey for a reason and we will never know why. We are so thankful for each and every doctor and nurse in the NICU who took the time to love on, care for, sing to, talk to, and simply be there for not only Will but for us too. We will always be thankful for them! They will always hold a special place in our hearts.
We are thankful for our family who was there for us when the boys were born in January. We could have not done this without the love and support you gave us. We are also thankful for you as well for babysitting and taking care of Will when we needed someone to stay with him.
So as we pause and count our blessings on this Thanksgiving day, we thank God for all the things he has done for us this year. So from our family to yours, HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
