Goodbye Sweet Kayleigh

As I was checking out all of my favorite blogs this morning, I found the news that dear little Kayleigh Anne Freeman passed away peacefully yesterday. She has been such an amazing fighter her entire short life, and has really put a lot of things in perspective for me. Born at just 1 pound 1 oz in June 2008, Kayleigh has really been an inspiration. She's finally at home and in peace now. Goodbye sweet Kayleigh, I'll miss seeing your cute little face in your pictures.

God Bless the Freeman's.

To My Son

To my dear son Logan,
In a little over 24 hours, I will be celebrating my very first Mother's Day. I just wanted to say how much I love you and how grateful I am that I have been given the gift of motherhood. Every day, I look at you and think to myself, where has the time gone? From the first moment I laid eyes on you, I loved you with my whole heart. Just seeing your smile or hearing your laugh is enough to get me teary eyed.
Tonight, Daddy went to the store, and you and I just cuddled on the couch. I love those moments. You, listening to my heart beat, just like you did nearly 10 months ago, me, sniffing your hair and holding your hand. That was the best.
I feel like you are growing so fast. I have to remind myself everyday to stop and take in the small moments. Of course the big things are important too, but it will be the small everyday moments I will wish I would have remembered later. What made you laugh? How did that sweet little baby laugh sound? Those are things I don't want to forget.
I love you so much, Logan. I hope that one day you know that I do everything for you that I can. I hope you don't regret that I've had to miss so many important moments by being at school, or work. I do those things for you too.

Thank you for making me the happiest Mommy (or Mema) in the world. I love you,
Mommy
