Landon's 2nd Birthday

Yesterday was Landon's second birthday. It is interesting how our lives change when we are faced with situations beyond our control. Last year I decided that I would always take his birthday off work and enjoy myself. Last year I went and got a pedicure and wrote in his journal. It was a wonderful day. This year, Amelia and I went shopping and then went to Rob's work to spend time with him. It too was a wonderful day. It is hard for me to imagine that it has only been two years. Some days it feels like a lifetime ago and other days it seems as though it were just yesterday. My heart still aches for him but I do have this beautiful little girl who helps to heal my pain. I know that he is mine and I will be reunited with him again where I will get to raise him. I look forward to that day with great anticipation. To all my friends who remembered me, I say Thank You. Sometimes the hardest time is when no one remembers with you and you face your pain alone. I have been bouyed up by you all and appreciate it. I got in to work today and turned my quote calendar for today, but for some reason I stopped it on yesterday's date and I find that it fits nicely. It says, "As you know, we consider blessed those who have perservered. You have heard of Job's perserverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy." Isn't that wonderful? That is how I feel. I miss my angel, but the Lord has had compassion and mercy on me and gave me my miracle. I am blessed.
