Day 17

Today is all about small and simple blessings. 

After a long night in the hospital with my baby, we got to come home, which was a huge blessing. 

Many prayers were answered by him being able to come home. 

There is this amazing thing that happens, when you snuggle a baby close to you.  A piece of you is healed.  When you hold a baby close, and breath them in, there is a peace that comes.  My faith in everything is healed.

I have had many of those moments today, moments where I held my baby close, dreamed about what his life would be, about who he would be, and about what I needed to do for him, to help him be the man he needs to be. 

And because he is so sick, my heart and mind are in constant prayer for him.  As anyone who knows who has been in constant prayer for someone that they care for with their whole heart, it's a really special spiritual experience.  It is the one thing that helps me not feel like I am failing him.
