Happy Thanksgiving

Today I am thankful for my family. Not just relatives, but our friends that have become our family over this journey with our Charleston. Life long friends, new friends, and our SMA family that help us get through our day to day life.

I am thankful that doctors can be idiots sometimes!!!! Because that way, we get to prove them wrong....by having my Charleston at another Thanksgiving dinner.

I'm thankful that he has the power to get a 200 pound man to dress up in public as Buzz Lightyear.

Today we will celebrate, like everyone else in our country. But our celebration is a little bit different. Instead of taking our turkey dinner for granted........we are grateful for a little 23 3/4 month little 19 pound boy......that is the strongest person I've ever met, and what he is bringing to our lives.

Charleston, you have brought me more love than I've ever received.........I treasure your butterfly kisses............and I treasure what you are teaching my little family. I love how your parents love you and protect you; I love how your Unkie B & Auntie Catie love you; I love that Great Nana is putting up with a 10 day visit so she can get to know you. You are the love of my life, in a way that I never knew I'd feel. I love you, little boy.
