16 Years

Who would have thought that the worst pain I have ever experienced could have brought me one of the greatest joys of my life?

That is exactly what happened 16 years ago.

23 hours, 1 broken collar bone and 10 lbs 8 oz. is how my motherhood story began.

It was a record-breaking-temperature type of day for January.

But I will always remember it as my first experience with watching my heart exist outside of me.

Happy Birthday, Nathan.
You are a true gift from God.
