EIGHT?
Gosh, that makes me.....36.
When did that happen!?!?
Today is a really wonderful day. I woke up to Cole coming into my room at 5:00am (this is my sleepy kid -- NEVER an early riser, either.) We got to lay there and cuddle. I sang him "Happy Birthday" and got tears in my eyes as I told him the story about his first breaths of life in "my world."
Eight years ago today.
It was a terrifying day, really. My pregnancy was riddled with problems. He had a problem with his heart -- they told me had chromosome abnormalities. We had NO IDEA what we were facing when his beautiful face and sweet cry blessed our lives. I will never forget the partnership that had formed with Mr. Sunshine and I, either. The bond of a child is never ending (even when you wish it could be.) But it is what it is...and my beautiful Cole Daniel is EIGHT years old today.
The boys went to school for only half a day -- teacher conferences were today. Mr. Sunshine took Cole out to sushi right after school (his favorite). Dane and I ran out and did some shopping. When he got home, he hugged me long and hard. I waved to Joel and said, "can you believe it's been eight years?" I forget sometimes that Mr. Sunshine's sun has faded and he's gone mute. OH WELL, I shut the door, kissed his stinky sushi filled-boy cheeks and Dane and Cole ran out to jump on the trampoline.
Soon after, they stripped to their boxers...(it's March 10th -- in AZ -- almost 90 degrees) and I pulled out the hose and football. Fun for hours!! (and cheap!)
Tonight we are going to Peter Piper Pizza with the family.
Tomorrow, he is having friends from school spend the night.
For the rest of my days, I will love every morsel on that child's body -- come what may....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BOBO!
