So today has been a little rough but, a blessing. I never thought in a million years that I would be proud that my marriage is holding on after having a critically ill child and one who is in heaven. But, I am. Aaron is a great man, that I am honored and proud to have by my side. (It also doesn't hurt that he is cute).
I received a card today from one of my clients and it has touched my heart. First, she addressed it to Sterling also (We love that). Then this is how their card reads:
We wish you a most blessed Christmas and a happy and wonderful New Year!
How blessed we are having you in our lives!
We keep you all in special placed in our hearts.
Serenity, because of your beauty inside and out, your mommy and daddy are falling in love with you everyday. I can see it!
Sterling, we bet your angel wings are growing bigger and bigger each day!
Love, David, Chong & Max
Earlier in the day Serenity was talking again and writing a letter to baby brother. She says "baby brother, we all really wanted you here with us. We miss you so much and we wish you were here. But, I can't come see you now because my heart is still beeping (yes, it is beeping instead of beating - too cute). We will come see you soon. Love, Serenity." Her card reads in her beautiful handwriting "I miss my baby brother" after her insisting I help her spell this all. She put the card on blue paper because "Sterling loves blue." Put a picture on one side and sealed it up with Princess stickers. Now, as I know the grandparents are crying and getting ready to call me any second......This hurts BUT, I love when these stories comes out of no where. She is so innocent and sweet. It blesses my heart to know that she still thinks of him and takes the time to tell me stories. These are priceless!
Had I of known how our journey would go, I would still choose the same path. Sterling will always be our blessing!
