A birthday photo

Landon Turns 5!

Yesterday Landon turned 5! Where has the last 5 years gone? Time really does fly. 
We made a trip to our second home, Childrens in Philly. This place is amazing and carries so many memories for us! Some good, some not so good. As we were walking down the hall I noticed a little boy about 9 months(I'm guessing) with a NG tube and tears in his eyes. My eyes immediately filled and I held back hysterical crying. My heart shattered for him and his family. We have been there, what seems to be the bottom.  It makes me appreciate so much. A wonderful hospital full of doctors who never gave up hope...hope for Landon's future. Therapists that have been there when Landon needed them, or when I did. I think back to that little boy starting this unbearable journey and pray his family never loses hope. Without hope Landon wouldn't be where he is today. 
So Happy Happy Birthday to the boy who stole my heart. I wish you another year of smiles, leaps and bounds. I am the luckiest mommy in the world!
