Today is Dakotas birthday

he s 8yo. His birthdays are always a bit hard on me.  Most times I am able to accept that as hard as life is with him I know that God makes no mistakes & he is this way for a reason. His birthdays are when I struggle though. Looking back & remembering the perfect baby I gave birth to. The first year of his life, & then the regression tears-sad. Its hard to mark the passing of another year when he is still struggling with things other dc would have mastered 3 years ago. I just want to stop time & give him a chance to catch up.  tears-sad

We will have cake, we will do presents & then I will probably go take a bath & cry for a bit. Life moves on & its not going to stop just for him. I will rejoice in who he is rather than who I thought he would be. I will hold him tight & be thankful he is my child. I will look to the future & not become bogged down in the "could have beens". I cant imagine life without him. He is a true blessing to us. heart
