Jivenson's 2nd Birthday

Today, October 26 would have been Jivenson's 2nd birthday. It is hard to believe that he has been gone for almost 5 months! We still think of him a lot. Walking through the little boy section in Target one day, Wesli looked around and said that she wishes we could get some of those cute outfits for him...and that's all I'm ever thinking about in the boys section of any store.
But it's amazing how time can heal, at least take away that deep sting.
Because Jivenson was delayed we were always very excited to hear about the milestones he would reach, no matter how small...like when he used a sippy cup for the first time or started scooting around or when he started eating "big boy" food. So I would think about all the things he'd be doing when he turned 2..maybe starting to walk or talk.
So, we're still here and God is still God and we move through every day and take them as they come. I still wonder what God has in store, what He might be up to in the places we can't see yet.

Today our little man is on my mind and heart just a little heavier.

Jivenson we love you so much! Happy Birthday!
Love, Mommy, Daddy, Wesli and Melat
