So I know this is a little late but on the 12th of Sept, my oldest son turned 17, and to add to my empty nest he also started his senior year of high school. When you decide to have kids you always wonder what its going to be like having a baby in the house, are they going to have colic and keep you up all night, are they going to be happy and sleep all night at a young age are they going to be in between. You never really stop to think what are they going to be when they grow up until you realize that yes, they are growing up and will be gone someday out on their own. When Nash was born we were at a point when we werent sure if we were going to have any children as a medical procedure the year before had damaged my cervix and we lost a baby girl at 24 weeks of the pregnancy. When they told me I was pregnant with Nash I immediately went back to the day when we buried our little girl and wondered if I couldnt keep her long enough to get to term how would I keep this one??? Well then they told me about a procedure where they, in laymans terms, sew you shut until about 37 weeks then take out the stitch and things go as planned. I was relieved to know they could do this and at 13 weeks went and had it done. 37 weeks came quick and they took the stich out. Needless to day Sept, 12, 1997 at 6:42pm, we had Nash Wyatt Storrs. I remember bringing him home thanking God everyday for him and hoping that not having a baby in my house for 10 years that I would be alright, I was 20 when Shandar was born and 30 when Nash came along. I remember going through the, Hey when is he going to crawl, walk, talk??? I also remember the, Hey when is he going to sit down and shut up...lol I have 3 beautiful children which I wouldnt give up for anything and with Shandar already out on her own married and a Mom herself, which made me a grandmother at 40 by the way...lol, Nash is next on the list. I dont have a favorite, some people do, some dont, but I will say that all of my children are definitely a few degrees apart when it comes to personality. Shandar is my only daughter, anyone with a teenage daughter or anyone who raised one knows how that goes...lol. Nash is my keep to himself, not sure if hes around but on the other hand the feisty one that will fight with me as long as he thinks he can win and even when he cant he will give it the old college try...lol. Hutch is my, Hey mom can you come help me, Mom come look at this, Mom can you do this for me?...child. He will disagree with me as well but gives up much easier than my other 2 ever did. I love them all more than life itself and would give my life to safe any or all of them if it came down to it. I wasnt able to get Nash what he wanted for his birthday so instead we took him...wait for it...wait for it...to a Nascar Truck Race at Las Vegas Speedway. He and Hutch got to high five the drivers as they came down the grandstands during driver introductions and to see them when the race started, well I cant even describe how it felt to see my boys that happy. They both said they can now check a Nascar race, even if it was the trucks, off their bucket list. Nash says he is going to hang around for at least a year after he graduates but I bet come Sept. 12th next year, his 18th birthday, he packs up and heads to his dads in Wyoming. It will be ok though, I want to go have some quality time with Scott and if he decides to go to WyoTech like he wants to, I will pray God watches over him and keeps him safe. Ok, this is the longest post I have ever put on here but I hope some of you can relate. God gave me 3 children, each of them a blessing and a miracle...I love you all Shandar Hepper Loney, Nash Storrs, Hutch Storrs, I love you more than you will ever know and will try and be here as long as I can and help you in any way I can.
