Two years ago I never could have imagined my life now. I laid in the hospital in Harrison, Arkansas 730 days, 6 hours, and 2 minutes ago...during that last stretch. Right before Gunner came. I pictured a perfect life with my new family. But when I finally held him... That tiny, perfect little human that we had created. The past didnt matter, the future didnt matter. As long as I could protect this little boy. I wanted to care for him and teach him. Everything else dissolved. Gunner Todd Remington, you inspire every emotion in me from frustration, to anger and sadness... to indescribable depths of joy and pride. Everyday tasks become an adventure with you. Washing dishes becomes suds fights, soaked chairs and floor, and tons of giggles. Lunch becomes tiny toddler hands in unsuspecting jelly jars. Trips to the laundry mat become cashing in another dollar for quarters, because somebody got one too many bouncy balls from the quarter machine. He turned my life upside down. And even though that perfect life I had imagined proved to be less than meant to be, we have a life thats perfect for us. Happy birthday, Son! I love you! Happy 23rd to Gunners Daddy, too! And to our family in Arkansas, I know Gunner is looking forward to seeing everybody next weekend! John and I will miss him like crazy, but Ive come to terms with having to share my baby boy. Hes growing fast though.. Love you all. Dont let him grow up too much while hes gone.
