Two Years a Family

Last month we celebrated Ethan's 2nd Birthday. It was a wonderful day! Suprisingly, there were no tears. I think that I am able to see his birthday as a happy occassion because I recognize it as the day we became a family. There is so much to celebrate when you begin to understand the concept of eternity and the promise of being a forever family. Ethan coming into our lives has allowed me to truly appreciate the plan our Heavenly Father has for us - it IS a plan of happiness. I know that many angel parents may continue to hurt on anniversaries of birthdays and deaths... I hope that you are able to find at least one moment to appreciate that which Heavenly Father has given us... Eternity.

Thank you for posting this. For me, it was still hard when we celebrated our oldest son's 2nd birthday but we were also mourning two boys and it was a month away from our second son's 1st birthday so I think I mourned them both at that time. It is bittersweet for me. I am so thankful for my little boys. I miss them every day but am so thankful that they don't have to deal with the trials here on earth that we do. They are so lucky!
