I believe I am blessed

I believe I am blessed. I have a lot to be thankful for. I have so much going on in my life, and I am busy. But I am blessed. I have a wonderful family. My boys are my world. I do not know how I would live without them.  They are truly amazing. My youngest son, despite the diseases/disorders he has is AMAZING. His courage is truly wonderful.  Everybody that sees him is immediately drawn to him. His smile is contagious and his laugh is hysterical. My oldest son is so handsome. He is unrealistically smart. At 3 he was writing his name and knew how to spell, colors, numbers, etc. And he is funny too. Sometimes we are a little hard on him and expect him to be more mature than a 5 year old should be. When he does something that a normal 5 year old would do, like skips the bottom 2 stairs and just jumps, he gets in trouble. He doesn’t get in trouble because it’s that big of a deal. But he has a little brother that watches and does absolutely everything he does. So when Oliver jumps and misses a few stairs, his 2 year old brother does the same thing and could get hurt. He is still so happy he has zeal about life. That I don’t see in people not even in kids. He loves God so much. When he is afraid of the dark or anything I hear him say “Jesus you are with me and I am not afraid”. He is a bold little kid and I pray I can raise him up to be a wonderful man! And my favorite of the 3 men, my husband. I don’t even know where to start to say how blessed I am by him. I know one day my boys will grow up, move out and get married and have their own life. But this man I am married to, we will be together until we die. He is by far absolutely AMAZING. He is selfless and puts everyone ahead of himself. He takes my breath away! I love him more than words will ever say. He makes me laugh and holds me when I cry. We have been on the brink of the end a few times, but we have somehow despite everything managed to hang on. We have been through moving, infidelity, job loss, death of parents, and many more struggles and even when we want to throw in the towel and say I’ve had enough, we don’t. We cling tighter to each other and to God and that is what has gotten us to where we are at today. I am incredibly blessed and these 3 guys in my life remind me of that every day. I am thankful and blessed that even though my life consists of burping at the dinner table and mud and bugs, that the smiles on their faces tell me, they know they are loved. I will love all 3 of these guys until the day I take my last breath. I am blessed.
