Long good day
Posted at approximately midnight Friday, July 3rd.
I wish sometimes, that I didn’t need sleep because there is so much I want to tell you about. But, as always, I’m tired so I will make this brief. Sean had a great day. Kyle was here and Sean is always at his best when Kyle is at his side. He worked hard in his therapies. At one point today he had three visitors at one time. Kyle, Rusty, Greg and Sean went out on the back patio and played left handed disc golf. Sean kicked butt and even scored a few hole in one’s! Kiersten brought Sean dinner and they had a nice visit. Last night he told me that Kiersten was his favorite visitor. It is so wonderful to know that our children are best friends.
I visited early in the day and brought lunch for the gang and then I took the day off to catch up. I came back at 7 and Sean and I watched a movie together. Sean and I are movie buffs and I haven’t been watching movies without him. It was so nice to watch a good movie with him and discuss the cinematography. He has such a good eye and appreciation for all things visual. Towards the end of the evening I took him into the bathroom to brush his teeth and when I was watching him I was struck with the reality of how close we came to losing him and it was all I could do to hold it together. I don’t know if I have shared this before but I lost two babies before I had Sean. Tiffany lived for 3 days and Jeremy lived for 6 hours. Sean was such an amazing gift from God. I honestly don’t think that I had the strength to bury another child. That struck me tonight and again I was reminded of God’s awesome love. He knows my heart and He saved our son. I don’t know why God chose to work this miracle on Sean and I hope that I am not egotistical enough to think it was about me. I think it was about Sean. But God saved me in saving Sean. I am awestruck and overwhelmed at the depth of God’s love.
Time for mimi.
I know that I say thank you a lot for your support and prayers, but I can never properly thank you enough because there are days like today when your messages are want carry me through. And to all of you that don’t write, I can see on my end who is following and all of you, as well, carry us.
Love,
Terri, Vince, Sean, Kiersten, and Kyle
