I am blessed

I have just been thinking today and just wanted to say that I am so truly blessed. I have a wonderful loving husband, two beautiful and smart kids, a roof over my head, food in the pantry and a car in the driveway. I am sure there is more that I could want, but what more do I need?
Dalton turned 3 on Sat., and that has made me think back to the day he was born. We almost lost him after he was born. I don't think I have ever been so scared in my life as I was during those first few days. There was a baby in the NICU with Dalton that didn't make it, and I can remember that while my heart was breaking for that family, I was thanking God that it wasn't him.
It was 3 yrs ago today that we knew Dalton was gonna be okay. He came off the ventilator and was eating on his own and breathing on his own. There was never a better sound than to hear him scream at that moment. It was just a couple days later that I finally got to hold him for the first time. There are no words to describe the joy I felt at that moment. It was as if something was missing till I got to hold him in my arms.
He is truly our little miracle. And now that little miracle is 3 yrs old and I have to get him ready for school. :-)
