I have so many thoughts and feelings running through me today as I reflect on the past eight years of Levi's life. Eight years! Do you have any idea how huge this is? Over the past eight years of Levi's life we've not known if he would even make it this far. They've been eight years of worry, hardship, heart wrenching moments, fatigue like I never knew was possible, and yet.......when I look back on Levi's life that isn't what I remember or even want to remember.
I am just grateful for the miracle and blessing that is Levi. For having him in our lives. The laughter and joy that he radiates, the pleasure that Levi finds in the simplest of things, the example that he is to me to be like a little child and live life to the fullest.
Today, on Levi's birthday may I say to you, "Hey Fungus! I'm gonna throw a meatball at your head"! (As I double over giggling and laughing because tickling the tummy comes next..............)
So glad that you have been able to enjoy him for eight years! Here is to many more tummy tickles and many more birthdays with him!

Auntie Ginnia, Levi says, "I love you too"!
Hey Levi? Where's Zion? You know what you are? A big fat corn dog. And a miracle. Who could have guessed any of this? You, my love, have done so well.
ReplyDeleteKristen, HA! "No YOU'RE a corn dog! Randle, where's Zion?" :)
ReplyDeleteLast night when I tucked Levi in bed he blew me a kiss and said, "You a goober fungus"! And then he giggled and pulled the covers over his head. What a twerp! It made me giggle.
Jody, He wore his shirt yesterday for his birthday. Pretty cute.
