Alex's life!!!

I wanted to put together a slide show for Alex's baptism just as a way to honor him. As I was looking through 8 years of pictures my heart was filled with such gratitude to have had 8 years so far and I know a lot more to come. I remember sitting with him on one of our many overnight trips to the hospital with such fear in my heart. I would pray so hard for a chance to see him be baptized, to receive the priesthood, to serve a mission and to marry in the temple. Well my prayer was answered and Alex is now 8.
As I pieced this together and then put it to his song I was in tears. My baby has grown up. He has defied all the medical odds he had put in front of him. He is a miracle, he is my miracle. I will forever be indebted to my Father in Heaven for allowing me the opportunity to be Alex's mom.
