William’s {my husband} mother passed away 6 years ago today from cancer. We took Wyatt to go see her today for the very first time. Just William, his father, Wyatt, and I spending the day together was really nice. Because as each year passes- I don’t believe it gets any easier for any of us. Especially now that Wyatt is here, and she isn’t.. just makes things a bit harder. There was a flower shop nearby that we stopped at and I picked out a single yellow rose for Wyatt to “give” to her. I know he will never meet her, but it is really important to me that he knows who she was and what made her special.    

After we made our visit we went out to lunch together at Steak n’ Shake. If you’ve never been there, or never heard of it- you’re missing out. They have delicious, well… steaks (burgers) & shakes. Wyatt even wore a paper hat, which made the day a lot better because he was just so stinkin’ cute in it!

And then we went to the mall, shopped around, Wyatt got some new friends from the Disney Store- and we came home. Having days like this makes me really appreciate what and who I have in my life. I have a wonderful husband, great family, and most important a beautiful, healthy baby boy.

I think it’s really important to count your blessings in life- and although Wyatt’s Nana isn’t here, I know shes watching over him keeping him safe and sending her love. Kathy, I wish more than anything in the world that you were here. That I could hug you, tell you how wonderful your family is. I wish you could meet your wonderful grandson, hold him, kiss him, and see that he has your baby blue eyes.
