Just pray that he is healthy.........

When I was pregnant, this was something that everyone would say to me. I never really "thought" about it that much. Not that I DIDN'T want him to be healthy, just that, well, I guess I always took for granted that he would be. Thoughts of him having any type of health problems never really crossed my mind. (He's ok, don't think something is wrong)

Had I known what I know now, I probably would have a very different mindset. What I mean by that is I have been reading quite a bit lately (thru different blogs) of children with very serious health issues. These parents, like myself, never expected anything to be wrong with their child. Well some may have known (prior to them being born) but never expected the whirlwind their lives were about to spin into.

Reading everyone's stories has made me realize just how meaningful the words "Just pray that he is healthy" really mean. I can only imagine what some of these parents would do just to have what I have.......a normal, healthy child. I no longer take it for granted and should I ever have another child, these words will ring in my thoughts each and every day.

I think about these families sooooooooo much and what they are or have gone thru and my heart goes out to them. I check their blogs daily to "see how they are doing". I say a prayer for all of them every week in church.

I thank God everyday for giving me a healthy child and not a day goes by that I don't hug him, squeeze him, kiss him and tell him how much I love him. When he gets alittle older I can just hear him now......."I know I know Mom, you love me!" Not a day will go by that that child will ever doubt that he is loved. He is and always will be my baby!
