One of the busiest things about having four kids....is they each have their own birthday. My oldest son turned 10 today...I find myself thinking back...10 years ago at this time I was doing this, 10 years ago at this time I was doing this....10years ago I was getting my epidural...and so on. It makes me think of how much has changed in my life.
I am planning my almost 4 year olds birthday party for next month..Aug 22 is his party date. We are trying to plan a huge fundraiser birthday party for him. I am trying to raise money for mastokids, an organization which is dear to my heart. My 4 year old has masto, and may have systemic masto, although I am hoping for the best that he does not. I again, am amazed at how much my life has changed since giving birth to this wonderful child. He has made all of us see life in a different way. We appreciate more. We eat healthier. We plan more carefully. We are blessed to have him. Although, given the chance, I would choose for him to not have masto, it has shown us how lucky we are compared to some. He is alive, growing, learning and thriving every day.
The busy-ness of life sometimes gets in the way of remembering to appreciate things more fully. I think for me, birthdays make me slow down...reflect...appreciate. I'm glad I have four kids...and this is one more reason why...
Have a great day.
