Our Sweet Boy
Let him sleep for when he wakes he will move mountains….On April 16th our sweet little boy entered the world. Brooksy defied the odds since day one! He was given a 20% chance of survival after birth, then a 5% of survival due to his medical complications to make it to a month old. Brooks was no stranger at proving people wrong. He did just that and gave us a great nine months together! In that short nine months we were blessed with three of those being at home as a family of four! Those were the best three months any mommy could ask for to have both of her babies together interacting and watching sweet big sister care for her baby brother. The journey our sweet boy took was bumpy, but an extremely blessed one. It was so amazing to see one amazing little boy bring so many people together as one and forget all the negative things going on around us. Our sweet baby boy touched so many lives in his short time here, and brought so many great people into ours. We will forever be grateful for the life long friendships we built through our journey. God knew Brooks was the perfect little boy to teach so many people so much and Brooks completed his mission to the fullest.
I was blessed to be able to spend as much time as I did with our sweet boy. I never imagined that someone so small could teach me so much. Brooks taught me to live each day in the moment don’t look to the next, but enjoy where you are at, don’t stress about the things that cannot be changed or altered for those are out of our control, look for the positive in each situation though at the time it may be difficult, but know there is always something we can learn from those situations, flash a smile to everyone you meet it might change their life, he was great at relaying to me each moment of anger or sadness is a moment of happiness you will never get back so live happy, and love unconditionally because above everything else the true love shown for someone is something that will be felt forever. The time we had with Brooks will never be long enough. People tell me how lucky Brooks was to have me as his mommy, but the truth to this is that I am the lucky one because this sweet little boy not only changed my life, but saved me in a way I will never be able to repay him for.
On January 21, 2019 our strong little Superman gained is forever cape. We miss him ever day and wish he could be here with us. We talk about him each day with big sis and remember the amazing time we had with him. We know he can now be a little boy in heaven and we know he is doing great by all the amazing signs God has given up to let us know he is being taken care of. He will forever be our sweet little Brookys!
