I have a lot to be thankful for. I really do. I have experienced heartache beyond belief, but I have also experienced love and miracles beyond belief. Lucas is one of those miracles.
Lately I have been having a lot of flashbacks to the day he went to be with Jesus.
Last night, while Tom was carrying a sleeping Miller to his crib, I leaned over and kissed Miller's forehead. I was instantly flooded with memories. One of the last things I did before Lucas passed away was hold him close and kiss his forehead.
I'm thankful I got to do that. I'm thankful that we were holding Lucas and kissing him and telling him we love him. I'm thankful and honored that God let me hold Lucas when he went from my arms to Jesus's arms. I'm thankful that God chose me to be Lucas's mother. Out of all the people in the world, He chose me to be this amazing and beautiful boy's mother.
I'm thankful for the 76 precious days I got to spend with Lucas. I wanted more. I begged God for more, but I'm thankful that I got 76 when I was told I wouldn't have any.
Something else I'm so so thankful for?
I'm thankful that because I know Jesus, I get to spend eternity with Him and with Lucas. I will see my baby boy again. Some days that hope is the only thing that gets me through the day.
Thankful for the hope we have in Jesus.
