A Season for Thanks

To say that I have a lot to be thankful for this holiday season would be an understatement. I never would have thought that at 26 I would feel like I had lived two lifetimes, but boy do I ever! Before July 7 I never knew true fear or true love until my baby girl was born. Now, I don't mean I don't love my husband or Gabi, I mean the love that I see between my two little girls. It melts my heart to everytime I see the light in either Gabi or Sophia's eyes when they see the other walk in the room. They are the best of friends and I cannot wait until Sophia is old enough to actually interact with Gabi.

Getting back to being thankful. I am so thankful for my little fighter. She is so strong and she has shown me more courage and fight then I would have ever thought possible. I am thankful for Mimi and Mia, Sophia's heart sister. If there is anyone I know that has fought harder then my little girl, it is Mia. She held on for her heart and she is doing so well! I am thankful for my family. Jason and I have had so much love and support from so many people from our families it is unimaginable. I cannot say enough thanks to my Aunt Linda, my cousin Claire, my grandma, and Tina for taking time out of their lives to come and be a support to Jason, Gabi, Sophia and me. I don't think I could ever find the right words to truly thank them for what they did for me especially, those few weeks they were there. I am most thankful for my mom. Three times she has dropped everything and hopped on an airplane to help Jason, Gabi, Sophia and me.

Here is a picture of Sophia and her great-grandma Robinson. She came up here for Thanksgiving to meet the girls and it is so nice to see how the girls interact with her. With all of her cooking I have told her that I want to keep her here so she can feed us!!
