Today I grieve!!

Today started as any other day until we receive the news. We just learned that we lost a family member today. He was only 17 years old and his name was Jeremy. It pains me to see my husband in so much pain, cause he was close to Jeremy. It's sad to see a young life gone and it was unexpected and sudden. Life is short and we always take things for granted and never realizing all the things we have in life until it is to late. I know that we will see him again and that he really didn't leave us he is still with us in our hearts. He is now angel watching over us as we go on with our lives. It so sad to see his life end at such a young age, but know he can watch over all of us and make sure we are safe and sound. We will miss you and we will always love you Little Jeremy. You were a great kid and you always made to room joyful when everyone is not happy. I'm grateful that I got to meet you when I did and I'm also grateful that you got to meet Devin when you did. Please watch over the family and make sure everyone is safe and sound during this time of grieve and when the holidays come around. Rest In Peace little Jeremy God bless you and always know we love you. I wish we would of known what we know now so we could of helped you when you needed. You were never alone you always had us and your family to help you through anything that is was family is. But I know down deep we will see you again and then we can get the answers to all the question we have, but as for now our question will remain unanswered.

I sit here trying my hardest to get over this so I can be strong for my little boy, but it hurts me to know that something like that can happen to him and I want to protect him for the rest of his life, but how can I protect him from himself when he gets older?  It scares me knowing that anything can happen to him ( But I know nothing will happen to him I know its just depression with what happened today talking) and I have no control over. My prayers goes out to my family.

Christmas!!! And other updates

Well this was our second Christmas together as a married couple and this is Devin's first Christmas...

We didn't have a whole lot of money to get each other expensive gifts, but the greatest gift of all is our son Devin.... We went to Cindy and Jer's place first to get our christmas present that they got us. Devin really didn't care about anything he was a good little baby and slept most of the time. Then we went to Grandma Levin's place to give her christmas present to her. We then went to granny and grandpa's and visit for a little bit. Then we went to his parents house so Cj can be able to talk to Michael when he calls. As we arrived he had just called and was talking with Chris. We give out present and visit, Cj got to talk to Michael for a little bit and then Shawntel and Thad arrived and gave their gifts. We were invited to stay for dinner with his parents. Then we went to Brenda's place for a little bit and then we came home.

We really didn't do much for new years expect go to Cindy and Jer's. It was nice to get out of the house for a change. I'm constantly stuck in the house with no one to talk to or hang out with except for Devin but that is if he is a wake most of the the time he is sleeping. At least this new year was better than last year cause last year we was in the process of moving out of the apartment that we were living at. I believe it was for the best cause we are in a different place that is better and I now have a wonderful little boy. I hope this year is a better year, but I have to make with what I got cause this year is full of surgeries for Devin to get his cleft lip and cleft palate repair. I know that everything is going to be okay and when everything is done he would look as if he never had a cleft lip and cleft palate.

December 29 was Devin 1 month mark and I can't believe is he a month already, well he'll be going on two this month. But it feels as if I just had him a couple of weeks ago, I can't believe how fast the time has gone. I miss being pregnant with him, but at the same time I'm glad he is here cause I can now hold him. He is really a good baby he doesn't really get that fussy unless it is feeding time or he is fight sleep. I'm still trying to get him on a schedule, but as stubborn as he is he fights but eventually we win and he goes to sleep.
