Today's thankful post is easy....sort of. It's my two youngest sons' birthdays, so while I am always grateful for the opportunity to be a mom, on these days, I am especially so. But today, as odd as it sounds, I am thankful to be a mom to an angel. You see, today is not only their birthday, but it also the angel day for one of them. You can read their story here.
I cherish the time I carried the both of them in my womb. It is the only time I ever "held" them together. It is the only time they were together. Being a mom to an angel is bittersweet, and believe me, it took me a while to get to the point that I can find reasons to be thankful for it. The primary reason I am thankful is it gives me hope. I have a reason to live my life in the gospel because I know that if I do, I will see my son again and raise him in the next life. There is little that is more powerful than that.
Here is the display I made for him..

We also release balloons for Kyle and for my niece, Mallorie, who died in 2001.
And we make either cupcakes or cookies each year, decorated with a K.
This is Kraig holding the flowers at Kyle's gravesite.
