Two years ago I witnessed one of the most amazing events in my life. The birth of my first grandson Silas! I saw my sons first reaction to seeing his son and for that moment I will always be grateful. He is a happy healthy boy and makes my heart melt every time I see him. He is the firstborn for my middle child Dustin. One month ago I was anxiously waiting again for my oldest sons birth of his two sons although not in the room with them this time (I respected Brookes wishes) although I cant say that I didnt contemplate putting scrubs on and going in! Lol so instead I eagerly waited outside the door and waited for my son to text me or listen for a cry and not from chris. So we hear that first cry and nervously and excitedly wait for another cry but instead nurses went rushing in the room and a text from my son saying mom pray hes unresponsive..... As my world at that time is in such a blur of emotion as everyone elses awaiting the arrival of these two perfect little boys that were supposed to go home. We prayed and continued to pray. As the story of the past month most of you know but I wanted to share something else. You see I saw my son look at his sons and feel helpless and at times hopeless I watched him as he agonized over the possibility of having to let one of his sons go.... As his heart was literally being ripped out of his soul my heart as his mother was also ripping apart because that was my son and I had to watch him with the love of a parent watch and I couldnt fix it. You see no matter how old they are you want to fix whatevers wrong. I am saying all that to say this. I watched my son change diapers, help with tubes that were all over these boys, change clothes, feed them, take their temp. Cry over them, pray for them but most of all loved them as a father should. I watched him be strong for Brooke and them boys because they needed him. So I say that to say this I am so proud of the amazing fathers that these two sons of mine are to their sons. It makes my heart proud because you see I was a single parent most of their lives and their father lived in another state so they really didnt have a role model. Im proud of you Dustin and Christopher and I know that Silas, Titus and Maddox and little Henry will have an amazing and wonderful adventurous life. You both are amazing and I love you!! Mom
