Makes you thankful

Happy Tuesday! So there comes times in my life that reality hits you in the face and makes you thankful for what you have. I have a beautiful family who I thank God every day! My son is beyond wonderful and I don't know what I did to deserve such an awesome child. He makes me a better person every day and makes me work harder for everything I have.  I came across another amazing woman/mother through a blog I look at, Mama Laughlin. I was at work and needed a mental break and decided to look at it. Of course I sat there at my desk, hiding my face crying as I read this blog and looking at the sweet pictures of her son Grayson who has leukemia at the tender age of 5. She tells the story about how she asked Grayson one night laying in bed how he felt during a treatment  for his chemo and she started crying and just holding him, and he looks at her and says, "Mommy don't worry, nothing is going to happen to me."  As I am reading this I am sobbing at work thinking I can not imagine going through what she has gone through and still going through. Moments like that puts everything into reality and slaps you in the face like stop complaining and enjoy every moment you have with you healthy child stupid! I always make sure I give Gavin tons and tons of kisses every day and tell him how much I love him even though he has NO idea what I am saying to him. He will one day though. Ironically this wonderful woman lives around me and wish I could just hug her and help out in any way that I can. But I know that any prayers mean the world to anyone during a hard time like they are going through. I hope you take a second to read this wonderful blog and count your many blessings that you have in your life and please keep this amazing little boy Grayson in your prayers.

 Lots of love,

First out the gate....

So here goes nothing! My first blog entry! I am not sure what I am getting myself into writing my heart out for everyone. I am doing this for my world, also known as my son Gavin Cole Byam. I want to keep up with him and everything he does so one day he can look back at this and reflect and I can look back and remember when he couldn't talk back.  I hope you enjoy reading about my little monkey. I will also throw random thoughts that come into my brain and I can't promise what will come out but I do promise you it will be awesome. I am a mother first then girlfriend, daughter, friend and on and on. I want this to be a place I can share anything, write thoughts to my son and a place where people can be themselves and share ideas so please don't be shy and say hello!! Till next time...
