My greatest blessing in life is becoming a mother. Fifteen years ago today, I was given the greatest blessing in my life - I became a mother. Our sweet Carter "Mike" entered into our world. This little guy rocked my world! I loved him to pieces. I love my kids so much its hard to live without one of them.
It's hard not to think about the things I should be doing - buying balloons, baking a cake, wrapping presents....
Birthdays are birthdays, and anniversaries are anniversaries. They are tough. There is no opting out no matter how hard you try. You can avoid the day as much as possible, but it is still going to come. I am sad today to be a bereaved mother.
Carter's life was cut way too short - at the age of nine....but his love lives on forever. And ever. And his love for Jesus touched the lives of so many!
There will never come a time where I won't think about who my son would be, what he would look like and how he would be. For as long as I breathe, I will grieve and love Carter with all my heart and soul. I know he is safe in Jesus' arms and that brings me great comfort, but at the same time, we are hurting. There are no words to express the love of a child and the pain of losing one!
I am thankful God will be my strength today...and always. I am thankful God will hold me and carry me through this day and the days to come; as the pain we suffer is a pain for a lifetime.
I will stay close to God's promises, keep them close to my heart, and remind myself that He has good plans for our family. God is good and He has shown His faithfulness to us over and over again. I will find peace and comfort from Him and be thankful for Carter's life - for he was the most amazing kid ever! I am grateful the Lord saw fit to allow me to be Carter's mom. He has truly enriched my life.
Happy Heavenly Birthday my sweet boy! Love you....miss you....can't wait to see you!!!

Kaity,I and her mom Melanie always remember Carter on his Birthday. We always know how old he would be since Kaity turned 14 the same year Carter would be 15, hers in March Carters in July. Then she reminisces about her friendship when they were just little kids. She wonders what he would look like and if they would still be friends. My prayers are always with you and your family Nicole.
