Cole's Anniversary

It has been eight years since we lost our sweet baby boy, Cole. Somedays it feels like a lifetime ago and somedays it feels like yesterday. Cole died when he was 8months and 13days old to a devastating disease called Spinal Muscualar Atrophy - SMA Type I. Mark and I have been through so much and we are so thankful for all three of our boys.
Tonight, we each tied a note to a balloon and let it go in memory of Cole. Carson was so excited and wrote a touching note to his big brother.
I put a few pictures of Cole below for you to see what a beautiful boy he was. The one with the party hat was his birthday party. I knew he wouldn't live to be 1years old, so I had a party marking his 1/2 year. We were lucky to have him for the time that we did.

Wow, I can't believe it's been 8 years. He was such a cute baby, and had the very best parents. I still think about him often, and it warms my heart to see you guys honoring his memory every year. You have such wonderful kids and a beautiful family.
