Dear Jakey,
Today we went to Sydney’s birthday party. Hard to believe she is 5. When we first moved to Saratoga, Trish and Sydney were one of the first friends we met. At Ethan’s second birthday party, there are two of my most favorite pictures of you and they are both with Miss Trish. You were such a chubby, happy baby. You hung out with her while I ran around being in the hostess and thinking how lucky I was to have such an easy baby. Who would have known that pictures from that party would end up being forever imprinted as the “before” photos? It was the night or really early morning after that party when you had your first seizure and we begin this journey. I watched Miss Trish today with her boy Alex (another chubby,happy baby) and it reminded me of that party. You just never know when things will change but once they do, you can almost remember the exact moment in changed. And you can never be really sure when or what will you bring you. So tonight I will hug you a little harder, to hang on to this moment before it fades into the next and whatever it may bring. I love you so much my beautiful boy.
Love,
Mommy
I can remember holding that chubby, happy baby “before”. He was such a litte flirt. I think he still is, but Ethan has taught him to play it cool. Don’t put it all out there-keep the girls guessing! A few things remain the same before and after.
1. Those big beautiful eyes light up a room and have so many stories behind them.
2. He brings a smile to everyone’s face and truly touches everyone’s heart.
3. He’s surrounded by love!
It was great seeing you guys. And Jakey, brace yourself. Paige has big plans for you at her party! Love you all! ~Trish
I remember that day like it was yesterday…one of my favorite pictures is the one that I’m holding that chubby, happy “nene lindo”as we say good-bye that night and he’s touching my cheek.
Yes, a lot changed that night but the love we all have for you is stronger than ever!
Love you, nene lindo! xoxoxoxo abue
