#15 - 14 Years with Alex

He was such a cute boy!  From the moment of conception Alex has fought to get the absolutely most possible out of life.  When I was on bed rest and we were not sure he would make it, He lived.  When he was born nearly 6 weeks early (he was supposed to be a Christmas baby), he fought.  The nurses in NICU regularly commented on the fact that they knew this boy wanted to live.

And then as we watched his personality develop, we knew that God gave us Alex to keep us young, laughing, and savoring life.  Not a moment passes by that Alex doesn't choose to grab on to the positive, find a reason to laugh, and savor the moment.  My prayer is that he never loses this love of life.  God has great things planned for him and it is fun watching him grow into the man God wants him to be!

Happy 14th birthday!
