A Day with Easton and Kind Neighbors

At lunch time, I was excited to see my mom and Easton enter my door. I hadn't seen Easton since Sunday, so seeing him melted my heart as always.

The toughest part was when he wanted Mamaw and was bashful to me.  Being a mom, you are so use to them only wanting you. So, when he was scared to get too close to me at first, my heart dropped. Eventually he warmed up and we drew together with markers. It just made my heart smile when he finally called me mommy again and told me he missed me. 

Once James got back from work, Easton was excited to see his daddy too. My mom watched Easton in the room while James helped me shower. When it was time for my mom to go back home, Easton walked out with James to help my mom unload a car seat and to say good bye. It was hard for Easton to leave his Mamaw. He wanted to go back home with her. So when he enteted the room, he was full of tears because he didn't understand he would be staying with us overnight tonight. I think that was a tough thing for James and I to both experience because it is hard to see him upset. Easton has been very strong through this all, but I know down in his little innocent heart he doesn't get the sutuation. So yes, that was a hard moment for me because all I want to do is love him, cuddle with him, and play trucks with him. 

However once the evening has went on, he is back to his goofy self.  Our neighbors came by and brought us O'Charleys, which very thoughtful of them. After eating hospital food for days, it was nice to eat something different. They sat and visited with us for a while and offered us any help. Having neighbors like that is a true blessing. So thank you Abbie and Wayne for going out of your way to make our night! God truly blessed us with amazing neighbors!

After they left, Easton went pee on the potty! He has kept his training pants dry, and is such a big boy! A few minutes later, he told daddy he had to go again, and he went #2! and came to tellme it was a big one lol! I am so proud of him. God has truly blessed us with this and having our parents really work with him on it! Then it was time for daddy to take him outside. It was so cute because he told daddy he had to wear his boots to take him. I then said that he had to give me a huge hug in order to go play outside. He ran over to my bed, arms opened  wide, and gave me the most heartwarming hug! I told him I loved him so much, and he said, " I love you too Mommy!". That was the highlight of my day.

Even though he may seem to be a little bashful toward me at first, I know he loves and misses me so much. I dream of the moment I get home with Asher and Easton at my sides. I just want to cuddle with them and show them what a mommy's love is all about. I want to be their biggest cheerleader and fan. 

Tonight I will smile as we a family will be together and have a sleepover together. I won't stop grinning because my buddy will be here with me and I can watch him fall to sleep near me. It's moments like these I cherish most... being with my family is the greatest blessing in the world, and Asher will be right with us too! 

Thank you all for your continued prayers in this fight for Asher! You are all amazing individuals to us who are truly making a difference in our lives. It's times like these that you realize how special of a gift friends and family and prayer warriors are! Let us continue in this fight together with God , Josh, and all of the Angels and Saints for Asher! God truly works in miraculous ways and my trust is out fully in Him. I know He is protecting Asher and helping him increase in strength each day! Dear God, you are our greatest blessing! I love You above all things! Amen .
