On August 1st, Edison was blessed in our home by Kyle. Then we enjoyed a wonderful evening with our family as we had a 3 month birthday celebration for Edison with lots of fun, food, and love. We ordered a ton of cupcakes, lit a birthday candle, sang Happy Birthday to Edison, and Grady helped blow it out. It was so special. I'm so glad we did it.
For those of you who may not know what a LDS baby blessings is, it is a special prayer given by the father (typically) for a baby after he or she is born. It is a special event for the family. We were so happy to share it with so many of our family members. As you may imagine, it was a very tender day for us. Kyle's blessings was perfect for Edison and the situation. It concentrated on Edison knowing how much he is loved in this life and for eternity and how he will make an ever lasting impact after he is gone to those who have loved him.
I'm grateful that we are finding ways to make memories with Edison such as these. Those moments are filled with much joy for our little guy and the time we have with him. We are certainly trying to make the most of them, but it is incredibly hard sometimes. We are constantly reminded how short our days with him on earth are, especially on days when he's not doing as well which are starting to come more fruequently. But days like this day will be so important and sweet to us as we look back after he is gone.
I am so glad Meagan and Craig were able to share that special day with the family. They were so happy to be there. Edison is a miracle, every single day. I'm so happy to see him chunkin' up. He is beautiful. You are such a strong woman. Keep it up Kelly, you are inspired and Heavenly Father loves you...just like the rest of us.
