Happy Birthday sweet Dylan

My first born child was born 4 years ago today.  He was 1lb 2oz and 11 3/4 inches long.  He was so little that the first time I got to see him I was scared.  He was very sick and his lungs failed him.  He lived for 5 1/2 brave days.  I was sick too but I got to go home the day he died.  In some ways I think that he waited to make sure I was ok.  I will never forget the night he died I thanked him for teaching us how to love.  I decided right then and there I wanted to have more children.  My dad said that everyone has a purpose and his must have been completed.  I hated hearing that but i have such a better understanding of that now.  If for nothing else when Olivia and Ava were born I knew they werent as sick and had a much better chance of making it.  Dylan has touched so many lives!
