My sister sent me a book called "29 Gifts in 29 Days". It is about a woman who was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at an early age. She spends the next months of her life living in a prison of her own self pity. Her neighbor, who is a spiritual healer, gives her a prescription to give 29 gifts in 29 days. By fulfilling this treatment, she is learning how to open her heart to the world and appreciate all that she has been blessed with instead of only focusing on what trials she is facing. I am not through the entire book yet, but I am getting the point and I am trying to make an effort to live my life this way as well. It is not that I think my life is miserable, I know that I am very blessed. But sometimes I do become lost in the sadness of being without my baby boy and all of the moments I will never experience with him because he is gone. Instead, I am working to remember the amazing gifts I have been given because of his life. Tomorrow will be his second birthday.
I love you Bridger!
I am proud of you, Staci. You encourage me to be better, as I watch you. I love you, Danny and Bridger more than you will ever know!!

I hope that special day was faced with smiles as you re-lived his life and all the love he granted.
Happy Birthday Bridger, you will never be forgotten in my thoughts.
