My very special Mother!

I am so thankful beyond description for my Mother. Words do NOTHING to describe how much my Mother has blessed me.

When I was three weeks old, she picked me up from the hospital in the NICU, and she took me home adopted me, and there I'gve lived for 24 years in a wonderful wonderful house with wonderful parents who've nurtured me, keptme safe, and taught me all about Jesus.

When I was a wee lil guy, my Mother made me a blanket and brailled my Birthday on it, so that I could feel it and this has always been, and always is going to be very special to me. She's the one who stuck by me through the numerous operations and procedures, and who had to deal with the patient who droned on about the medical equipment like he was the Dr. Not that many people will tell you the workings of a Cardiopulmonary Bypass macchine at eight years old and not many people will drone on about ECMO, and ventilators at the age of nine, but I did, and Mom was the one who had to remind me to be quiet so that the Drs. could perform their work, and could conduct the examination.

When I had my trach, and when I woke up from surgery crying for my best friend Sammy, and mad that I could not speak, Mom was the one who said, "Peter? You are OK. Sammy isn't here, but you can call him later, but you need to rest and let the pain medications do their job!" When I couldn't see my ventilator's settings because of the ventilator circuit that was weighing heavy on my trach making it very painful to move, my Mom read them to me, and when I wrote on my Iphone that I was upset that Ineeded the trach inthe first  place she prayed with me, and told me that It was the best thing for me.

It's times like this I consider very special. My mom would often pray with me and we'd let Jesus take my frustration, and/or anger about a situation away. In fact last night, I came to her very upset because Aaron's Mother had posted on Facebook that he was desatting, requiring a lot of oxygen, and having to be bagged, and so her and I had a word of prayer for Aaron and I rested well that night knowing that Aaron was safe in the arms of Jesus. I'm so thankful for times like last night when Mom was there with me, and when we went to Jesus in prayer!


Another very very special thing about my Mommy is that she always sends me Drone videos that she finds online, and I LOVE watching footage from a Drone!

But most importantly, My Mother has loved me, and has given everything that she has to make sure I had as healthy and as pleasant of a life as possibly possible, and no doubt, she's done such a profoundly wonderful job at that, because I'm always happy, and always have a reason to laugh.

Thank you Mommy for being such a wonderful Mother and for fighting forme! I have so much to be thankful for, and you're at the top of thelist, next to Jesus!

God bless you all!

REMEMBER, ONLY HE, can love you PERFECTLY!!
