Happy Fathers Day to my sweet dad and my amazing husband. Today is one of those firsts that we have to get through and I feel like we are doing a pretty good job today. Today is also Gavin's 6 month birthday. I can't believe that it has already been six months since our sweet little boy came into this world and blessed our lives forever. I still miss him so much and not a day goes by that I don't think about him, but I know that he is better now. I love him so much and I will never forget the short 11 days that I was able to spend with him. But today we are celebrating what an amazing dad Gavin has. Ellis is the most amazing father. He spent everyday of Gavin's life with him and I know that Gavin felt his love. From the time Gavin was born until the time he passed away, his daddy was there. Ellis was the first person that Gavin met. I know he knew from the time he was born that he was loved beyond measure. Ellis went over to Cook's shortly after they took Gavin over because we didn't want him to be there alone. We wanted him to feel the presence of his family and to know that he wasn't alone. There were a few evenings when Ellis stayed late at the hospital by himself so that he could spend some quality time with just Gavin. I am so happy that Ellis did that while he was able to. And one of my very favorite memories about Ellis and Gavin is when Ellis held him and sang to him the day we took Gavin off the ventilator. He sang to him about heaven and showed him the love that he had for him. What an amazing scene to have in my mind of my sweet baby and his amazing daddy.
Today is also the day that I thank God for the amazing dad that I have. My dad has always been there for me my entire life. I have always been a daddy's girl and I still am. Not only is my dad an amazing father, but he is also an amazing grandpa. Gavin was so blessed to know him. In his short little life, Gavin was able to spend time with his grandpa every morning. Gavin's gma and pop would go up to the hospital every morning around 730 and spend time with him and then they would stay the entire day with us at the hospital. I know that Gavin blessed his grandpa's life, but I believe that Gavin was also blessed by his grandpa. I love my dad so much and I thank God for blessing me with such an amazing man as my dad.
I hope everyone enjoys their day.
Love to all,
Melissa
