I have a 6 year old!!!!

  Holy cow, how is it possible that I have a 6 year old? It's crazy to think that Peyton is already 6, I remember the day he was born and everything about it, although giving birth isn't usually something you forget ;) I would like to say that I remember everything about him as a baby, unfortunately I don't. I had to deal with post-partum depression and let's just say it wasn't pretty. I barely remember the first 2 months of his life, yes I hate to say that but it's true. Thank goodness my sister seen signs that something wasn't right and told me that I needed to get some meds. Sometimes when I think about it and how bad it was it scares me and I'm so thankful that he's alive, believe me there were somedays when I didn't think either of us would make it to the end of the day. He definitely is a special little guy, see I had a brother Wendall who died of cancer when I was 15, Wendall was 17 and let me tell you, Peyton looks and acts exactly like him. Which by the way Peyton's middle name is Wendall, it's so very fitting. I remember one day I was over at my parents house and I was going through some pictures and I came across one of Wendall when he was a baby. I actually asked my mom why she had that picture of Peyton and where she got the outfit, I got my own kid and my brother's baby picture mixed up. There are so many people that have come up to me and told me that he looks just like Wendall, so yes Peyton is very special in more ways then one. He has such a tender heart and sweet spirit. I just love him so much and I can't wait to see what kind of a man he's going to turn out to be and I know he's going to be pretty amazing. So Peyton, if you read this someday just know that I love you so very much and I'm so glad that God blessed me with an amazing son like you.
