Dear Nolan,

You would have been 10 months old today. Just a  year ago this week we found out you were a boy! Your Daddy was so happy!

Not a day goes by that I wonder what you would be like and how our lives would be different if you were still here with us.

I still can’t believe you would be 2 months away from having your 1st big birthday party. GOD, how I wish that was the case. But I do have plans for you little guy. Mommy is going to have a BIG birthday party with all our family and friends to celebrate the day that you entered this world and proved those Doctors wrong. We will celebrate your teeny little life.

So it looks like I’ll be a busy Mommy trying to plan the perfect birthday party for such an important little booger. I bet you a lot of people will come, at least I hope.

What do you think…red & blue sail boat theme or something else? Maybe I should branch out, but then it wouldn’t feel like you. Any-who, I promise to make it special either way.

On another note, I am sure you and Josey have come together up there in Heaven and your looking down on us. I just have to think you two were too special to stay with us. God must have saw something mighty special in you two to bring you up there so early. We need you both to look over Kerry’s sister Kimmy as she is also expecting and I am sure she is scared to death after watching the fight her sister just went through. Bless her heart.

I miss you Nolan. I wish the days wouldn’t go by so fast. It’s just one more day from seeing you. The further away from having you and I hate that. I want to wake up every morning and walk in your room and see you standing in your crib waiting for me. I think that’s what you would be doing by now, I guess I really don’t know what your 1o month old self would be doing, I don’t even know when milestones happen for any baby. It’s so frustrating.

I love you little guy, I’m sure your not so little anymore. Stay close to Josey and watch over Kerry and Kimmy in these coming months. They are both going to need you little angels watching over them.

Love Always and Forever,

Your Mommy

P.S. Did I say how AWESOME your birthday party will be? Oh ya, I did! Just reminding you!

I would love to come to his party if I lived closer. I think about him everyday I see your site and think of him. It would have been great to see him and Makayla together. I hope Kimmy will be alright I will be praying for her hopefully they will keep a very close eye on her. Take care and I like the sailboat theme has to be nautical HUGS Aunt Chris.

Happy 10 months, Nolan. I saw a big yellow butterfly today and then a smaller yellow one a little later. I think Nolan and Josey were playing a little game of chase this afternoon. :)

I love the sailboat theme for his party - so perfect!
