The Sparkle In My Eye

When our son Dylan was born 2 years ago I could have never imagined loving something more then I loved that little boy. I always told myself, if we had another baby how do you love two? Where does the love come from and how do you spread that love between the both of them? When we found out that Dylan had down syndrome, I new in my heart that I wanted to make sure Dylan had brother's and sisters that loved him and that he was surrounded by nothing but pure joy, but I also new Dylan would make the best big brother ever someday. His heart is so full and his smile is an endless sparkle.

Since bringing Haylee home Dylan was a little hesitant at first and was not quite sure of her. I am sure many emotions went through that little mind of his, and probably was wondering when the heck she was going to leave...HA! As we told him that she was here to stay and this was his sister and she will forever protect you. The last 4 months they have become so much closer, and Dylan is finally taken by her. He talks to her, kisses her, looks at her through the monitor when she is sleeping and says "sissy" today was one of those days where he was by her side with everything they did. When he was lying next to her I wondered what goes through that little head of his? I could only imagine.

"Sometimes being a big brother is even better then being a super hero"

 

 

To see the relationship between these two and how much it changes each and everyday melts me. I know they will be the best of friends and they will care for each other in so many ways. I pray they will love unconditionally, I pray they will hold hands and run through the park like free birds on a Sunday afternoon. I pray the world will see my son through my daughter eyes in how much she will protect him from the evil surroundings of this world. I pray for there hearts to be pure and innocent for as long as they can. I pray for strength and courage through the good and bad times and that they will be kind and loving to everyone and to always see the beauty in each and everyone hearts, but most of all to ALWAYS be there own kind of different.

 

 

As a mom nothing shines brighter in my eyes then to see the bond these two have. All my hard and long days that I complain about so much, everything goes to waste when I come home to my family each and everyday! Loving these two our my world and they are my rock. They are what keeps me to keep striving for the best each and everyday!

 

 

"Don't ever think you're nothing, because somewhere along the line, there's going to be someone who thinks you are everything" Love always your big brother Dylan!
