What a Difference a Year Makes

It's been a long time since I've posted a blog entry, but I've been away for good reason. His name is Aaron Timothy. He just turned 5 months old yesterday. That's right...I had a baby!  He was born on my Mother's birthday, just like I had prayed for since the day I discovered I was expecting him. 

He is the most precious, amazing little man I've ever known in my life.  I had the honor of going into labor just as I got to the cemetery to put flowers on my Mom's grave. I informed my Doctor when I got to the hospital that he had 7 hours and 50 minutes to get my son here and even though he doubted it was possible, at 9:22 PM on September 17th, I had my precious angel.  The name Aaron means "exalted" and the name Timothy means "to honor God".  He was given a biblical name because my Mom had given that same gift to me. Timothy is the name of my Mom's Guardian Angel and I know she is watching over him, I see her in his smile and hear her in his laughter. I now know what true love is and all the little things I never quite understood before are all crystal clear now.

I realize how difficult it is to have your heart walking around on the outside of your body. He is my whole world and I am forever a changed and better woman because I am his Mom.  But Daytona is lurking, there are lots of changes in store for 2011 and I have a lot to say....so let's go racing and Mama, put down that bottle it's time to get to blogging.  May 2011 truly be the year of Denny Hamlin and may the greatest man and NASCAR driver on the planet be as blessed in his success as I am with my amazing, wonderful new life!
