A story behind every song

This past weekend we got an unexpected package in the mail from our dear friends Hilary and Marty. Inside the envelope was a handwritten note and a CD. Tonight, we finally had a chance to watch it, and curled up onto the couch with Sully and loaded that bad boy onto the TV not knowing what to expect.

The song thats now on my profile started playing on the CD right about the time the very first image I ever saw of my little boy on ultrasound popped up, followed by pictures of my baby shower with the last image ending on our first family photo Shaun and I ever had with Sully, minutes after he came out. As I held Sully sleeping on my chest, I cried, like a baby - I mean I really got choked up, and I think this song may be a new favorite.

Hilary and Marty,

You'll never know how that CD touched my heart. I laughed and cried. We feel so, so blessed to have such wonderful people like yourselves to call friends in our lives. You are two of the very few people who truly can understand what this journey has been like for us. Hilary, I lay awake so many night thinking about how far we've come from bitter old bitches talking trash and drowning our sorrows with alcohol and laughter to being new mommys within in months of each other. I'm so grateful we were blessed to embark on this road, the four of us, together in so many ways. You've become family, and we love you all dearly. We can't wait for Marissa to be here, and I can't wait for that first picture of them together.

Nikki,

Thank you so very much for the beautiful scrapbook you put together of Sully's baby shower. I look at it almost everyday, and I can't tell you how much it means to have something so beautiful that you put together with so much love. We love that you and Thomas are in our lives, and that Sully is so lucky to have you guys as his Auntie and Uncle. I'm so happy that you guys are so close to be able to spend time with him and us.

Thank you guys for reminding us tonight how blessed we are to have him, and to have friends like you. We love you all.
