Thanks, Mom!

Dear Mom,
How can we ever thank you for everything you did for us these past few weeks? That first week, when Hannah was in the hospital, was so difficult for us! It would have been unbearable if I was also worrying about who was caring for Andrew and Logan all day (and night!), or if Bryan had to stay home with them and leave me to face the hopital alone. I really needed him there with me, and you made that possible. I missed the boys and wished I could be home with them, but I always knew that they were in good hands! THANK YOU!

Thanks for letting us sleep in when Hannah had been up during the night! Thanks for taking Andrew to school every morning and enduring Logan's diaper battles ("I NEED the motorcycle diaper!") The boys say, "Thanks for the chocolate milk, Nana!" Thanks for doing my cooking and cleaning and laundry for three weeks. Thanks for giving Bryan and me a much needed date night! Thanks for supporting me through all my breastfeeding issues and helping me to feel like a good Mom! My entire life, you have been the definition of selfless service to me! I just hope I can follow your example and be as great a Mom as you!

I miss you already!
Love, Summer

Being a mom is an interesting thing. You think that once your children are all grown you stop worring or wanting to help. But it doesn't ever stop.

I am happy, thankful, and blessed to be able to help you, and your family, as well as your brothers and sisters. It means a lot to a mom to still be needed.

I started missing you days before I left your home. The airport is the most horrible and happiest place. I miss those that I leave.

I will always love you and miss you and your family.

Thank you for letting be a part of your family.

Love,

Mom

OHHHH Summer! I want your Mom! I'm so glad she was here for you. NICU would be even more unbearable (if that's possible!) without help from people that really love you. Hannah is GORGEOUS!
