30 Days of Thanks: Day 27--Choices

Dear Jordy-Bug,

Today I am thankful for choices. Choices like walking or driving. Speaking out or remaining silent. Wearing jeans or skirts (Mommy never chooses skirts, by the way). Eating in or dining out. Getting married or staying single. Reading a book or surfing the internet. Voting Democratic or Republican. Watching TV or going to a movie. Drinking wine or beer. Going to school or remaining uneducated. Loving or hating. Believing in God or adhering to atheism.

Some of these may seem like mundane choices. Some of them are big, important choices. Regardless, they are decisions that not everyone has the economic, political, or religious freedom to make. It is a testament to how blessed Daddy and I are that we have the luxury of making them. Even the silly ones.

Today and every day, we love you, remember you, and honor you. Those aren't conscious choices though. They are part of who we are. And I'm grateful for that too.

Love,

On March 14, 2012, I gave birth to Jordyn, the most beautiful baby girl ever. During delivery, however, she was deprived of oxygen. We lived with her in the NICU for two weeks, loving her, holding her, reading to her, singing to her, bathing her, changing her diapers, styling her full head of dark brown hair, praying over her, and sharing her with friends and family, until she went home to Jesus on March 28, 2012. These are my love letters to Jordyn Tyse-Dallas "TD" Sander; our little Jordy-Bug.
