I'm so thankful for all of the things I mentioned but probably the thing I feel most gratitude towards this year is the miracle that Jaxson 's low protein diet grants us.Without it Jaxson couldn't ever be his true self and we would not have the great privilege of knowing him the same way. Not a day goes by that I don't look at him and remember this miracle and my heart fills with thankfulness.

Diane and Brett, I am thankful that out of all the people in the world, Jaxson was sent down to you two. God doesn't make mistakes, and He knew who would be the best parents in the world for this amazing little boy. Just remember that!
Well Diane, I have a high water table and I couldn't help but be extremely touched by what you wrote. I am so thankful for you and your little family. Your friendship means so much to me! I still think Jaxson has the best mom. Love you!!!
