Desmon's Birthday:

It's hard to believe that this little boy who has come into our lives turned nine years old yesterday.
I went down to Chad's for cake last night and to take Des his present.  I had given him a small diesel truck that had pictures of bears, etc and Alaska painted on the trailer, plus five gold dollars.  I don't know which he was more excited for.  When he opened the gold dollars he told Todd he had finally made a discovery.  lol 
It's so good to see him so happy and content.  He was such an angry and hurt little boy for a few months with his Mom coming back into his life.  It's good she's back around him as he needs her, but he spent so much time worrying about her, if she was going to come home at night, etc.  Now that he is settled back in full time at Chad's, he's like a changed little boy.
I am very proud of Chad for taking in a little boy that isn't even his or the boys mother ever his girlfriend; just a neighbor in need.  Chad has a big heart and he clearly loves Desmon.
I had so planned on taking pictures of Desmon and his cake but totally forgot.  Pictures showing happy memories would mean a lot to him. I'll get him this weekend at our April Birthday's Barbecue.

I am grateful for this little boy whom we all love and welcome into our family.
