Born August 15, 2002 at 9:20 am weighing 4 lbs 15 oz and 18 ½ inches long. The first of 2 boys.
I came home from the hospital on August 17, 2002 with my mom, dad, 2 sisters (Kaylah and Rita), and a twin brother Michael.
Michael and I slept in a bassinet together in the living room for our first month and a half home. By then we were too big to sleep there together so we got our own room and a very comfy crib that we slept in.
My brother and I always held hands while we slept. When we were in bed we would talk alot to each other too. Michael did most of the talking. Mommy would sometimes move us away from each other but it wouldn't take us long to find the other one.
Michael had a big mouth so when it was time to eat I would let him go first. I would paitenly await my turn. Unless he was being quiet then I could go first. I loved being in mommy and daddy's arms. It was real warm there. Even though I would take cat naps while they held me, and had to share them with my brother, and at times my sisters, I enjoyed every bit of it.
My sister Kaylah liked to hold me and rub my head a lot. I guess since I didn't have much hair she figured she was helping to keep it warm. It worked. I still think Michael stole my hair while we were in mommy's belly.
My other sister Rita called me Ty-Ty. She didn't hold me as much but I think that is because she was not that much bigger than me.
My daddy liked to call me Yoda. I remeber him saying something about painting me green and holding my ears down. I still dont know about that one.
One night mommy went somewhere and daddy put us to bed. I heard mommy come home and I had something real important to tell her. So I started crying. She came in and got me, changed me into a clean diaper, and then I wanted to play. She held me and I told her how much I loved her and thank you for being my mommy. I even smiled at her as big as I could. I had never smiled at my mommy before, and I saw the tears fill her eyes when I did it. After a while she put me back to bed. I woke again this time to give everyone in my family a kiss and tell them good-bye. They didn't know yet, but it was time for me to go to heaven. |
