mir·a·cle:
"A surprising and welcome event that is not
explicable
by natural or
scientific laws and is considered to be divine."
(~Webster dictionary)
mir·a·cle: Mason Andrew Strickland celebrating his 4th birthday.
Mason has defied all of the odds, laws of nature, medical
explanations. Mason is one determined little boy with a special mission here on
earth. We may never know what exactly his mission is, but he certainly has
taught us all lessons about faith, hope, prayer, charity, endurance, joy, priorities,
love, patience, and so much more.
We do know the miracle that Mason is, and the many miracles that
have blessed his life, have been given to us by our divine Heavenly Father, the
God of all Miracles. He has led and guided the numerous doctors and nurses that
have taken care of Mason along this journey. He has held my hands though all
the tearful and scary times, making sure I have never been alone. He has
comforted Mason and our entire family through the many speed bumps we have
encountered. He has sent many many "angels" by way of family,
neighbors, friends, and strangers to help us these last 4 years. For Him, all
of Mason's caregivers, and our "angels: I am grateful beyond words. . I am
tearful today thinking and writing about ALL that has been given us and how
truly blessed we are!!!
Today my heart is very full!
Full of:
GRATITUDE
JOY
LOVE
HAPPINESS
BELIEF
Dear Mason,
I want you to know how very happy I
am today to celebrate this 4th birthday with you. In fact, better words would
be... over-joyed and emotional. You are well deserving of a very happy day! You
have been through so much in your short life. More than most of us will ever
understand or experience! It's hard to believe that it was four years ago
tonight that you came into our world. Although the journey at times has seemed
long, it does not seem like four years has gone by. You are the sunshine in our
family. You help us realize that we need to be happy just be alive! Your love
of life is very special and contagious. Mason, your personality is one of kind
and so absolutely fun. Your smile is radiant and beautiful. Your spirit and
countenance is like that of an angel. I feel so lucky that you call me
"Mom"!
Love and Hugs Forever,
Mom"

are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as
if everything is a miracle." (~Albert Einstein)
Happy Happy 4th Birthday Miracle Mason!

Happy, Happy Birthday Mason! You look awesome and full of life these days. I love the pictures that your mom has posted. The playset outside looks like a lot of fun!
Summer - I often don't comment but check often for updates on Mason. Thanks so much for taking time to write updates. Great seeing him walking in the video... He looks like he is just taking off and taking in the whole world now as a big boy. Love the smiles in these latest posts too.
Yes, we need to enjoy every moment that life has to offer. I learned this through my own OHS. My prayers for a happy, healthy, and zero rejection year for Mason!!
Peace,
Traci
