a plant.....and a little boy

This is a story about a plant and a little boy.
See this plant below? I received it from a dear friend who visited me in the hospital the day I gave birth to my second child, my son. She surprised me from out town, brought this, something for my son and something for my oldest child (daughter). It was so special to me and the fact that I could replant it made it even better. However, I was afraid I would not be able to take care of my little plant well enough. I was afraid my little plant would not grow as it should. I was afraid.
Regardless, I came home and rooted it in our front planter, just waiting on something to go wrong. For a while, it didn't do so well. In fact, all last year was rough and bleak for my little plant.

This is my little plant today. Growing strong and developing. Developing a little behind but developing still the same. I have watched my little plant through the last year and a half, holding my breath, trying to be positive that things would be okay. They are. See my little plant? It's a miracle it's alive.

Now, meet said son.
This is the day he was born the day I received the plant. This is one of the best days of my life. However, I was afraid. I was afraid I would not be able to take care of my little boy well enough. I was afraid my little boy would not grow and live as he should. I was afraid.
Regardless, I eventually brought my little boy home and rooted him into our lives and home, just waiting on something to go wrong. For a while, it didn't go so well. In fact, all last year was rough and bleak for my little boy.

BUT, this is my little boy today. Happy, relatively healthy, growing strong, and developing. Developing a little behind, but developing still the same. I have watched my little boy through the last year and a half, holding my breath, trying to be positive that things would be okay. They are. See my little boy? He is our miracle.

This is a story about a plant and a little boy. Coincidence they are on the same path? You be the judge.
