matthew is 6 now.
he was our baby for 4 years before aj was born. as his dad and i hugged him and kissed him and greeted him and fussed over him yesterday, i couldn’t help remembering the times.

i have been running countless articles in my mind, but i think i will write on this one. i am a very blessed person.
