Yesterday marked the 17th year my family lost my dad, grandpa, and cousin in a plane accident. There isn't a day I don't think about my dad and wish so many things were different. But then, at the same time, I know his mission here on earth was complete and he has so much more work to do in heaven. I've always felt my dad has always been with me and he is my guardian angel. I truly believe my dad helped me make my decision to place Noah. I like to believe my dad was teaching and preparing Noah to come to this earth and telling him all about me and my love for him. My biggest fear is Noah ever feeling like I abandoned him or didn't want him or love him. But I honestly feel my dad helped him prepare and they were watching over me together to help me place Noah with his family. My dad is such an amazing man. He passed a week before my 4th birthday, but I still remember moments we've had together. And I am so grateful for the memories I do have. I am looking forward to ...

Do you want to know what the best feeling is? It is never having to worry for one second about your child. Noah has such a great family with amazing parents who put their 100% into parenthood. There hasn't been one single moment this entire time since I placed Noah where I ever had to worry about his health or needs being met or how loved he is. Isn't that something? To know not only are his needs being met but exceeds in a way where I constantly feel at peace. Sometimes when I am alone and I am crying because I miss him so much I think about how I'm so lucky that the only thing I am crying about is missing him. Nothing else. Everything just all feels at peace. On March 15, 2014 Noah Andrew Danielson was sealed in the Gilbert Temple to his parents. My heart feels full. This day made my decision all worth it. 

Half a year, I can't believe it's been half a year since sweet Noah was born into this world. My heart has been shown the most perfect kind of love. I have so much love for that sweet boy. It is so fun to hear all about his milestones and to see him growing up. He has two bottom teeth that came in, and he is now sitting up all on his own. He has the best little belly laugh and is full of smiles. Everytime I see him he looks so much older and I just can't believe how fast time has gone by. He is the best thing to have ever happen to me and my favorite person in the world. I love you Noah.
