Austin is such a sweet boy. Today I was watching him with his new baby sister Ambree and it brought tears to my eyes. He loves her so much and he can't help himself to show her.
He will be walking by and if he sees her upset he will bend down and try to make her smile.
He is always concerned with how she is doing and he will tell anyone that will listen, that he is her big brother and he loves her so very much. He was this way with our baby Sharyn before she passed away. He would always hug my belly and say (As he held up his hands as wide as they would go) "I love my baby Sharyn this much!" and "I can't wait to finely be a BIG BROTHER!" with the biggest grin on his face. He would always talk to her in my belly and dream of the day we could bring her home. When we lost Sharyn I think it hurt him the most out of all of our children. He would cry and ask "why did she have to die." Of course that would just break my heart. He did truly love her and would miss her very much. Now, every once in awhile he will cry for no reason and say "I miss my baby Sharyn" Of course that crushes me. All I can do is hug him and say "I miss her too" I would often wonder if he would be alright again, after loosing Sharyn, someone he loved so much and I still worry about him. But I see healing in his heart and joy return to his little face when he sees his new baby sister.
It is so much fun to see him glowing again, and to see the pure joy on his face when he is talking and playing with Ambree. He still misses his baby Sharyn very much. He talks about her all of the time, but now happiness has returned into his little heart. I love him so much and I am so grateful Heavenly Father has blessed us with another baby sister. All though Ambree will never replace Sharyn, she has brought such a light in our home. We still feel an hole in our family but know that one day it will be filled and we will be a complete family once again. I look forward to that time.
I now realize how important the little things are and I try not to let them slip by with out noticing them. We don't know what is around the next corner, so we need to cherish each little moment as they come! I do look forward to the time my family will be reunited and Austin can once again hug his baby Sharyn and tell her how much he loves her.
