Stacy-Sept 1st already. September is my favorite month. Bill and I said “I love you” for the first time on Sept 13, 2006. One year we were married on Sept 15, 2007. Three years later we became parents. Tripp arrived on Sept 11, 2010. Absolutely the best day of our lives. And Sept 2012 was the last full month that I heard Tripp’s voice. “I love you mommy” How much do you love Dadda? “I love Dadda to the moon” What do you want for breakfast? “Ummm, hot dogs, giggle giggle” You can’t have hot dogs for breakfast silly. “Ummm, eggs!!!” Yes, you can have eggs. “I watch Queen, pleeeaaaase” “I go to schsooool” “No!l” “That’s Mine!!” “Ice Screeeam”
Mimi-Tripp, do you love Mimi? “Noooo, I love Bobo, giggle giggle, run and hide” Bobo-Tripp, do you love Bobo? “noooo, I love Mimi, giggle giggle, run and hide”
Tripp loved to mess with mom and dad. And he just loved to talk all the time. And such a daredevil. You had to watch him constantly. He was all boy, that’s for sure.
It is just so different now. But I have no reason to complain. Tripp is here, he is smiling, he is loved by millions. Did I mention he is still here! As long as he is with us, Bill and I can get through anything. He is our whole world, not that he wasn’t before but it is different now. Instead of cherishing vacation memories or big events, we cherish every single day. We thank Jehovah God and Jesus everyday for what we have. Our amazing faith, family and friends. We are going to make this Sept the best yet. Bill is doing his first Ironman for two great charities. We have been so blessed these past two years, we have to pay it forward. You guys have been amazing to us. Letting me vent, cry, laugh, be silly, be a hot mess and you guys are still so supportive. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. So many people have done fundraisers for us. In factwww.camadpoppers.com and FB pagehttps://www.facebook.com/CaliforniaMadPoppers
has fallen so in love with Tripp that they extended their Frozen Popcorn sale one more day. Thank you Josh. There are still so many things we want for Tripp. Get a service dog, try Hippo therapy, do the Oxygen hyperbaric chamber, try the therapy that Hawk just did in California, etc. Start real food through the tube, the lists are endless. Sometimes it is overwhelming, considering Bill and I still have to make time for each other, still plan date nights, vacations, still exercise, go in the ministry, and support other charities. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. I know we have so many new followers, some of you don’t even know what happened to Tripp. You can find Tripp’s full story on his webpagewww.teamboom4tripp.com I can never thank you guys enough for all the prayers and support. Love you all!!!
