Let me preface this blog post by saying that I love my
mother, she made me who I am today, but this post is not about her. This post is about my wife, Leisha, the best
mother in the world (my mom is the other best mother in the world…).
So it has been a while since there has been any activity on
our blog. I think everyone that actually looks at our blog is aware of our
situation. For those who are not aware…here is the short version:
Our number 3 was due January 14th, 2013. When
Leisha went in for her 38 week appointment we received the devastating news
that our little boy’s heart wasn’t beating. Little Liam Dee Adams was born
January 3rd, 2013. He was a perfect little boy, but he was needed
back in heaven. Burying our son was the hardest thing we have ever done. It has
now been a little over 4 months since Liam was called to be a missionary in
Heaven. We miss him immensely, and wish he was here with us, but we know that
he is busy elsewhere. We look forward to the day when we will be reunited.
Anyway, back to why Leisha is the best mother in the world…
Everyone who knows Leisha is aware of how amazing she is. No
matter what is going on in her personal life she always puts everyone else
first. Maybe she does it to take her mind off of her own struggles, or maybe
she doesn’t even think about it, but I can’t remember a time when Leisha was
selfish. There is nothing more important to her than her family. My phone is
filled with texts of her and the girls doing silly things. Basically just being
together (and making me feel jealous I am not with them…). The Friday before
mother’s day I came home to a table filled with handmade cards for various “mother’s”
in our life. She had helped the girls prepare cards for grandmas and great
grandmas with the intention of spending “her day” delivering them. Most of
mother’s day morning was spent getting ready for church. We tried to do our
part by leaving Leisha alone to get ready and relax. Of course I had meetings
before church so She had to take care of the girls. After church we stopped by
Grami Anne’s to deliver a card. Then we hurried over to Moses Lake for dinner
with Gramimi and Pop (Marion and Mike). Then we went over to visit my mom. We then
stopped by Sweet Marie as well. (Our visit to Grandma D will be tonight...) By the time we finally headed home it was close
to 9:00. The last thing we did was stop by little Liam’s gravesite. It was dark
when we pulled into the cemetery. I stayed with the girls in the truck while
they slept. I sat there thinking about all the moms in my life as I watched my
sweet wife run out to her little boy. Not many women could spend their mother’s
day trying to make other people feel special while inside they were aching for
their lost one. I thought about my mom who had just sent a text to the whole
family stating how blessed and happy she was to hear from each of her children.
I felt so bad for Leisha as she had to go and visit Liam’s special spot in
order to have that same mother’s day experience. How heart breaking it must be
to be a mother of a sweet little angel. But that is why I love Leisha. Through all
the trial and heartbreak of this experience she has been my rock and pushed
forward with the knowledge that we will get to have our little boy again.
So that is why Leisha is the best mom in the world…because
only the best moms can raise angels.
I love you Leisha! Happy mother’s day (yesterday…)!!!!!
