Time passes so quick

Boy three years ago today I was preparing myself for my stay in hospital.  What I mean by this is I had to go into hospital to be induced due to my waters breaking early.  I was so excited I was going to meet my third child and my new son.  I hate hospital I have to say the only thing that made that stay bearable was I knew I would hold my new baby.  I cant believe that three years has been and gone.  With so many ups and so many downs.  Some I dont want to even think about because they have been so hurtfull and hard to deal with.  I think in my lifetime I honestly feel that life really has tested me to the limit on so many occassions.  Then I take a step back and look at my beautifull boys with all their elements that make them special and say to life “BRING IT ON!” I can handle it or I will die trying lol.  My baby boy is three tomorrow he is named after my late father who I so desperatley miss.  My son is like my dad which I think is weird has my dad passed away a number of years before my son was born.  I reckon my dad would be laughing if he could see some of the things they get up to.  Like yesterday me and my husband and youngest went shopping my son decided some lady was in his way and he piped up mind your butt lady with a winning cheeky grin.  Of course I did the parent who was shocked and annoyed and told my son off and told him he had to say sorry to the lady.  She was laughing I may add so had not taken it the wrong way.  It was so hard to keep the angry face on to him because all I wanted to do was laugh.  Believe me with what I have had to deal with recently losing my fourth child there have been very few things I wanted to laugh at.  I look at my three boys and I know they are young but I see them growing up and becoming more independent every day.  I hope life will be good to them.  I know tomorrow on my sons birthday he will think it has when he opens all his presents and gets his Thomas the tank engine cake.
