Kadin's Journey Continues

I honestly can not believe that I have not continued in my blogging about our little miracle man. He is so awesome, so loving, so fun, so BUSSSSSY!!! Maybe that’s why I haven’t had time to blog. It really does take a little time to sit down and collect my thoughts about what I want to convey here. For so long, there was not enough room in my brain for everything that happened, and it seemed as soon as it happened I was channeling it out my fingertips so that I would not lose any of it.
Yesterday, a sweet friend of mine that I met in the hospital when Kadin was in the NICU began her vision for a foundation in her son’s honor that will help others by supporting them emotionally through their preemie roller-coasters. She requested that I share a little bit of Kadin’s story on her page so that other’s may be inspired. So, I did. And all day long after that, it’s all I could think about. I also was able to share his story with about 3 other people throughout the day yesterday. It makes me so proud, yet extremely humbled, to be able to tell others “Look what the Lord has done!!!”
Moving to FW included a vision for establishing the Kadin Isaiah Kirkpatrick Foundation for Micro-Preemies and Preemies. Unfortunately, that has not been completely established at this time. Life has taken a few different turns than were originally planned, but the vision had not died and if it’s the last thing I do in my son’s honor, I will do it. I have met a few people who are helping me on the right path, I just have to follow through now.
So with all that being said, you now know that I will continue writing about my awesome son’s life, where he is in his development, his attitude, his spiritual life, etc. I truly want to help others know they can make it through anything. I believe with all that I have and am that each one of us will get out of life exactly what we put into it. I haven’t always sown to the positive side of life and maybe that is why I had to go through such rough times in this journey with Kadin, but I can tell you that God heard my cries and saw fit to extend His Mighty Hand to grab mine as I reached for Him and cried out for Him to carry me through this. I don’t recall a time at all after that that His presence was not made known to me!
I pray someone’s life is touched and changed for the better by knowing Kadin, if only through this blog….
Happy Thursday, people! Smile at someone today, for no reason at all, except to hopefully see them smile back! :)
