Cohen is One Year Old

COHEN IS ONE YEAR OLD!!!!!


A year ago today I had no idea if Cohen's birthday would also be the day that God took him home. We celebrate today still in awe of what God did for Cohen. Logic and statistics said we'd maybe have a few minutes to hours with our son. God knew that on this day we would celebrate....

525,600 minutes

8, 760 hours

365 days

52 weeks

12 months


1 YEAR !!!!!


We love you baby Cohen!!! You are such a blessing in our life.

__________________________________________________________________

Still working on his one year post - hopefully will get it up later today with pictures....and a little birthday present that Cohen decided to give us for his birthday!!!

_______________________________________________________________

So many people have supported and loved us during this time. We would love for Cohen to get to see all who have been touched by his life and have loved and prayed for him. If you get a chance, leave him a birthday message, comment, or email.

Happy Birthday Cohen!!! I hate that we moved away and that I have not even met you yet, but I have so enjoyed watching you grow over the past year. A happy day to you too, Emily!! You are such an amazing mama to your boys and such an inspiration to me. You have a great way of sharing your experiences and joys with all of us.

Happy Birthday Cohen! I started following your blog one year ago today when my friend Taryn told me you were on your way. I sat at my computer and cried as I saw God's miracle happening right before our eyes. Thank you for sharing God's blessing of Cohen with the world.

Emily said...

Cohen, what a gift you are. You don't even realize the plans that God has for you yet, how you have touched so many lives already in such a short time, how you have taught so many people about faith, hope, God's grace, and that miracles still exist. We love you Cohen! You are one! Have a sweet birthday!
Emily, Adam, Ethan, and Bennett

One year ago I was running to the computer every 10 minutes to check on you. I prayed, I cried, I celebrated. Now today as you turn ONE YEAR OLD I am overjoyed. You are a miracle, Cohen. Your very life is a testament to God's grace and love. I pray that you will always feel the love that surrounds you on this day. You are beautiful, sweet, and a great cuddler. But more importantly, you have amazing parents who love the Lord and a fantastic big brother with a big imagination and an even bigger heart.
HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I love you to pieces!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We prayed for you everyday last year while you were in your mommy's tummy, and now we get to see your sweet smiling face when we are out shopping! My wish is for you and David to be good buds one day :). Your parent's faith and strength has shown us and so many how God really can help us through absolutely anything!

Happy Birthday Cohen! I can't help but point out there were 52 comments before this one! This may be cheesy to say, but there are 52 weeks in a year. I used to get birthday "spankings" growing up-one pat on the bottom represented one year, then there was a "wish" of one to grow on. So here is a comment with a blessing prayed for and placed upon you for yet another year so we can celebrate # 2! Then there was always the popular and MANY MORE! Also included in this humble blessing! We love you guys and look forward to celebrating years from now Mr. Cohen's special day!
