Eddies 44th birthday was in April. Thank God He spared his life so we still have him. It is one year ago today that he was in that explosion and it has been a hard day for me as his Mother. I just hugged these pictures and cried when I got them TODAY! It is such a weepy day for me, so emotional to think how close I came to not having him... I had to miss the party because I was on the boat working which makes me even sadder. The first is a picture of Eddie with one of his gifts (you have to know Eddie to appreciate his pleasure at getting a gift like this.... He STLL LOVES TOYS!) The second one is Eddie with 4 of his Angels that saved his life that day that came to his birthday party.

To me, he is beautiful in these pictures.
