Ayden Grant

"Daddy!" I held out my arms as my two son ran into my arms. Cameron and I adopted twins after we got married. They were 5 years old today.

Time flew by. It feels like just yesterday I was feeding them a bottle and now they were going to start school this year.

"Happy birthday Grayson and Ethan!"

"I five years old today" Grayson said holding up five fingers.

"Me too!" Ethan said.

"I know. You're both getting so big." I couldn't believe they were already five years old. "Let's go wake up papa."

They both ran into the bedroom to wake up Cameron. As I walked in they were both jumping on the bed yelling "Papa! Get up."

"I five years old now." "Me too Papa."

"Happy birthday!" Cameron told them. I smiled at the scene in front of me. My husband and my two kids. Life felt perfect.

"Good morning." He said to me.

Cameron walked over to me and pulled me into a hug. "You know what else today is?" He asked me.

I smiled sadly, "Suicide prevention day."

He squeezed my hand, "I love you."

"I love you more than you'll ever know Ayden."

Life is the greatest gift we've ever been given.
