My Son's Birthday , Today
Today...is my son's 21st birthday! My youngest, my only boy.
God sends us many precious gifts, but none that can compare with the magic and wonder of a child.
I wrote my children several letters as they grew up. This is one I wrote to my son.
“You started rolling all the way over today! To your back, which you've been doing for 3 months now, and back to your stomach again.
Honey, your so sweet!! You just raised your little head high into the air and looked up at me with a beautiful smile that simply melts my heart. You have me wrapped around your little finger. I have a feeling you'll always have that power over me.
I love you so much honey! When I see your daddy hold you in his big strong arms, you look so frail and innocent…not yet realizing the important roll this man, that you place your complete trust in, will play in your life.
I thank God for our little baby boy. I pray that he will help us to be worthy of the trust in your little brown eyes. He's placed in our hands...an innocent soul, so fresh from heaven. I want so much to be humble before his gift...and realize in our difficult task, that we need to turn for help from the greatest teacher so that we may set your tiny feet in the right direction on the path of life.
Son, we'll make many mistakes in our journey. All I ask, is that when your grown, please remember that we have done our best. Your father and I love you with all our hearts!” XO Mommy
It seems like no time at all since I bathed and dressed him in his jammies, smelled his sweet breath as he gave mommy kisses at night and tucked him into bed. I would stand there, beside his crib, watching him breathe and praying that God would keep him safe... just one more day.
I cannot imagine him no longer a child, but I know the time has come. I must release him.
I must release him completely into the a world that can be so cruel and ...stand there, beside his world, watching him breathe and praying that God would keep him safe....just one more day.
God Bless and keep you until I hold you in my arms again.
I love you...my son.
Happy Birthday,
XO Mom
