My Not So Little Boy

Not a day goes by that I don't thank God for you. You came into my life at just the right time and saved me from myself when nobody else could. I was trapped in a dark place but you were my light at the end of the tunnel and the overwhelming joy that I was sure I would never feel again. Before you were born, words of Life were spoke over you and they said that you would be the glue to mend the broken families and hearts together in time of need. They couldn't have been more right.

Your kind spirit and loving heart helps me to see the good in everything and I can't help but be thankful when I am around you. Your optimism is contagious and your curiosity unending, and I hope that adventurous personality never dies. Watching you grow over the years has been one of my greatest joys. Thinking of your future and the man that you will grow to be brings me to tears because I know that with the determination that you already have you can take on the world.

Never stop dreaming.

You can achieve anything you set your heart and mind to so don't let anybody ever tell you that you are not good enough or that you can't do something. Seek God first in everything that you do and don't get discouraged if the door your looking for gets closed just look for the window He has opened for you. Always remember that you have the power to speak life or death to a situation so be aware of what you say and always choose love over hate.


And most of all... keep shining. Be the light that saved mommy to the people around you. Show them the love that you have been raised in. The love of your Father and of family. And know that no matter where you go or what you do that you always have a place to come home to and that I will always love you with every bit of my heart.

Happy Birthday my sweet boy, I love you more than you will ever know.

Love, Mommy
