birthday boy

My sweet Luke,

Today you are nine.

Nine.

Something about that number makes mommy so excited and sad all at once.

Not quite my little boy anymore, on your way to becoming a little man.

Seeing you grow into the person you are going to be this year has brought me so much joy and made me so proud.

You are an incredible child.

One with the biggest heart I've ever seen.

A heart that has been through so much in your short time here but yet still sees the good in everything and everybody.

You love without boundaries or questions and go out of your way to make sure everyone feels accepted.

Your determination is unending and you are stubborn at times but always eager to learn something new.

Your curiosity is inspiring (and sometimes a little nerve racking :)) and I know with your sense of adventure and imagination that the sky is the limit for you.

I love you my sweet boy.....more than you'll ever know.

Happy birthday, I can't wait to see what this year holds for you!
