happy golden birthday...

my golden child....

today is a special day.  my first borns birthday.  forever moments of blissful mothering, all my mistakes were made with you.  birthdays take you back to the beginning. a long walk through those delightful years, our wondrous adventure. you were my sidekick, you made my heart so full.  small pieces of the heart sewn together bit by bit.  you have been running through my days and dreams more than half my life. on that early spring day many years ago when you made your debut it was all a dream come true.   your nursery was perfect, a big quilt lovingly stitched with a big yellow duck, i loved it so.  all those books i was reading about how to be a good mom.  i can only say that from the way you have turned out i guess we did ok.  i love you.  i have always had a wide open space for you in my heart, a space  for you to grow up in.  well,  you are certainly all grown up now,  but there will always be a space in my heart that keeps you little forever in my mind.  happy, happy, birthday.  you are you and i am so thankful to be your mom.  wishing you a wonderful year ahead and many things that make you smile.

i love you.  mom   xoxo

The first is always special as they make "2" into "3" which makes "FAMILY". As you look at him now as a man, you can still see the first image of him when he was born. That is love! Best wishes to both of you and your family. xo
