Tomorrow my son turns 12 and I am still trying to find where the time went.
I can't even put into words what my heart feels about you, son. This last few years you have kept me grounded and have given me things for my heart that I never even imagined I would need.
Your compassion does not go unnoticed and your empathy is unmatched. Your love for the women in our family is so rare. Thank you for making me coffee in the mornings and thank you for opening the doors for your sisters. Thank you for being a natural gentleman who knows how to demonstrate masculinity without the idea that you have to trade your gentleness for it.
There are so many things that I want to say and just brag about whem it comes to you. But my mind, it's just racing with so many memories of you.
If there's one thing that I could say that I know for sure, it's that I love you. So very much. And I'm so proud to be your mom. Thank you, God, for knitting this boy especially for me.
