Happy 6th Birthday little man...

Six years ago, on a cold and snowy November night our world changed in an instant. With a head full of dark hair and a voice that demanded to be heard, you effortlessly took residence within the hearts of many. I will never forget the first moment I held you in my arms. Staring into the eyes of a little boy I had waited a lifetime to meet remains one of the greatest moments of my life. In the twinkle of an eye I became a Mother and the three of us became a family. Much has changed over the past six years but some things have remained the same. You are...

strong willed and determined to do anything you set your mind...
fiercely independent and detail oriented...joyful, handsome and slightly mischievous...funny, curious, silly and a bit dramatic...
sweet, loving, intelligent, talented and inspiring...After today you'll need to use both hands to show the world how old you are. It is my prayer that you will use those hands, along with the characteristics God has woven within you, to make a difference in the world. Happy 6th Birthday little man. I am so proud of the little boy you are becoming. You are strong. You are sweet. You are smart. You are brave. You are loved...today, tomorrow and always.

Love,
Mommy
