To my darling son on his 11th birthday…

Dearest son,
I want you to know that you are always first and foremost in my mind. I thank God everyday for allowing me to be your mother and it’s a blessing to be able to watch and see you grow and change everyday. I have had 11 years with you and wouldn’t trade a minute of it. I wish I could turn back time and start again, but that isn’t God’s plan and all I can do is be thankful and enjoy the ride.
I am so proud of all your accomplishments and how hard you work at things. You are not a quitter and are so determined at times, that I often wonder where it comes from. You have a giving heart and are so patient and kind.
I love your interest in sports, your love for art and music, and your appreciation for design and architecture. How you enjoy your animals or playing with Legos and even the dreaded Xbox. I am happy to be able to see you enjoy these things and how each day as you grow and mature, your interests change…
I am so thankful that you are generous, helpful, and sensitive. Most of all, I am thankful for the love you have for Jesus.
I am blessed to be your mom and look forward to seeing all that you become in the future!
I love you!
