my boy

You came into this world with such force and wonder, I sometimes have to take a step back and remind myself just who you are and how you got here. It feels like merely moments ago that you came up for air and changed my every notion of what life was to be like. I am in such amazement of the little life that has flourished, what an incredible little person you have grown to be. You shine light into every dark corner, and whether you realize it or not, have saved me time and time again. You are a testament that great things can come from very dark places - and I will never be able to show you just how much I am in awe of you. So many days have past since you arrived, so many more days will come.. we have so much to explore. You bring me to my roots and show me the simplicity of life. Happy day of birth to you, my sweet little boy - we are only just beginning.
