I'll always need my son...

I’ll always need my son, no matter what age I am.

My son has made me laugh… made me proud… made me cry… hugged me tight… seen me fall… cheered me up… kept me going strong… and driven me crazy at times!

But, my son is a promise from God that I will have a friend forever.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Though he is only 13 weeks old... LM has managed to do all of these things and so much more. I don't know how he does some of the things he does. I don't know why I was blessed with such an amazing little boy. But I am truthfully thankful... to the very core of my being... for receiving such a blessing in my life.

Developments

This morning, I was getting ready to spend some time with ourLM while OD was changing his diaper. All of a sudden... I heard a very loud and distinct "hi" followed by a laugh from LM... which was very quickly followed up by OD leaning out the door and saying "did you hear that?"

I know... he's only 3 months old... and I've often debated whether or not I can actually count his little musing as actually being his first word... but it sure is amazing to hear his sweet little voice in the morning.

My Promise to My Child

I will stalk you, freak out on you, lecture you, drive you crazy, be your worst nightmare, embarrass you in front of your friends, hunt you down like a bloodhound until the day you understand why I do it. 

Then I'll know you are a responsible adult. All because ♥ I LOVE YOU ♥ 

You will never find anyone ...... 

who loves you and cares about you more than...

your MOTHER

I love you, LM...

I knew all along I would love you, but I never realized the depth of that love could grow any stronger... it grows by leaps and bounds every day. You're only 3 months old, but you seem to know exactly what to do to make me smile and make my cares fly away.

I love your smile... and your sweet little laugh. I love your determination... and I love your little coos and baby words. You mean the world, and so much more, to me. 

I vow to always be there for you when you fall... and when you need to celebrate success. I vow to protect you... but let you spread your wings and learn to fly. I vow to teach you new things as you teach me. I vow to be an example of faith, hope, love, trust, and intellect. I vow to show you the importance of education, hard work and dedication.

I vow all of these things and so much more. But most of all, I vow to love you... unconditionally... for all the days of my life.

Making a Difference

One morning a man walked along a beach covered with thousands of starfish that had washed up during a storm. Now they lay dying in the sun. He saw a young girl picking up the starfish one-by-one and tossing them into the sea.

As he approached her, he couldn't help but ask, "Why bother? There are too many of them. You won't make much of a difference."

She picked up another starfish and tossed it into the water; then she turned to the man and said, "I made a difference to that one."

One person can make a difference, if they just try.
