Dear Matthew, Are you sure you are really turning seven? Are you sure it has been seven years since that faithful day when I woke up you laid peaceful in the cot the nurse pronounced mommy there’s your little bundle “It’s a boy!” I remember counting all tiny fingers and toes. And yet, are you sure it’s ONLY been seven years that I have loved you with the intensity that only a mother can love her first and only son? I feel like I have known you forever – those liquid brown eyes, the delicate little nose, that cheeky and infectious grin! We have certainly had our share of adventures together over the years. You have taught me what it means to parent outside of my comfort zone, and I have learned just how far my capabilities (and patience!) can stretch. I am thankful for these lessons and know beyond a doubt that you have shown me how to be a better parent. You have such a gentle soul, and I am so proud of how you care for your friends with fierce loyalty and admirable courage. You have a strong sense of what is fair, and what is right, which is certain to be one of your biggest strengths (and I fear one of your biggest vulnerabilities). I know you feel nervous sometimes, especially when you are trying new things, but when you persevere and take risks, I am so proud of you – knowing how you must be feeling inside. You are such a clever boy. I wish you could see in yourself what I see. You understand things that are even beyond me sometimes! I’ll always admire that about you, and I think you will be happiest when you are exploring and discovering how things work. My favorite part of every day is when we lie in bed at night, and you tell me about some random thought that has been buzzing around your head. I hope you always want to tell me what you’ve been thinking about and how you are feeling. The other night you told me that you loved me “I felt how I could have doubted GOD’s love when it’s written all over Matthew from one heart to another heart GOD has truly blessed me with an amazing boy. You wrapped your arms around my neck, as I stroked your hair across your forehead, and we rubbed noses. My heart exploded with love. You are growing into such a big boy. I am starting to see a glimpse of the man that you will one day become, and I am filled with joy, and hope for the future. Thank you for being you – my darling Matthew We were blessed when you came into our lives seven years ago, and I look forward to another year of adventure as I continue my journey with you, my boy, at my side. Happy seventh birthday, Matthew GOD bless lots of LOVE Mommy, Barbie and Gran
