Happy 5th Birthday!

G was so tiny the day he was born. I remember thinking nothing in the world could be so perfect. He was my introduction to motherhood. I love him with my whole heart.

It hurts my heart to know he's really not a baby anymore. Today, he is 5. This fall, he will start kindergarten. He is a big brother. He is my big boy now.

He teaches me every day to me my best, to be patient and loving.

He teaches me what it means to sacrifice and to protect.

Everything I have learned about true love has come from being a mother. And I cannot wait to find out what my kids have in store for me...

Happy birthday, G!
