Four

Tomorrow he turns four....

 I often think about the day we met him. How he came fast and furious almost 2 weeks early and how we were so shocked by his head full of  long black hair. He stole my heart the second they put him in my arms and his grip on me keeps getting stronger and stronger.

Our first year together was wonderful and so very hard at the same time.  He had severe reflux that caused him such discomfort and pain and caused my heart to break into a million pieces. It was then I knew the power of a Momma's love. I would sit and rock him and wonder what he would be like when he grew up and I can honestly say that I could not have even imagined he would be half as great as he is.

 You see Drake is the kind of kid who might come off as silly or sometimes even shy if you were to meet him on the street but the people that really know him, know that he is so much more.

He is witty, so very witty that it sometimes scares me. He can think on his feet and come up with a response to anything  in a second. He is funny and loves to make people laugh. He is sensitive and tends to get his feeling hurt easily. He has a heart for God.  He is a planner and always likes to know what we are going to do next. He has a smile that melts my heart and a spirit that shines.

I am so proud of the little boy that he has become and the man that he someday will be.

Sometimes I still can't wrap my head around that face that he is mine, that I was lucky enough to be chosen to be his.  He is so very blessed to be loved by countless people....but I love him the very most.

Happy 4th Birthday Drakie!
