When he was born I fell in love in a whole new way.
And when he turned one he was still the only babe in my arms, still needed me at every turn, at every tear, every smile.
But we all know what happens so soon after the first steps –the steps being taken, well they just keeping going.
Going to new places and new people as this bright world gets bigger.
Just like him.
Bigger. And Brighter.
And as we celebrated his 7th year of life at a Laser Light Show, singing the words to the songs of one of his favorites- Micheal Jackson {Lady Gaga has a place in his heart as well}, my eyes welled up with tears.
And although some may think it was due to the lyrics of the song Man in the Mirror {Joke!}, it was, in fact, due to the babe boy lying next to me.
Hand wrapped in mine.
Head on my shoulder, letting me breathe in deep as my eyes filled fast.
Wanting to never forget this moment, this time.
Because I know they all say it goes by too fast and oh, how I know that truth.
Happy Birthday Moses. You are grand.
Oh my. How is it that Moses is 7 already!? That mean Elliott isn’t too far behind…ok well, I guess we still have a year and a half to go, but even at 5 he seems way too old : – )
