~Forever Young~

7:05 am on this very day, 31 years ago

Four little words changed my life forever.

"You have a son"

  A boy who filled our hearts with joy, who grew into a man who still lifts my heart at the sound of his voice.

But in between then and now were years filled with happiness and joy
and learning every day just what unconditional love looks like.
I'm forever grateful for all , that little 6lb 9oz baby boy brought into our lives.

a long long time ago, in a galaxy far far away

I am not blind,
I see the man standing before me.
 I see the husband and the father he is today..

But my heart
ahhh.......
now that's another story.
My heart sees the boy

Heart of my heart
and soul of my soul .

Indulge me dear reader, as I am always sentimental on this day, as my mind goes racing back over the years.
Back to when He and I were brand new and just finding out about one another.

And I linger over the memories tucked safely away

waiting there,

 for a spark

or a special day

 that brings them flooding forth.

So I call my boy at 7:05 am this morning, as I do every year, and  I shout out to the world.

" It's 7:05 am. My son is born"

So Happy Birthday Son,

and you know that in my heart

you are

Forever Young
