WOW!! Where has the time gone--Just yesterday I was a new mother--holding on to a little miracle--looking into the grateful eyes of his adoptive parents as they anxiously awaited to hold their "very own" son for the first time.
I will never forget how Cello smiled so big I thought his face was going to crack. I will never forget the tender tears that Kay had in her eyes looking at a dream finally fufilled. I never will forget how small and inadequate I felt being a part of something so big and SO AWESOME!!
And now he's grown up--literally--
Does he realize what a miracle he is, does he realize how many hearts he has touched in his short years, Does he realize how our story and lives have created hope and happiness for other people.
I hope that as he grows in age, he creates a legacy. One that represents love, strength and commitment. If I have passed nothing else to him --I hope I have passed the love I feel for him, the strength to stand for something even when the world condems him and the commitment to choose the right, even when that choice is the hardest thing he will ever have to do.
Youth is the gift of Nature, but age is a work of art(Kanin)--It is your time to create art, it is your canvas. You are your own artist. Your are what you choose to be--Create your life and your experiences. Make it beautiful. Make is wonderful . Make it meaningful.
Happy Birthday Devan--I love you --I LOVE you --I love YOU!!
