DEAR JACK,

MY FIRST LOVE

MY ELDEST SON

MY BABY

I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU ARE NINE YEARS OLD TODAY!

SO MUCH TIME

SO MANY ADVENTURES

SOME ON THE PATH OF MANY

SOME ON THE PATH OF SELF

ALL WALKING BESIDE YOU WITH

LOVE-

YOU ARE A LIGHT OF PURE BEAUTY

AUTHENTIC AS CAN BE

I WISH FOR NOTHING MORE

BUT TO ALWAYS WAKE UP AND SEE YOUR BEAUTIFUL SMILE AND HEAR YOUR LAUGHTER, YOUR THIRST FOR LIFE-

TO ALWAYS LOOK INTO YOUR EYES AND SEE THAT

DEEP

BLUE

SOME THING-

TODAY WE CELEBRATE YOUR BIRTH

YOUR NINE YEARS OF

GROWING…AND GROWING…AND GROWING….AND STILL….GROWING..INTO……………………

AS YOU CONTINUE ON YOUR

PATH

REMEMBER THIS….

THE DAY

YOU  FILLED MY ARMS

A LIGHT

LIT A DARK CORNER IN MY HEART

I KNEW YOU WERE COMING

I KNEW

YOU WERE MEANT TO BE

AND

I SEE CLEARER

 THAN

I

HAVE

EVER

SEEN

BEFORE.

LOVE, MOM
