Why I love Mothers Day: Pt2

Alexander-

The morning that I went to the hospital to have you was one of the happiest days of my life.  And I had no idea how much my life was about to change or just how special our bond was going to be.  But as soon as I heard your little cry I could not imagine a life with out you. Someday you will understand the whole story, but always know that you are my saving grace. When daddy handed you to me and I held you, I knew that there was so much more to come in my life.  I knew that I was about to embark on a whole new journey and you have not disappointed me there.  Life in your eyes is one big adventure.  I am just lucky enough to be here for the ride.

It was clear from the start, you are a mommas boy.  And while some days I could use a few minutes to myself, I have come to accept that is not very likely.  You are a lover and shower me in hugs and kisses every day.  And even though you are only a 1/4 Marshallese you run on island time.   Most days you are as silly as can be.  You are cute and you know just when you flash those big brown eyes for a little help in getting out of what ever trouble it is you are finding yourself in.  And it works.  Your smile is contagious and a smirk that always makes me nervous.  They will both get you in to some trouble later on in life!

Your energy amazes me.  You are the boy that pics weeds for me instead of flowers because they are just as beautiful.  You hover around me when I am sick and always remind me to take my meds.  You are 4 years old and my hugs and kisses still fix your bumps and bruises.  I will hold on to that for as long as I can.  Lucky for me, unlike your big brother, you are perfectly fine being the baby.  You won't hear me complaining about that either.  Stay small and sweet for as long as you can.

Mommas Boy?  I think so!

I hope in time I am able to help you understand just how thankful I am to have you here in my life.  A life I would have lost if it weren't for you.  I will always do my best to show you that!  You are my angel.  Thank You for saving me.  I love you little man!
