I have had a very hard time over the past week accepting the upcoming birthday. I am so happy for him but I have to admit I have had a great deal of sadness.
It's over. The first, wonderful, challenging, life changing year is over. The only appropriate word is bittersweet.
I suppose my sadness comes from the realization that I can NEVER get this beautiful time back. It is a moment that is gone forever.
I have so enjoyed watching him grow and change and become the boy he is today.
Jack, you have brought inexplicable joy to my life. You have made a better person. Your presence has taught me things about myself and life that I never thought possible. You are my light. You are my heart. You are so very loved.
Mom (a.k.a. Lindsey)
