We were playing in Brendan’s room tonight, and once again I was overcome with just how much I love him. I had been looking at some of the pictures from his very first days in Iowa, and I’m always overcome with the same set of emotions. I was so happy. I loved him so much. That was when our journey was just beginning – and I had no idea just how amazing it would be. But now I *know* him. And now I am so full with loving him completely that those early days are even more awe inspiring with an extra serving of magic sprinkled on top.
I know, I’ve said all of this before. But this is his birthday month – weren’t we just in Iowa? And if you were at our house, you would hear Rob reminding me that in another year I’ll look back on these times with the same emotions. Not possible, I tell him. There is no way I could love him or anything else even a smidge more than I do right now.
But for now, somebody is very excited that his birthday is coming.
