Celebration of a Wonderful Gift

Today is an awsome day! It is the 31st anniversary of one of the most wondrous and fabulous gifts that I have ever received! It is the day my first child was born--May 10, 1977. I remember the awe and revereance I felt at being a mother for the very first time and I remember looking at this tiny creature and feeling the complete and utter love and devotion to such a wonderful little human. I was awe struck with how very perfect he looked, how very beautiful he was and how he had been created out of love and a union that was meant to be at the time.

I still remember seeing this tiny baby and realizing at that moment that I was no longer a little girl. My first born was my milestone in life for making me realize that now, I am an adult and that I had a huge task set before me--a task to bring this beautiful child into the world and to create an existence for him that would lend not only a warmth and love of being accepted and needed--but lend a union of self worth and confidence and a sense of belonging in this world that we are destined to inhabit.

My child has grown into a wonderful man--a man who has found his way, a man who is a wonderful father, a wonderful husband and a fantastic son. He has given me many years of pride at having given birth to such a good and wonderful person and I am so blessed and so thankful to have this son in my life. He has accomplished so much in his lifetime and I and his father are so very proud of him.

I wish my son on this 31st anniversary of his birth, all the joy and contentment and inner peace and prosperity that can befall him. He is a wonderful man who is loved so very much. Happy, Happy Birthday, My son. I love you, David!

With heartfelt wishes and love,
Your Mom
