Today was full of celebration.
This boy is my first born, and it's his birthday.
Twelve short years ago, after seventeen hours of labor, I delivered him by emergency c-section.
So many people felt sorry for me that I had to have a c-section.
To be honest, I didn't care.
The method mattered not because he was the treasure.
He is tender hearted and sensitive and persistent and a little stubborn.
He is smart and inquisitive and inventive.
He is twelve and changing and growing up.
He loves people but he's a little more introverted.
He's a thinker and an inward processor.
Pretty much, he's his daddy.
Happy Birthday, Luke.
You are my first born sunshine.
{thankful for}

Isn't it fun when a rerun surprises you like that? Just when you think you know all the episodes..."hey, what's this one?"

ReplyDeleteSuch sweet words. I loved the bit about the method mattered not because he was the treasure. After 46 hours of labor with the first and nearly dying after the birth of the second, I couldn't agree more!
