Henry’s Hymn

My dear sweet boy,

In just a few short days you will be three! I can’t even begin to process where the time has gone. This is such an amazing milestone, wild man. You have tackled every obstacle that has been laid before you. I am so impressed with your skill to problem solve. I mean, dude, you keep me on my toes because if you want something you will figure out how to obtain it. You have NO FEAR. This is both an amazing quality and a potential character flaw, but it will make you a fearsome competitor in this world. You have taught me so much more that I could have ever imagined in just three short years. You have been the poster child on strength and fortitude for me these last several months. Although and am I so proud and excited for all that you have and will accomplish, my heart breaks for you. You are missing one of the most important people in your life, your daddy. I miss him so much its hard to put into words. But you Henry, you have shown me that and remind me daily, that daddy is in heaven and he is in our hearts. He is always with us. I think to myself…” How did I get so lucky?!?!?” I pray that you will continue to view the world as your playground, and continue to make your way in this crazy world. Son, you possess a strength that I can never hope to understand and for that I am incredibly grateful. I know your father is providing you with all the stubborn and pigheadness you need! I’ll have to have a chat with him about that!

Thank you for being the light in my life. Thank you for always giving the best hugs, just like your daddy! They just make me feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside. I pray that you will never forget how much I love you! I know sometimes I can be a little moody and tired, but you have always shown me grace. Your love and compassion is overwhelming in the best way possible. I’ll love you forever and always, to the moon and back, to infinity and beyond. Our love will only grow. Our bond will forever remain strong, regardless of the bumps we hit along the way! Happy Birthday My little Three-Rex.

Love,

Mom
