12 years ago on December 29, 1996 I was 16 and now I was someone elses Mother. I was scared but oh so excited of what the future would hold for us both.
We certainly had a lot of growing up to do.
You were the most beautifully handsome baby I had ever laid my eyes on. You were mine.
Your smile melted my heart and your laugh was contagious.
When those big brown eyes looked into mine... It was love.
And when Calob came, you were ecstatic. You were the best Big Brother.
You always wanted to snuggle with him.
I can only hope that ya'll will always remain as close as you are now.
You always knew how to bring a smile to my face with some of the sweetest gifts.
We are so lucky to have you as our son. You are turning into a wonderful young man.Daddy and I love you so very much.
Happy 12th Birthday Jacob.
The following is the letter we got in my stocking on Christmas morning along with a frog that Jacob made and sewed himself in home-ec.
It's really sweet and it made me cry of course. But when I got to the part and his obnoxious brother the tears were because I was laughing hysterically. I also love the fact that he calls me and the hubs love birds. That kid cracks me up everytime.
He is our son and there's nothing better.
