My little boy turns 10

I woke up this morning and a scary feeling came over me.  I realized my little boy turns 10 tomorrow!  10!  It's been 10 years that he has been on this planet and through everything we have endured together, he is still the very best thing that's come into my life.  He makes everyday better and makes my world a better place.  He has taught me to slow down, enjoy the little things, and smile even when I feel my very worst.

He has brought me laughter, joy, and just an unbelievable satisfaction I never knew I could feel.  I am so proud of who he has become in 10 years and everything he has taught me throughout his life.

Skylar-Braden, I am so glad you're my son.  You give me so much more than you know!  I love you!

No amount of gold could ever compare, to the gift of love that my son shares.
I've been blind and I couldn't see that all the love I've wanted is right here in front of me.
He gives reason to get through another day.
Maybe it's how he loves me in his special little way.
And when it gets hard for me to sleep at night....
He wraps his little arms around me and says God will make things right!
From sweet gentle touches to his bear hugs and a kiss...
He makes this hell on earth seem more like a peaceful bliss.
That great big kool-aid smile and the twinkle in his eyes....
Every time I look at him it makes me want to cry.
But they're not tears of sorrow; they're tears of pride and joy....
To know that all the love in heaven is wrapped around my little boy
