Heart Strings

Dear Son,

This is the very first picture taken of you with your Uncle Lance. I cried the first time I saw it. It was an amazing, and not altogether expected flood of emotions . . . seeing my very best friend, the one who's been there with me through it all, the one who knows so many of my secrets - secrets I told only to one other, and that person is you, while you still lived inside, the person whom for so long I'd loved more than any other, now holding the person I will forever love more than any other . . . . it was a beautiful thing to behold. How much, I love you both.
