So Proud

Dear Son,

Today my heart swelled yet again, when I had been previously so sure it could grow no more. Today I held you, in front of your grandma Peggy, your grandpa Danny, your grandma Toni, your uncle Lance and Uncle Chris, your aunt Mimi, your cousins Vivien, Makala, and Caleb, as well as the entire congregation of our church, as your were babtized. I held your in my arms as the pastor read me the vows I was to take as a promise of your upbringing, then as he read vows to the congregation and they took vows to support your growth physically as well as spiritually . . . .
You stayed focused on him as he spoke to us . . . never making a sound - a perfect little gentleman in your white suit. You didn't even bother to make a fuss as the water was poured over your head - you seemed to understand.

When I one day look back over my life . . . at all the days I will have experience, I know that this day will be set aside with a select few - of my best days.

I love you
