A Memory
Dear Son,
We had portraits made today . . . The photographer spent nearly an hour with us -
mostly shots of you, but I had a few taken of the two of us together. You did really great - four clothing changes and all. You were a real trooper and I enjoyed every moment of it. Your grandmother had to come pick you up from the studio, as it ended up taking me nearly three hours to go over the proofs and decide what to order. They take about a hundred, then expect me to narrow it down!! [As if I wouldnt want them all!!!]
As wonderful as the entire experience was, perhaps the very best part of the day - was on the way home from church later this evening. We passed a house all lit up with Christmas lights. I turned the car around and went down the side street to the sub devision it was located in. . . I stopped in the middle of the road and before I could put the truck in park - you were already jabbering excitedly from the back seat.
I turned around to get a look at you and you were raised up from your carseat- pointing out the window with the biggest smile and and most amazing look of wonder in your eyes - you knew that was something special you were seeing and you were so very excited about it!!
It was a great feeling . ..
a great day.
Thank you for making another memory.
I love you,
Mom

Lullaby
They didn't have you where I come from
Never knew the best was yet to come
Life began when I saw your face
And I hear your laugh like a serenade
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up
I slip in bed when you're asleep
To hold you close and feel your breath on me
Tomorrow there'll be so much to do
So tonight I'll drift in a dream with you
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up
As you wander through this troubled world
In search of all things beautiful
You can close your eyes when you're miles away
And hear my voice like a serenade
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up
