n-i-n-e

Yesterday was Brennen's birthday.  I am officially the mother of a nine-year-old!!

I don't know where the time has gone.  I remember so vividly, nine years ago, holding your tiny seven-pound body.  Not knowing all that would be in store for us.  Not having any idea of the magnitude with which my life would change.

Yesterday, we honoured you. We had a perfect evening with our closest family, celebrating nine very special years, and one very special little boy.
Brennen, you have brought so much love and happiness into our lives. It is impossible to describe how valuable and how full these past nine years have been.  

I am overcome with emotion at the realization of not only the joy you bring to me, but the joy you bring to so many others.

Brennen, I am so proud to be your Mommy.
Brennen, you are loved.
