| OH YEAH! |
 |
| The smile says it all. |
 |
| These faces. |
I made him his favorite food for dinner and he got the lightsaber he's been
And when I tucked him in bed tonight, I might have teared up. I told him how proud I am of him. I asked him to look me in the eye while I told him that he is awesome, and special, and is going to do great things. And he did. As best he could he caught my eyes- he listened and accepted that God made him uniquely special. And I assured him that he need not worry about losing his family.
I told him that I wouldn't trade him for nothing. Not one thing.
And with that big beautiful smile, he told me he loved me. I think I got the best present tonight.

Your Momma and Daddy sure do love you- and when asked if we'd do it again- the answer is YES!
Happy Tuesday y'all!
