Jackson Turns Three!

How did God know I needed to love something so unconditionally?



How did He know you would capture my heart with your first breath?


How did He know that your laugh would make my spirit's soar?


How did He know that your cry would awaken my soul?





How did He know that each milestone you've reached would bring joy to my heart

and tears to my eyes?






How did He know that your childlike wonder would make me feel like a kid again?





How did He know I needed such a gentle spirit to calm my every anger?




How did He know to give me you first to lead the way for your little brother?




How did He know you would already love him, protect him, and comfort him like you do?

How did He know to put you in my life at such a time as this so that when life hurts too much, you heal a part of me like no one else can, simply by being alive.




I guess all I know is that I am so very glad that God is God and I am not. For He has given me the most wonderful, hilarious, talented, special, handsome, sweet, loveable three year old I have ever known.


Happy Birthday Jackson!


Love,


Daddy, Mommy & Owen.
