It is the baby's birthday. I can not believe this year is gone. I feel so blessed that he is happy and healthy. He's such a wonderful little boy. I can't help feeling a little sad today, as well. I really did my best to enjoy his infant days. I chose to relish every moment. That did nothing to slow the time passing. I remember telling myself those first few months when I thought I could not make it any longer because I was so exhausted, "Enjoy this. These are the best times of your life." I was right. The memories of my daughter and my son being infants will be treasured with joy. So the next time I hug my children today I will say a prayer of thanks for the precious memories of their lives thus far. Having children gives so many inexplicably wonderful memories as well as so much to look forward to. I am truly blessed.
