Ten years ago today my life changed forever. Ben was born. I immediately learned two things when he came into the world:
1) Now I truly know how much my parents love me (immediately felt like I needed to apologize to them!)
2) Now I can understand a little more the sacrifice the God made when he allowed his baby boy to die for me. Taking part in communion changed dramatically after Ben came into the world.
You've heard: "Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body."
So very true. Until Ben was born, I was just a different person, concerned about myself. Now, it is just so incredible how my entire life revolves around my love for him and Mary Claire. There is absolutely nothing more important to me in this world than my children. I cannot stop it, cannot control it, cannot understand it. It's just there. Something from God, I imagine.
Ben is such a blessing. From the moment he was born, we was a happy little boy. Always wanting to please us. Still does. He's so funny, so smart, and has a tender heart. I think he's taught me just as much as I have taught him about life. God knew what he was doing when he sent Ben to us.
Ben, thank you for making the last ten years the best yet. You are loved infinitely more than you can know.
