Six!

A letter to Joseph:

Dear Joseph,

You're six! Six!!

When I held you as a 'little' baby,
 

 I couldn't picture this day, and yet it came so fast.

You don't believe you're "Real Six" yet.

In your mind, you thought you were going to noticably

grow bigger over night. But you didn't and you don't believe

me when I tell you that you were growing into six all year.

So you tell me often " I'll do that when I'm real six"

"I'm not really six yet Mommy, because I didn't grow bigger,

I'll be real six in a little while".

You sure look "Real Six" to me little man.

You compliment me every single morning and all day long:

"Mommy, I love waking up to see your face"

"Ohhh Mommy, you look so beautiful today"

"When I have a son, he's going to love you, because I love you"

"You're the cutest and sweetest mommy in the whole world"

"You're the sweetest Mommy because you say sweet words to me all day long"

You're the sweetest boy and kid I've ever come across, and I only pray that stays with you

as you grow into a big kid, and then a teenager and then of course an adult.

You make my days brighter, and make it so much easier to get through crappy situations.

Yesterday when I was crying about our life situation changing again,

you said in all the wisdom a six year old could have

"Mommy, sometimes life is hard and sometimes there isn't enough money,

and so you have to live with your parents so you can save."

You've gone through so much in your life already and yet you're still so sweet and postive.

You're always there to give me hugs when I'm crying and to tell me that everything will be

alright. And you know what, you're always right.

I'm go glad that Omi & Opa could take us to Florida.

You needed that more than any of us.

Time to be a kid, to have fun, to play and to experience the world.

You loved it. You love scary rides. You're always looking for adventure.

 

You're my best friend Joseph and I don't know what I would do without you!

Love,

Mommy
