For Ethan

To my beautiful son,

In case I forget to tell you later on down the road, I love you. More than any other child I've seen in my life - I love you. When I look at you, I see my mouth - a wide smile with a full bottom lip. I see a little button nose that is the perfect combination of mine and your daddy's. I see your daddy's face shape and a mirror of his expressions in the movements of your eyebrows. And your eyes...your beautiful, dark eyes. Well, those are all yours. You see the world as a wide place to explore. My hope for you, dear one, is that when you see hurt and sadness in this world, you reach out your little pudgy hands in kindness. Whether that be in the form of a hug or the labor of your hands, may you always reach out with love first.

You are kind, smart, and funny. My greatest hope for you is that you live the life that God wants for you and that you continue to live with a kind heart, an intelligent mind, and a sense of humor.

Never forget, little one, that you are the light in my eyes and you will forever hold my heart. No matter what, I will always, ALWAYS, ALL WAYS love you.
