Bringing in 7 with style

Today is Mother's Day. Today is also Jaden's seventh birthday. Seven years ago I remember holding my 1 day old son on Mother's Day and thinking, "Whose baby is this?"

I also remember a holding you a week after you were born and crying through my sleep deprived hormonal tears, "She's so beautiful."

Seven years later and we still get to call you ours. How humbling. You are bright, you are deep, you are compassionate, you are full of faith. You ask questions that cause me to ask questions which cause me to grow up a little bit more.

Son, you are the iron that sharpens my iron.

I cannot imagine a better Mother's Day gift than you.
