My oldest boy,
You frustrate the snot out of me. You can drive me to depths of insanity that I never thought possible. Somedays, you just get under my skin, I know of no other way to say it.
HOWEVER (and that's a HUGE however) you are often the sweetest part of my day.
Your deep hugs, tender kisses and hysterical silliness make my heart swell with so much love and sometimes I think my chest might burst from all that it is holding inside.
You're goofy...
and you can make your sisters and brother laugh like no one else. I continue to pray that you will grow into the man that God has designed you to be. I pray that you love Him, adore Him and desire to serve Him with your whole heart, just like your Daddy.
And in the meantime, I will continue to pray that my patience with you is long, my love for you is abundantly clear and my frustrations with you are far overshadowed by this love that I hold for you, deep within my soul.
I love you sweet boy,
Momma
