Today our little boy turned 1 years old. WOW! 1 years old. I woke up this morning with the same excitement that I feel on Christmas morning. It would take forever and a day to write what I really want to write about this year. For the past 2 days, I have been thinking back to this time last year and literally reliving every single hour...., all LONG 36 of them...., waiting to hold my precious baby boy in my arms. This year has been more than I could have ever dreamed it would be. I fall in love with Elijah Brooks all over again, every single day. Jay and I are so blessed to be his parents. His little soul has been entrusted to us by Almighty God - what an enormous privilege and responsibility - and blessing - is all ours. He has touched our lives, and the lives of so many other people, deeply this year. In 1 short year, his impact on many people has been far reaching. I am so excited to see what the LORD is going to do in and through this special little boy in the years to come.
"Elijah Brooks, we love you and are so proud of you. Words fail me and your Daddy as we attempt to adequately tell you how loved you are. You are loved immeasurably and unconditionally. Thank you for bringing so much joy and happiness to our lives. Thank you for being who you are - that is all you ever have to be. You will always be loved by us, and there is a special place in our hearts reserved just for you. Happy 1st birthday"!!
Love always and forever, Mommy and Daddy.
