This beautiful little boy had a birthday today…
And the more I look at these pics, the more I realize our baby girl really does look like him. Especially in this one:
As I said in my
Father’s Day 2010 post, seeing him with AJH is the most beautiful thing in the world to me. He is patient, he is loving, he is gentle and he is attentive.
Just last night he was able to soothe our little girl after she cried off and on for 3 hours with new teeth and double ear infections.
Thanks for being the best daddy ever and supporting our family with all you do.
You make all our dreams come true.
And finally, I heard this song a few months ago and have been saving to share it at the right time. I heard it on Pandora after the hubby had sent me the nicest email, and it was perfect timing. I didn’t want to post it and be one of those really sappy, annoying braggy bloggers. So I waited.
But I think today is just the right time to say “I am the luckiest.”
This song reiterates everything I already know but sometimes forget to say out loud.
“The Luckiest“–Ben Folds
I don’t get many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls
Brought me here
And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it everyday
And I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest
What if I’d been born fifty years before you
In a house on a street where you lived?
Maybe I’d be outside as you passed on your bike
Would I know?
And in a white sea of eyes
I see one pair that I recognize
And I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest
I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you
Next door there’s an old man who lived to his nineties
And one day passed away in his sleeep
And his wife; she stayed for a couple of days
And passed away
I’m sorry, I know that’s a strange way to tell you that I know we belong
That I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest
Happy birthday, hubby, from the luckiest lady on earth 😉
