| Caden's first day of school 2010 |
Today is lucky number 7 for you. At times it feels like it has been forever since I have scene your beautiful smile and heard your laugh and other times it seems like just yesterday I was crying in your arms saying my last goodbyes and you telling me to stop whining. Today it feels like forever. It's been four years now that I haven't been able to celebrate the day of your birth with you, and sadly I don't remember your first three birthdays I did have with you. However because of your daddy's help I have been able to remember bits and pieces of the day we first said hello. I remember feeling exhausted yet giddy. Your daddy was the first to change you. Haha! You peed all over your dad and the wall. I remember waking up to feed you every night. Sitting in the big green rocker in your bedroom trying to stay awake. We have pictures of your first bath which I cherish. Great-Grandpa Priest and Uncle Bobby came from Arizona to see you get your baby blessing. Your first Christmas and your first real trip to anywhere besides church we went up to Idaho to be with Grandma and Grandpa Priest. I remember going to the Dr.'s and you getting your shots. I cried more than you did, you were a trooper.
I am sure today is similar to the day you received your shots or the day I said goodbye. You are happy and enjoying the attention given by many who love you dearly. I am so grateful to be able to imagine your excitement of the day. My tears are similar to those days I spoke of earlier. I wish I could watch your enjoyment and feel your little arms around me again. I wish I got to see your face as you opened your gifts. I wish for so many things on this day. I love you my little trooper and though you can't see me gathered around you as you blow out your candles today my thoughts and heart are with you. I pray that your dreams and wishes may come true. I love you! Happy Birthday son!!
