Dear baby boy,

While your papa and I were not there to witness your birth, we were there in the beginning to witness your coming to life.  Your first words, your first steps, running, playing, laughing.  We loved from the start, and felt your immediate love in return.  The bond I prayed for was solid, heaven made and forever unbroken.

With an innate maternal love and an abundance of a dad's love, you thrived and exceeded every expectation and dream a parent could ever have for their child.  You're perfect.  You're pure.

Little do you know the impact you've had on me, I was, I am forever changed because of you.  You give me strength, you give me hope, you give me such joy.  Parent's are to teach their children, you teach me.  You've taught me the depths of love, the heights of joy, the valley's of forgiveness and ground me in faith.

I love you with all my being, and am beyond proud of you, my son.

Happy birthday, Mason.

Love, Dad & Papa
