my little man

Where to start. What to say. About this precious little boy who stepped into my life 1 year ago today.

 

Ryder,

 

From the moment I found out God had created you, I loved you. Your Daddy and me were overjoyed and anxiously awaited your arrival. I planned, prayed, and was still unsure how my heart would have room for the love you would need. How would I have enough time and energy to take care of you both? Wow, did that change the second I saw your sweet face! You stole my heart little man. And you still have it. I love you so much. You teach me daily even in your young age. You challenge my mama skills and like to push me to my limits. I am so thankful for you. And thankful for the close relationship we share. You have taught me patience. You have taught me to depend on Jesus more than ever for satisfaction, strength, and mercy. You are everything I ever dreamed of in a son and sooooo much more. I'm so proud of you sweet little boy. Happy first birthday, Ry-ry!

 

All my love,

Mama
