Four
Happy Birthday, my dear sweet child.

You are no longer a baby. You are officially a kid.

And I am trying so hard not to cry.

Four years ago, I met you for the first time. I heard you cry, I smelled you, I felt you in my arms. You were no longer a flutter inside of me. You were a seperate being. Your little red face, you tousled black hair, your silky soft skin. All the things I expected and more. We danced to our song, and I smiled down at you as you craddled yourself in my arms. My heart was full of wonder, love, and a sense of completeness.

Four years ago, I watched over you as you slept. I made sure you had enough sustenance in your belly. I carefully changed you. I was amazed by you. And what my body had created. I fell in love for the first time. And boy was it hard. In the course of the past four years, I have marvelled at your growing pace, your infectious laughter, and your silly nature. I have also yelled, spanked, and grown frustrated with you. But there was always that nurturing love behind it all.

Four years ago, I felt the greatest pain, and the most infectious joy.

Four years ago, today: you were born.

I love you, Gabriel. Happy Birthday!

"Before you do anything, think. If you do something to try and impress someone, to be loved, accepted or even to get someone's attention, stop and think. So many people are busy trying to create an image, they die in the process."-Salma Hayek
