David , my youngest child, who brings so much joy to us turned eleven this month. Kristen, his sister, sent a card in the mail that was hand written and said the following:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my Favorite boy in the world! I remember the day you were born like it was yesterday. I walked into the hospital room and mom was holding you gently in her arms. When I met you, you were so quiet, but I knew you understood everything we were saying to you. Your big blue eyes were very wise; when I looked into them I knew that I had known you for a long, long time. When I held you for the first time I felt so comforted, like a mothers hug when you have a nightmare. I had just turned eleven when you were born and Ally and I had been in "Annie" @ the Fox two months earlier. You heard us singing from inside mom's belly. You seemed so big in there, but when you came out you were so teeny, tiny and you surprised us all with your bleach blonde hair!
I remember when you learned to roll-over, to walk, to talk...but mostly I remember how much you smiled. You have always been such a happy boy, filled with compassion and love for everyone and everything. You inspire me in more ways than I ever thought possible. I am HONORED to be your sister. I am amazed by how mature and smart you are. As the years go by I find myself missing my baby boy, but when I look at you getting older and older, I can't wait for another year because you just keep getting better. I love you with all lf my heart. Happy birthday.
Kristen says it well. Happy birthday David!
