Somehow,
the little boy who followed Daddy around and cried to be held,
the little boy who loved Buzz Lightyear and every type of robot…
Somehow,
that little boy grew in stature and wisdom and became a young man,
a young man who loves time with Daddy and pretends not to like hugs,
a young man whose dresser is covered with a dusty robot collection that will likely remain forever,
a young man who smiles at the little ones in our home and snuggles with the cats as he quietly reads,
a young man whose laughter makes my heart swell.
13 years ago, he made me a mother.
And, ever since then, God somehow has used him to help make me into the woman He wants me to be.
