Today is Michael's Birthday! Our first born son! When he was born, I thought he was the most perfect baby that ever came into the world. A gift from God. I wasn't sure I believed in God at the time, but I knew that Mike was a gift. He has been a light in my life, and in the life of countless others. The world is better for his presence. I hope he knows that.
After writing this entry, the part of me that is mother to two sons, came alive. And, I had to laugh at myself. Even though my boys are grown men, and he doesn’t need me to say the following; I feel compelled to say that Matt was a gift too. :-) Not for his sake, but for mine. I guess the day will never come that I will not worry that one child might think that I love the other more.
I can just hear Pete saying "You always have to make everything equal, don't you?" Well, I guess I do. ;-)
