3 years 5 months 2 weeks and 1 day...
that's how old you are right now!
It's strange to think that you
really are growing up!
You are getting so big and
it's breaking my heart!

In the last 3 years 5 months 2 weeks and 1 day

you have taught me so many things!
You have taught me to LOVE LOVE LOVE

so unconditionally that it hurts!

You have taught me what it feels like

to be loved like that in return!

This love that I have for you 

I just can't  put into words!

But you can...

at night and about 100 times a day...

in your quiet voice you say...

I love you mommy....

to infinity and beyond!

My heart melts with each

kiss...

each hug...

each I love you!

Along with love you have taught me 

how to laugh!

Not just a giggle or a chuckle

but LAUGH!

Just hearing you laugh...

that laugh that comes from

deep in your soul is

so contagious.

I laugh Owen...

I laugh with you over things

that I ordinarily wouldn't find funny...

but I laugh because of you!

Your zest for life is truly contagious!

Keep laughing and keep smiling...always!

You've taught me that it's ok
to just be yourself...
whether you are
happy
sad or
mad!
You are still you...
and even when you are mad there
is still a little light that shines on!

Thank you Owen
for the last
3 years 5 months 2 weeks and 1 day!
