The trouble with little boys is they grow up to be big boys. They come into your life and suddenly you want to spend every waking moment with them. You can’t imagine what your life would be like without them and you can’t remember what you ever did before they became a part of it. You drink in their smell, you live off the sound of their voice as they tell you they love you and then steal your heart making you theirs for eternity. Then they turn around and give you a little boy… and suddenly you realize you’ve been trapped yet again in the same snare, but you wouldn’t have it any other way. You’ve never felt so complete before you became so completely dependent on the love you have come to know from these little boys.
I never in a million years could have imagined how beautiful and complete life could be before I had my sweet husband and now my perfect little boy. I used to feel like I had to wait so long for some of the things that everyone else seemed to get so quickly. Once I found the person I wanted to spend forever with, I had to wait for him in the service of the Lord, I didn’t know he’d be mine yet, but I sure did like him. Then I had to wait to see if he’d still love me after I returned. Turns out we had a similar idea in mind and though it didn’t all happen overnight, I decided I wouldn’t have had it any other way.
We had to wait a little longer than we really wanted to start a family together, but we had more time to grow closer to one another. We became the best of friends and learned and laughed with each other every day and now we have this beautiful little boy and I think we’ve both realized we wouldn’t have had this any other way as well. Our time together, just the two of us, helped prepare us not for a better or stronger love, but a more complete one. A love that I am already seeing is binding us in another beautiful way. I am so thankful for this wonderful new addition to our family and I sure hope that the Lord blesses me with the ability to care for my two boys in the best way possible so that they never doubt my love and devotion to them. Welcome to our little family Ethan David- you are loved more than you could possibly know…at least more than you could possibly know just yet.
