Happy 4th Birthday, Gavin

Dear Gavin,

How are you four already? You're my baby, the littlest one in the family and an amazing blessing to all of us. You're my miracle baby who made it through a challenging pregnancy and brought us so much joy. You instantly fit into our lives like we'd always been holding a spot for you.

Now you're a little man, ever more independent with dreams of being a star football player. You are tender, thoughtful and oh, so funny. Your silly antics can make me smile even on the hardest of days. Your passion for life and curiosity make us all pay more attention to what's around us.

Some day you'll be a grown man and my heart melts with pride when I picture that. You'll be tall, handsome and just as bright and kind as you are today. (And yes, I do expect you to carry me around when you're bigger than me. It's payback, kid, for all the times you sweet-talk me into hauling all 43 pounds of you around on my hip now.)

Gavin, you are loved. You are so, so loved.

Happy 4th birthday, Boo.

Love,
Mom
