no. 320 birthday love

today is my honey bear's birthday!

i will never forget his daddy's voice when he called to share the news-
your mommy was resting
and they had been watching a movie that had an angel theme to it...a spy movie, but still
angels.

we sent your dad a mirror
to practice his best
daddy
faces
as they waited for you to be born.

i remember wrapping the gifts i sent to your mommy for her shower
and thinking as i did it
"soon, someone who i will love for the rest of my life, someone will be wearing this..."
and then you came-

beautiful, sweet, tiny...
you
and your uncle tony and i were amazed by the sight of you!
Pres thought you HAD to be brothers, because you shared a name
Doll thought you were here own personal doll

you made the world a better place on the day that you were born
you made our family a better family on the day that you were born

though were waaay too far apart on every one of your birthdays
our love for you builds and crosses the bridge.

have a wonderful day, watch the mail, and carry in your heart all the happy birthday wishes it can hold until we get to see you and hug you for ourselves!!
we LOVE you Jacob!!!

aunt essie, uncle tony, pres, dollie, and ben
