Happy Birthday to Someone Very Special to Me

Last Wednesday, I started a series of posts about saying goodbye to loved ones, but when I realized what today was, I was like – no can do.

In the wee hours of this morning, forty years ago, in a quiet maternity ward in Aurora, Colorado, instead of a goodbye, I said a big happy hello to this seven-pound, twelve-ounce sweetheart. 

Happy Birthday, Nicholas. Momma loves you very much, and I will always keep you close to my heart.  

Even when you cry. 

Or burp. 















But this picture is still my all-time favorite of both my kids.
