Jack Turns Five

I can’t hardly stand it. My sweet little baby boy is going to be five tomorrow. I have hung on to every little day, month and year of his infancy and toddlerhood with fierce, refusing to let him grow a centimeter without my approval. I have snuggled him to annoyance (on his part, not mine) and given him strict orders not to get any bigger until I’m ready (which he refuses and finds very humorous). When I look in those ocean blue eyes I can still see my perfect little newborn. While Jackson has been a gift to our entire family on both sides, God and I know that he was a special gift to me.

You are exactly who I prayed for, son. Happy 5th Birthday. Please, just for today, don’t grow even a smidgen. My little heart cannot take it.
