Five years and 2 hours ago, my husband and I welcomed Riff to the world. There are not words to express the joy I experienced at that moment nor the joy I continue to experience every moment he spends with me.
There is no other exactly like him. He is a blessing; a precious miracle gift. His beautiful heart shows in wide smiles and infectious giggles. As he continues to grow his personality evolves. Today, his interests include dancing, watching and playing sports, music, police cars and anything with buttons.
He is still too young to appreciate the words I string together in his birthday cards declaring my unconditional love. I didn't appreciate the depth of this love from my own mom until I became one myself.
As I continue in the triumphs and challenges of parenthood, I realize there are no others that have taught me so much about life, love, people, and myself. Both of my children enrich me.
At some point, the rest of the world will see and know what I already do. Riff is exceptional. He is love and so very special.
