I don't know if I would have
made it through life if I didn't push
And the first sound
that filtered from your little mouth as you seemed to be looking at me
I remember smelling you and kissing you on the forehead
Looking down at you as you drink from me
My life to you
I gave
The spitting image of your father and I
Never could I want for anything more wonderful
Rocking you in the night even though
you slept like an angel
I could hear you breathing
So nervous
I would get up and stand next to your crib
Nothing was ever wrong, but it was right for me to be there
I could see the years as they grew
More like your father and less like me
Time kept changing your features
and you still have so many more to go
One morning crawling to get the cereal
The next standing and wanting to fight the dragons
We live out of fantasies together
But what I still enjoy most
is hearing you breath at night
as I stand there staring down at the beautiful child
that Love has given me

Love,
Ladycat

I love you Luke. Always will. Yea for being 4!!!!

Farewell my forever friend, may safe journeys in life always lead you home.

I am
You are
We will always be...

Very sweet, and something to be treasured. One can only hope Luke didn't turn out JUST LIKE YOU! You know, the Mother's Curse.

Simply lovely. Our little ones certainly do pull at our heart strings and they don't stop. You've got a long way to go - enjoy!
