On Thursday my Elijah Boy turned 9. Wow. I can't believe that he is 9 already - where has the time gone? It seems like yesterday I was crying and scared in the hospital as I was being wheeled away to have an emergency c-section. It was a crazy first birth experience but it brought me Elijah and he was healthy and perfect. My life changed forever on that Monday afternoon and I had never known love like that before. I have learned and grown so much by being a mother, but I have also learned so much by being this boy's mother. He has such a kind and tender heart and he would give you the food from his plate if you asked. He loves God and prays that all his friends do too. He loves and worries and gives and just experiences life to the fullest and I am amazingly blessed that God chose me to be his mom. It is so true what they say - DON"T BLINK it goes by too fast.
Happy Birthday Elijah! You changed my life nine years ago and taught me what it was to be a mother and you are still teaching me new things today. I love the boy you are and I am thrilled with the young man you are becoming.
