When I think about you turning 6, my heart aches a little. It's not that I'm not enjoying you at this stage in your life, because you always bring joy to my life, but my heart aches because these years are going by so fast! I cannot begin to describe these past 6 years and how much I have enjoyed being your mommy. You, my dear baby, are amazing! Your zest for life is beyond my soul’s comprehension. I am in awe of every accomplishment you have made, every new thing you've learned, and your powerful and gentle spirit. I often times call you "grandpa" because you always think things through, ask numerous questions (more like 100's of questions), and you always take your time.
Son, you are wise beyond your years. You have a heart of gold and are one of the most passionate people I know. You pray for those around you, you worry about those who are ill or hurt, and you always want to make sure everyone is okay. Your little brain is like a sponge--you love to learn new things and you soak up life to the fullest. So far, you enjoy school and are eager to learn. I hope this doesn't change. You are a brilliant little boy.
As of today, you say you want to be a Coca-Cola truck driver. You love the Coca-Cola trucks and are always excited to go see them at Chris' work. I'm sure that whatever you decide to do in life, you will give it your best! You've always had a tremendous work ethic and for that I am grateful.
I want you to know that mommy is always here for you and will always, always, always love you no matter what! You make my days brighter and you fill my heart with so much love. I hope you have an amazing 6th birthday and remember mommy loves you more than there are stars in the sky!
I love you, Avery!
Love,
Mommy
