The Heart of a Son
Posted By CCOAF on September 1, 2010
Being blessed with 3 sons has filled my world and given me the biggest challenge of my life. I wouldn’t change it for the world and “No” I’m not disappointed that I didn’t have a girl. Each one of my sons holds a special place in this Mom’s heart, but this post will be about my oldest and how special he is to me.
What a cutie!
My oldest son has amazing qualities which includes how much he cares for others, his need to help others, his comedic personality to get people to laugh, his creative mind, his genuine heart that beams so bright, and he was definitely born to be a big brother. No he’s not perfect because there are some qualities that are a challenge, but he’s close enough to perfect for me.
This post came about because he did something special for his Dad and I on our 12th anniversary yesterday. When he got home from school he did is chores and homework and then got lost in his creative corner. At the time I was laying on the couch with a headache and dozing in and out, but I remember at one point he asked for one of my rings and I didn’t even ask ‘why?” After he was done and we were all getting ready to head out for dinner he mentioned there was something special on our pillows. Aw!! I told him Dad and I would check them out together after Dad got home.
I love you buddy!!
Hubby & I finally got to check out our creations that were made from his heart and boy was I touched. He wrote each of us a letter, drew a tractor picture for hubby, and made a paper ring for me. The letters explained his creations and ended with “Happy Anniversary.” I was touched to the heart and so was hubby. The tractor picture will be displayed with pride out in the barns for hubby to enjoy daily, and my purple paper taped ring will be worn on occasion but mostly kept to symbolize my son’s heart. We thanked him for his heartfelt creations right before his last kiss goodnight, and he smiled with love and pride.
His spirit shines so bright in everything he does. Whether it be creating gifts for others, helping Dad on the farm, giving a genuine hug to his teacher whenever he sees one of them, when his face lights up to see and spend time with a friend, going on a walk-about in the woods of the farm, wrestling with Dad, or putting his hand on top of my kisses so they soak in.
I’m honored to be his Mom, and my love for him is more than he will ever understand.
What qualities does your child have that you want to share with others?
