Long ago the Lord blessed me with a new beginning. My world changed with the joy of a new life growing inside of me. The first time I felt you move...you moved my heart. The first time I held you...I held the grace of God.

As you grew, your eyes were bright with wonder, and your smile as warm as the sun. You were my rainbow, my angel...you were my life.

You and I grew up together, holding each others hand and drying each others tears. You were my strength and my reason for everything.

As a teenager, you made me very proud and I admired you for standing strong. You exceeded every expectation, you grew to be a wonderful man. Your heart had been touched by The Lord and you found your way.

As I reflect back, I still see that little boy with his fishing pole, sitting by the water with a smile on his face.

You've filled my life with joy and happiness as you were growing up, you were everything a mother could have hoped for in a Son. You are my pride and my joy, still making me proud everyday.

Now you are married and having a child of your own. My prayer for you Son is that you will have the same wonderful loving relationship with your child, as I've had with you.

Always remember...The Lord is Your Shepherd, and through Christ All Things Are Possible! Teach your child the things that are in your heart, and he/she will never fail.

I wanted you to know how very special you are and have always been to me and I couldn't think of a better time...than now!

Thank you Son for being all that you are! You are my Strength... ~I Love You Joe...Mom~
