This past weekend was an emotional one for me. Our family celebrated my son Mason's third birthday, and I have to say the nostalgia surrounding his birth and my subsequent reflection on our mother/son relationship, and the bond we share at present really made me very sentimental. (I love you soooooo much baby =)!!!!)Mason has definitely been a great light in my life. He's just an extraordinary kid with an infectious personality that whomever comes in contact with can't get enough of. He's grown leaps and bounds and amazes me every single day. At 3 years old he's incredibly intelligent, (I'm not just saying that because I'm his proud mommy, trust me... ask anyone who knows him ;) and just a sweet, innocent soul. As he gets older, and as I start to know him more as his own individual, a new life has been breathed into my lungs. When I look at him and I see all the life, innocence, potential, and the raw self-confidence that radiates from his little body, I know that life is just a series of glass ceilings that can always be broken, and for my son, sky is the limit. But, sky is not just the limit for him, but for his greatest benefit, myself as well ;). As parents, we are our childrens primary example. How can we tell our children to chase their dreams, to be their greatest, that they can accomplish anything, if we don't exemplify that through ourselves? Mason has shown me, just by being him, that life is great, and that he along with his brother Chase are my reasons for still chasing my dreams and accomplishing the goals I've always had for myself. I want the best for them, so in turn I want the best for myself. Mason has reignited a motivation within myself that could have died out before. He's given me a reason to want more for me and my family, and a motivation to make his and his brother's lives the best possible. Kids are blessings in so many shapes and forms...they uncover places in your heart and mind that are unexplorable to others...He's made me look at my husband and appreciate him as well. Only Vic and I could make Mason...no other two people in the entire world...without each other, we'd never have our light. Our bond as husband and wife is definitely strengthened by Mason & Chase =)....All this love, and just to think I have another one who's coming into his own and is already shining down a ray of his own into my world...I'm truly blessed to have children as wonderful as mine and I'm especially blessed that God put a child like Mason into my life when he did. I've started to see the world through the eyes of a three year old with the keys to life in his hands, and you know what? Its looking more beautiful then ever... You're one in a million baby.... I LOVE YOU!!!!!
