Smell the Roses

He slowed me down at a time when I needed it.



He forced me to put one foot in front of the other because I couldn't look down at his sweet face and not keep going.


In the midnight hour, when I wanted to dwell on things that weren't going right, I'd feed him, change him, and cuddle him and while I was taking care of him, I was taking care of myself.



He let me love him with the reckless abandon.



He still does that.





I love you CJ.

                                     

I'm so thankful to have spent so much time nurturing you and watching you grow.


Happy 1st birthday little guy!
