WhoI Love And Why
  
My son. My only son, and my firstborn.
From day one, I knew he was special. He came in quick, fast and furious, but with wise eyes. Eyes that would always see beyond his years. Eyes that are intimately connected to his heart and soul.
He never cried as a baby, and has been the constant man in my life for 18+ years. He's been there with me thru thick and thin, always loving, and always helping.
He's a reader, a writer, an artist and musician, and when he wants to dodge correction, a comedian.
He can sling a load of dirt, fix fences, dig ditches, care for wild and wounded animals. He can sit in gutters alongside the poor and needy, and offer companionship, friendship and care. He can stand infront of an elite audience, dressed to the nine, and convince you he knows more than he knows on any given topic. He fits in everywhere. The Lord has granted him favor with people.
He prefers to be alone, although his phone never stops ringing. People seek him.
He seeks alone time. To read his never ending stack of books, strum his guitar, or start writing on a new book, or a new poem. He's tough but kind. Strong, but gentle.
And best of all, he loves the Lord. And is always willing to be obedient to His Word. Even when he doesn't want to.
He is one of the toughest and most courageous kids out there.. Born with what some would call a serious birth defect, he doesn't see it. And lives his life with grace and enthusiasm. Not even one speed bump in his life due to it.
He also has God's favor. God's face shines on him.
I'm a fortunate mom.
He's been there for me, his sisters, and loves, prays, and cares for his stepdad.
