My dear Caleb,
It has been 7 years today since the first time I laid eyes on you. It's hard to imagine my life before I was your Mom... It feels so empty just to think about. Sure, I enjoyed aspects of it, but I wouldn't ever go back. You my son, have changed my world every single day since the first day I held you, & really before that even. You make me laugh with your silly antics, even when you don't realize it, your brothers adoration of you is a testament to your kindness & fun-loving ways. They look up to you, and I am thankful every day that you are their big brother. I don't believe there could be a better brother to look to.
I am more proud of you every single day. It's such an honor to be your Mom. I can't tell you how I feel when I hear you defending friends from bullies, or talking your brothers through a fight... teaching people to love, forgive, get along & accept... just as you yourself do daily for everyone around you. You're such an amazing young man. The past couple of months have been hard, and I couldn't have done it without you. From helping with chores, to helping with brothers, to holding my hand and walking next to me to crawling into bed and cuddling for a few minutes each morning, you've reminded me in a million ways that my life is beautiful.
Never stop being you. I can promise you this baby, no matter what happens in your life, I will always be your biggest fan. I am so very proud of you.
Happy 7th Birthday my Caleb Aden Ralston.
Mommy loves you... more & more.
