Dear Colin,
I love you more than words can express. No matter what I love you. When you fight with Faith in the back seat, I love you then. When your apple falls from the tree at school, I love you. When you knock yourself silly falling from the monkey bars when you know you aren’t supposed to be on top, I love you.
You stole my heart from the beginning. Before you entered this world, God put you in my heart, and I loved you. When you lose your teeth and smile that toothless smile at me, I love you. When you slip away to your room only to return in full Peter Pan costume, I love you. I love that you cuddle your stuffed animals and sleep in spaceship pajamas. I love the way your hair sticks up in the back if it’s not combed just the right way. I love every hair on your head. When you forget to rinse your toothpaste spit out of the sink, I love you. When you strike out in a baseball game, I love you. And when you are so busy watching the other team you let a ball roll right past you, I love you then.
I love it when you ask for “mama-lovin” or when you ask if you’ll always be my baby even though you know the answer. You are precious to me. Son, there is something you must understand. There is nothing. I mean nothing you could ever do to make me stop loving you. You may make bad choices sometimes. I may be sad about things you say or do, but there is nothing you could do to lose my love. You are my child, my first-born.
So, when you ask how much I love you and my eyes just sparkle, it’s because I cannot even put it into words. I love you infinity.
Mommy
**This could be the love letter from your Heavenly Father to you, as well.
Okay, I’m typing and crying….so precious Carol.
When I was reading the letter, I thought about how God loves us. Great post!!!
Carol, this is precious! I know that I didn’t understand as clearly as I do now God’s love for me until I had a child. And I love that picture with the adorable toothless grin!
I am sooooo thankful that there is nothing I can ever do to make God stop loving me. Praise His name!
Blessings,
Jenifer
I love that song.
Beautiful letter to your son!
What a treasure for your son! I remember your birthday letter to your daughter, too!
You are a terrific mom, Carol! You feel blessed to have your children and I know they are blessed to have you!
Thanks for giving us a peak at your beautiful heart! 🙂
Love you,
K
(and that is one of my all time favorite songs!!!!)
PRECIOUS!
I like the song and the clip, but I really loved the things you wrote. This song spoke volumes in a short clip.
Please pray for my family. My daughter in in rebellion and in the process of making a bad decision that will affect her future and ours forever. Joey and I need strength and guidance. I am afraid that Andrea is turning her back on God. all over a non-christian male that is deciving her. Please add us to your prayer list at church and ask your friends to pray for us.
Thanks,
