God is so good, God is so good, God is so good, He’s so good to me.
Do you remember me singing this to you? Do you
remember how I would rub my growing belly and sing? I sang this to you almost
every day--sometimes crying as I wondered what the future would hold for
you.
It is hard for me to fathom that another year has
gone by already. Wasn't it just yesterday that you proudly wore your
"3" shirt on the cruise ship as we celebrated your birthday? Where
has the time gone?!
I am amazed how much you have grown and learned
over the past year. You not only met many of the desires I had for you, but
exceeded them too. This past year I heard you call me "Mama".
Something I had longed to hear for the past 2 years and it was as sweet as I
imagined. Daily I am amazed to hear you tell me what you want. I watch as you
verbally express your desire to play, eat and go outside. Your willingness to
try to speak has increased ten fold. We nervously sent you to preschool and
watched it be one of the best decisions we ever made. It was a rough transition
at first but you went from crying on the way to school to running into the
classroom. All I have to say now is, "time to go to school" and
you're out the front door. I love that you sing songs with us or hum the tune
if the words are too hard or too fast for you. Tristan, you make us laugh. You
make us proud. You make our hearts smile.
There will be new challenges ahead. A new school in
the Fall, new teachers, new therapists, new schedule. There is a rough road
ahead with the Fontan looming before us that will bring painful experiences,
new faces, new medications, and a different environment. Believe me when I look
into your eyes and say, "I know". I know how hard it is going to be
for you. I know how brave we will ask you to be. I know scary it will be.
This I promise....I promise your father and I will be with you every step of the way. Always encouraging, always guiding and always loving you.
Indeed, God is so good. We look forward to what he has in store for you in the year ahead.
I love you always and forever.
Happy Birthday my son.
