My Emmett,
Today you are 11. Often in my love letters to you, I wistfully reminisce about the baby and boy you once were. Today, I’ll write about how I see you right now.
You are a quiet observer.
Somewhat hesitant, not quite acquainted with your full potential.
The seeds of discipline have started to take root in your mind.
You are starting to see connections of cause-effect and that practice makes progress. Your soccer skills can attest to this.
Empathy, love, concern.
Intelligent, funny, gentle.
I’m certain that you are in my life to inspire goodness because you are purely good, Emmett.
My wish for you is that you continue to step into your gentle strength and confidence and that you seize life knowing that you are supported, loved and deserving.
Happy Birthday Emmett.
Love,
Mom
