1: This book was made with love from Mom and Dad. It is with hope that as you read the pages, the memories and good times will forever stay in your heart! We love you. xoxo

2: Grown Up You are my firstborn, my pride and joy. What a surprise to find out you weren't a boy! Our bond was created before you were born. It's a link between us that'll never be torn. God sent me an angel from above to teach me guidance, patience and love. You were a heavenly vision from your cute button nose all the way down to those tiny toes. When you wrapped your hand around my finger so tight, it was love at first sight. No longer would it be Daddy and me; we had become a family of three. Soon you learned to crawl and then walk. All the while expressing yourself with baby talk. "Da Da" was the first word you learned to say. But "I go shopping" was heard whenever we would play.

3: Before I knew it you were learning to read. Years later you impressed the track coaches with your lightning speed. Time quickly flew by. You had grown up in the blink of an eye. I missed the times when I kissed your boo boos and scraped knees, to you constantly asking to borrow the car keys. You're not little anymore, so spread your wings and soar. Don't worry, I'll catch you if you fall. Together we can handle anything big or small. If I could go back, there's nothing I would change or undo. My life is fulfilled all because of you. Although you live miles away, in my heart is where you'll always stay! xoxo Mom
