Dear Noah

I wish I could find the words to tell you just how much I love you! I never dreamed it would be possible to feel so much love for a child let alone another human being. Time has gone by so quickly already. I find it so hard to believe you are 5 1/2 years old and this fall will be starting kindergarten. Where has the time gone? I worry about you and your future. So much strife is in the world these days and seems to be getting worse by the minute. I know I should not worry but I do. I only want the best for you and for you to only be happy and have the best memories and life you could possibly have here on this earth. I pray to God constantly for guidance in bringing you up. I remember hearing how we are to "pray without ceasing" and since you have been born I can say I CERTAINLY do that! I guess I know as a human I do have limits and can only protect you so much in your life. Someday if you read these entries I hope you will be able to grasp just how MUCH you mean to me and your daddy. I love you to the MOON AND BACK again....to INFINITY and beyond....FOREVER...and EVER....and EVER....and EVER.....AGAIN....and AGAIN....and AGAIN...and AGAIN. YOU will know this as I have repeated this same phrase to you EVERY night before you go to sleep. I do hope and pray you will enjoy being a CHILD. You have plenty of time to grow up and step out into this world.

I love you forever!

Mommy
