I am so blessed! I have a sweet little one year old son who adores me {I feel like I can say that with confidence}. Recently he has been a little more needy. Tonight he woke up at 10:00pm, if I had left him for another minute or two he probably would have just gone back to sleep on his own, but I decided to go in and give him a little help. As soon as I picked him up he was quiet, he put his head on my shoulder and his body went heavy as he drifted back to sleep in my arms while we sat in the rocking chair. I don't think there is another feeling better than that on this earth. Its not often that I get to hold him while he is sleeping anymore, so I savored it. I just held him for a good long moment. Tears welled up in my eyes as I realized how much I love that little boy. He brings more joy and happiness into my life than I really ever thought possible. Although some days are challenging and I wonder what I am doing, it is some how all worth it just for that one moment; holding my little boy, his head resting on my shoulder, so peaceful and still, so quiet and cute, I can't imagine my life without him.
Porter I love you, and I will love you forever!
