Dear Davis,
12. It cannot be possible.
12 years ago, a beautiful, strong and wise boy was born.
12 years ago, you were born in a continent far away and your
birth would change the lives of our family in ways that I never could have
imagined.
12 years ago, your birth would be part of your dad and me
discovering the world. Discovering the need to learn more about others. Discovering
love in a way that feels as real as love can get. A beautiful, hard love.
This morning I spent some time looking back through pictures
of our time together the past 10 years. There is nothing brighter on this earth
than a Davis smile.
The year of 11 was a big one for you. You spent some
concentrated time learning a little more about yourself, you had a major
surgery and you grew and grew and grew. You started middle school and youth
group. And you seem to be learning more about what makes you smile these days.
What is it I most want you to know at 12?
You are loved. There is nothing you could do to change that.
You are strong and brave. Your perseverance through the hard
is a model for others.
You are gift. Our family would not be who we are without
you.
We love you so.
Love,
Me
