It has been a roller coaster of a ride since you were born, with lots of good ups, and a lot of downs. Your Granddaddy, my daddy, passed away when you were only 8 months old. You only met him twice, when you were first born, and again at Christmas, but he adored you so very much. He used to brag about you to his friends and coworkers, and they all knew of you before they even met you. I went through a tough time when he passed away, and I still am, and the thing I regret most is never getting a picture with the two of you. I only have two of him and myself, and I wish I had more.
Watching you grow, and seeing your personality develop has been one of the greatest gifts God has ever given me. People say you are a special little boy, and they are right. Never before have I seen a little one so sweet, tenderhearted and joyful- and always full of surprises.
You have been the biggest blessing for your father and I, and will always hold a special place in our hearts.
I love you, little man.
