Happy Birthday Buddy

It is amazing how time has gone by. Just realised it has been a year since last blogged. Little One turns six today. I am deeply grateful to the growth the Lord has given the Little One. I once heard a line on Fraisier that goes something like this, "We fall in love with our children." When the Little One first came, a visitor gushed all over him, and said - So were you overwhelmed with love for the baby when he first arrived?" I was stumped for a moment - simply because I wasn't. In fact, because it was an emergency Ceasarian, I woke up and marvelled when I saw the baby. The emotional cringe came when someone said - Oh, he looks like his Grandfather. That statement, for some reason, totally creeped me out. No offense meant. I was waiting to hear - Oh the boy looks like the father, or the mother. It never occurred that the baby would like the the grandparents... Anyway, that is just one of funny moments. Later, I came to appreciate that he represented different facets of people we love, and he is indeed marvellously and wonderfully made. He is his own little person with a personality that is so kind and generous. I am deeply grateful for his growth, and look forward to knowing him more. :) Happy Birthday, Buddy!
